KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Gymnastics Federation (MGF) are hoping to include two events trampoline and aerobics into their programme for the first time in a bid to expand and develop the sport in the country.

MGFs current programme has three disciplines rhythmic gymnastics as well as mens and womens artistic gymnastics.

And whats more, trampoline gymnastics, an Olympic discipline which involves gymnasts (mens and womens individual or duo) performing routines incorporating somersaults, jumps and twists at a height of eight metres will be contested for the first time at the 2015 SEA Games in Singapore and will also be contested in the Asian Games and World Cup.

With the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) providing two Eurotramp trampolines, MGF president Razak Mat Amin said it was high time for Malaysian gymnastics to take up the discipline.

Trampoline is an Olympic discipline and our neighbours in the region have already included it into their programme so I think it is high time we do so too, said Razak at the first MGF council meeting of the year.

We definitely have the talent and the right stature and frame to excel in the sport and in 2017 Kuala Lumpur will host the SEA Games so we would definitely like to be able to have gymnasts involved, he added.

Gisele Bndchen is the type of person who looks good wearing yoga pants.

Clearly Tom Brady's wife looks phenomenal in the garment, which can often be unflattering on mere mortals.

And on Tuesday, the 32-year-old mom of two showed just how hot finding your zen can be.

In an Instagram shot, Gisele and her yoga guru pal look serene and focused in a twisting lunge position, aka a variation of the Twisted Warrior pose. " A beautiful way to start the morning practicing with my friend Cristina Kalyani Paes." the supermodel writes. "Wishing you a joyful day!"

OK, universe: If we could all look and feel like Gisele after a yoga sesh, that'd be great. Namaste.

Van Tieu | 5/14/2013 If you have trouble with balance or stretching, you may want to consider yoga. It doesn`t matter if you are pregnant, have a physical disability, or are recovering from an injury, anyone can do yoga with a little help.

Even if you can`t hold a yoga pose, let alone balance, yoga instructor Brenda Stone says you can still get the benefits with adaptive yoga. "Adaptive Yoga is pretty much using chairs for balance and support"

It basically brings the floor up to you. This is especially important for people who can`t get down on the floor for a variety of reasons. "We have people who are pregnant, people who have special needs. We have people with knee replacements, MS. Parkinsons.... "

Susan Hoefs discovered chair yoga three years ago. "I have MS and it helps keep me balanced."

Though impressive, yoga isn`t all about turning yourself into a pretzel.

"Yoga means union between mind, body and spirit," Stone said.

It is more about making sure bodies are in proper alignment and using the breath.

"The breath is what yoga is all about. That is the foundation of yoga. The more you breathe, the deeper you breathe in, the more oxygen you get into the body, into the blood stream, the more your body will heal from the inside out," Stone said.

By incorporating the chairs for support, it helps get the body moving.

"Stretch the shoulders. Be able to move and twist a little bit, as they`re sitting in their chairs."
