Dua Lipa’s Ibiza Party Trick Is a Ridiculously Hard Yoga Pose

Where Dua Lipa goes, yoga tends to follow. Even, if you can believe it, when where she goes happens to be a paddleboard floating in the sea surround the Balearic Islands.

To celebrate her forthcoming 30th birthday, Lipa has been in Ibiza with her now-not-so-sunburned fiancé Callum Turner and a crew of their closest friends and family. The trip to the island, so far, has included a seafood lunch at the exclusive, celebrity-favorite Jondal beach club, where tables were piled high with oysters, langoustines, and a chocolate, cherry, summer berries birthday cake for Lipa. Later, the crew all went to dance the night away at superclub DC10.

All part of the fun? Splashing about in a yacht-filled harbour and attempting gravity-defying yoga poses at the same time. This vacation contains multitudes: good food, partying with pals ’til dawn, custom Jacquemus, and core-strengthening exercises.

Spotted doing a headstand (that’s “sirsasana” in Sanskrit) in a sparkly, double-layered burgundy and crystal bikini from Oséree, the pop star appeared just as proficient on a paddleboard as she is in a regular studio. As one follower put it in the comments: “Has she ever had a bad day?”

Lipa’s skill is ridiculously impressive, but not all that surprising. On tour, she’s documented how she makes time for yoga first thing in the morning—after she’s taken her supplement cocktail, mind you. At home, she’s shared snaps of yoga mats laid out for a weekend group class, too. Many of her stage outfits tend to expose her rock solid abs, and with a powerhouse voice like that, you can expect that some serious core work is going on behind the scenes.

While we may not be able to gift you with the comparable core strength of Dua Lipa at the peak of her powers in Leo season, we can vouch for a solid yoga routine to benefit everything from your cortisol levels to your digestion. Will you be boat posing, doing the crow, or headstanding a la Dua this training season?
