Dua Lipa is known for working hard at almost everything she does. The British Vogue cover star is always busy. She is learning Spanish, practicing dance routines, going to reformer Pilates classes, taking supplements, doing resistance training in the gym, and even running a book club. As a joke, people say she is collecting an endless number of passport stamps.
This careful attention to her mental and physical health, as well as her ongoing learning, is no accident. It is something she has deliberately built into her life. In her July cover interview with Gaby Wood, Dua Lipa said, “I turn 30 in August. I have been thinking about it a lot because your 20s are very confusing in how you see yourself and your body. Now, I feel like I have reached a better place. I have become better at taking care of myself, working out, and dancing. I feel more confident than ever. I feel strong and empowered in my body. I feel good when I share my energy with people on stage. All of this makes me proud of my body and how it supports me.”
Dua Lipa often shares her appreciation for her body on Instagram. She posts videos and photos showing parts of her health and wellness routines. Last week, the 29-year-old shared a video about a typical day on tour. In it, she shows her morning supplements, which include electrolytes and colostrum. She also attends a private yoga class, where she tries poses like sirsasana, or a headstand.
This weekend, she posted an Instagram story from an at-home yoga session. The instructor was Francesca Dinardo, who is also a Reiki practitioner. The video shows a bright, sunlit dance studio in her home. Dua Lipa’s caption read “yoga @ home” and showed three black yoga mats along with a beautiful bunch of pink flowers.
It is not clear if Dua Lipa has fully mastered the headstand yet. However, we know that yoga is an important part of her workout routine. She also includes Pilates, weight training, and dance rehearsals. This mix of muscle-building, exercises that support bone strength, and heart-pumping cardio explains why she thinks of herself as an athlete.
