Sting praises yoga

ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)

STORY: Sting was in New York on Tuesday (September 16) to support his yoga instructor, Sharon Gannon at the Jivamukti Yoga School and her new book, "Simple Recipes for Joy." A devotee of yoga since the 1990s, when asked as to why he still continues to practice, Sting, 62, laughed and explained it's added decades to his sexiness. "Yoga has given me, I would say, twenty extra years of being incredibly sexy and vital," the English musician said. The former frontman of The Police has sold more than 100 million records in his 35-year career with the rock band and on his own as well as acting in various films and TV shows. The Grammy award winning artist also runs a charity with his wife Trudie Styler, is a devoted yoga buff and human rights and environmental activist.
