If Cynthia Watros could give advice to her multi-faceted and dynamic General Hospital alter-ego, Nina Reeves, it might be to start practicing yoga. The Daytime Emmy and Screen Actors Guild (SAG) award winner is a big devotee of the worldwide fitness routine.
“I’ve done all sorts of different exercise fads,” Watros tells Soap Hub, but she says that the one she connects to the most is yoga. “Yoga is beneficial not only just physically but I like what it does for me mentally. I have a very talkative mind. Doing yoga really softens those voices and helps me be a kinder person, which is always a good thing.”
Staying grounded has become even more important in light of the Coronavirus pandemic. “In these trying times, finding peace within ourselves and keeping a clear mind has never been more difficult,” Watros wrote on Instagram in a post that supported one of her favorite Yoga houses. “That is why it is so important that we support each other and see the light in each other. Yoga House is a small business in Pasadena that has been around since 1997 dedicated to bringing the community together through yoga and meditation.”
Watros has many posts on her social media account that encourage her followers to view the benefits of yoga. “Happy Saturday, everyone,” she posted in 2020. “Sending love and light to you all. Here’s a quick reminder to do a little stretch, take a few deep breathes, and enjoy the day.” (Check out the video below of Watros in action.)
In another post, the fan favorite wrote, “In a world filled with panic and chaos.. choose peace. Take care of yourself and loved ones, have fun, spread light, do things that make you smile, life is short.. enjoy it!”
Yoga may or may not look easy to the novice however, Watros says that it’s important to not let self-doubt stop a person from trying. “First time I did a handstand I cried,” she said on Instagram. “I cried because I didn’t let my fear win. Fear stops you from exploring a new way of doing things..believe in the power of you.”
