Say hello to Stella Maxwell, who loves to get herself into a bunch of yoga poses.

The Victoria's Secret model credits yoga for her svelte, toned figure.

A fan of Bikram yoga, Stella always relies on yoga to get in shape before the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show.

In her quest to work on her fexibility, the VS model discovered yoga, which has helped her be more focused while walking the ramp. 

'The level of toughness can vary. But, you are very much in control of that,' says the model who has been practicing yoga for the last three years. 

'If you don't want to do Bikram, maybe a good idea is to do normal room-temperature yoga.

'Yoga Flow is kind of fun, because there's music. I find it just a very enjoyable hour of life, rather than like something that's hard like a work out.'

When she feels flustered, Stella turns to yoga.

Yoga has helped this VS model soothe her body and calm her mind.

Stella trains regularly with New York-based yoga instructor Beth Cooke, who helps her with the core-work.
