Supermodel Gisele Bundchen has shown off some of her favourite stretches in some unconventional ladies yoga clothing - an ivory Bottega Veneta cotton-crepe jumpsuit and black sash.

The 29-year-old recently gave birth to her son Benjamin Rein in a bathtub in her home that overlooks the Charles River in Boston.

She told Vogue that she managed to regain her figure without doing much more than practising yoga exercise poses.

"I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week," she revealed to the magazine.

She went on to say that she only gained 30 pounds while she was pregnant.

"I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals. I was mindful about what I ate," Gisele added.

In a photograph shot in Costa Rica for the magazine, the model balances on one leg, holding the other and stretching it high in the air.

Cheapflights.com recently named Tangalle, Sri Lanka, as the number one place for women to don their ladies fitness wear and practise the Indian meditation technique.
