Grandma-in-Chief Loves Her Yoga

Posted on Jan 20th 2009 12:30PM by Kristen Seymour
Barack Obama and Marian RobinsonMarian Robinson, the 72-year-old mother of Michelle Obama, is getting lots of attention for her plans to move into the White House with her family (not a permanent plan, by the way -- she thinks the White House is like a museum, and, "how do you sleep in a museum?"). She simply wants to make sure her granddaughters, Malia and Sasha, get settled in comfortably.

However, that's not the only interesting thing about the new Grandma-in-Chief -- did you know she loves yoga? Sasha and Malia's godmother, Eleanor "Mama Kaye" Wilson, is her Grandma's partner, and they take lessons from Robinson's little brother, 57-year-old Stephen Shields. Robinson told PEOPLE, "He's our youngest child out of seven children and he's the wisest. He has found a way to make a living doing what he likes to do, and I've always admired that."

So, we have a president who fits in a workout Every. Single. Day. We have a First Lady who makes fitness a top priority. And Grandma's in on the act, too? Let's hope our country is ready for a fit four years!
