US skating champion and Olympic silver medallist Sasha Cohen has revealed that she is a big fan of donning her ladies yoga clothing and practicing the Indian form of meditation.

The 25-year-old is currently travelling across the US and Canada with the Stars on Ice tour and told mlive.com that, between performing and training on the ice, she likes to practice yoga.

"I can take yoga with me everywhere - hotels, arenas - I've gotten to work out when the hotel we're at doesn't have a gym," she said.

Sasha went on to say that she loves yoga because it "works on balance, strength, and flexibility".

The star revealed that she gets her energy for performing from bananas and chicken and that, after the show, she will eat a big salad.

She also confessed to being a lover of avocados, nuts, spinach and broccoli.

Supermodel Gisele told Vogue in February that she ate well and practiced yoga in preparation for the birth of her son.
