A lot of celebrities pay their respects to the fine art of yoga. They like how it sculpts their bodies, how it relaxes their souls, how it brings them face to face with, well, beautiful women. Not all stars sing this specific yoga praise. But Maroon 5 rocker Adam Levine does.

"Let's face it," joked Levine to Women's Health magazine. "I only practice yoga because the classes are always packed with beautiful women."

Beautiful women are not the only reason Levine loves yoga. He's a fan because it's the most convenient way for him to exercise on the road. All he needs is a few feet of space, a mat, and the right state of mind.

Right off the bat, the 29-year-old was a bit caught up in the clichés associated with yoga. But now, he just plain likes how it makes him feel. At first, he embraced the fitness practice to help with tightness in his lower back, hips, and hamstrings. After his first class though, he felt both challenged and physically satisfied. It's so much better than lifting weights, he says, which he'd been doing for years.

Want to embrace yoga yourself? Levine says to start simple and put it down on your calendar as a social priority. Beautiful women, remember? Maybe some beautiful men too.

How often do you exercise? I eat seven days a week, and I exercise seven days a week!

What type of exercise do you do? Power walking, light weight training (for muscle tone), and yoga (for balance, flexibility, and occasionally turning my organs upside down). I think there's something really healthy about moving your organs around!
