The seated lotus postures are an amazing way to go into meditation, or simply just to take a moment to ground oneself.

I used to be able to do the Chinese splits, where you open your legs sideways.

I was a gymnast for many years before I was a dancer, so it comes in pretty handy when we do stunts.

I was into sports and swimming as a kid and didn't spend a whole lot of time sitting down. I was a gymnast.

Before, I would play a little hoops, a little tennis. Now it's more yoga, Pilates, stretching, some light weight work, push-ups, sit-ups, resistance things. When I used to live on the eleventh floor, I would take the steps. I don't do that so much now. I'm taking the elevator a bit more these days.

I was basically adventurous, I think I wanted to try everything.

I began dancing when I was 7 years old. I was told that I had the perfect ballet dancer's body and had these crazy high arches in my feet that resulted in an amazing point. Ballet was very disciplined and, frankly, a little boring, so I eventually transitioned to gymnastics. I loved that, although I never reached a competitive level.

I wish I did something like yoga or Pilates. All the people I know who do it tell me it's incredible.

All I had to do was go out and perform. One of the hardest things was doing those back flips, where you had to jump up and land on the top rope. It's precision movement.

I had to relearn how to ride a horse like an ape. I had to change how I jumped off and how I gripped them with my thighs and distribute my weight differently.
