Whose body is more scrutinized than that of Jennifer Aniston? It seems that at any given checkout lane, Aniston can be found posing on magazine covers, flashing a super-likeable smile and beaming superhuman sex appeal -- her hair meticulously tousled, her body professionally sculpted and svelte. Over the last few years, the standard headline with these photos has been something like, Look how good Jen looks at 41 42 ... 43 years old.

Aniston is now 44, and the obsession with her body continues. In addition to the endless hallucinations of baby bumps, media and fans are buzzing about her starring role in We're the Millers, a comedy released on August 7. Aniston plays a stripper who's hired to pose as a normal mom, and (of course), there's a scene in which she dances in teeny tiny underwear.

The consensus seems to be that her body looks even fitter, tighter and more toned than usual, thanks to healthy eating and some serious training. And she didn't train alone. Mandy Ingber, Aniston's longtime yoga instructor, is one of a few professionals that helped the actress shape up for We're the Millers. Based in Los Angeles, Ingber has worked with several statuesque celebrities, including Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Beckinsale, Helen Hunt and Brooke Shields. In May, to follow up her 2009 Yogalosophy DVD, Ingber released a best-selling book titled Yogalosophy: 28 Days to the Ultimate Mind-Body Makeover.

U.S. News talked with Ingber about working with Aniston and her own personal tips for looking and feeling fit enough to work the red carpet. Her responses have been edited.

You've been working with Jennifer Aniston and many others for a long time. When training began for "We're the Millers," what specific results were you and Aniston aiming for -- especially given that risqu strip scene?

The main result we wanted was for her to feel comfortable in her body. Jen has a really good natural connection to her body, and I think that really shows. With the yoga portion of her workouts, obviously I am looking for things like balance and agility, in addition to the transition from movement to movement, which primarily involves core strength, presence and focus.

How did you shape the new regimen to achieve those results?
