Before Super Bowl, Madonna had a hydraulic yoga retreat center rigged up in her hotel room

If that title is blowing your mind, you're probably not alone. Headlines nationwide are reporting people's awe and amazement at Madonna's commitment to the mind-body routine, as evidenced by her recent request to have a hydraulic yoga retreat center built in her Indianapolis hotel room.

The jury-rigged device consisted of a mat and platform that could be raised nearly to the ceiling, according to Us Weekly. Betcha haven't seen that at your latest Sedona yoga classes!

Why did Madge ask for such a complex mechanism to be constructed just before her appearance in the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show?

Apparently, for the exact reason you might expect: the 53-year-old superstar loves yoga, using it to stay fit before big performances. And to call her routine at this year's championship game "big" is to make quite the understatement.

The news source said that her performances of "Vogue," "Music," "Give Me All Your Luvin'" and "Like a Prayer" – which were backed by artists like Cee Lo Green, M.I.A. and Nicky Minaj – were some of the most widely lauded in Super Bowl history.

No wonder she needed five days of practice, and five nights of hydraulic yoga to get herself psyched up!

Sedona yoga classes are the perfect Christmas gift

For people who live in Sedona, Arizona, what could be a better gift than getting a membership to one of the many yoga retreat centers in the area? Individuals who take Sedona yoga classes often report feeling relaxed, refreshed and reconnected to themselves and their community.

Those are just a few reasons why giving yoga memberships has become quite a trend around Christmastime.

In a recent article published by The Huffington Post, author Joan Moran explained that yoga is "the gift that keeps giving." Not only does the holistic healing regimen help relieve some of the stress of the holidays, but it can also leave individuals feeling happier and healthier all year round.

Likewise, Moran stated that yoga is not the typical consumerist product – that is, the essence of yoga is not about the buying itself, but rather about the life-changing experience that comes with deep breathing, stretching and meditation.

That's certainly true of the yoga classes that can be found in Sedona. Enthusiasts who take classes there report feeling a deep sense of peace and inner well-being.

Sedona yoga classes help breast cancer survivor heal

Plenty of people go on yoga retreats in Arizona in order to improve their flexibility or strengthen their mind-body connection. However, Kelly Boarder took Sedona yoga classes as a way to become whole again after surviving breast cancer.

As she told the Reading Eagle, the 46-year-old yoga instructor spent some time in the Arizona mountains following her final breast reconstruction surgery last year.

Boarder noted that yoga retreats in the Arizona landscape gave her a sense of calm and tranquility that few other holistic regimens could match.

"It was a huge part of my healing, that's just where I took myself," she told the news source. "If I was feeling down, if I was having a hard time, I'd practice or teach a class, and it took a lot of stress out of the whole process."

A number of studies support the use of yoga among breast cancer patients. One notable investigation, which was published in the journal Psycho-Oncology, found that women who practiced holistic health experienced improvements in mood, energy level, emotional well-being and overall quality of life.

As part of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, many yoga studios are offering special classes designed for breast cancer survivors.
