Kino MacGregor is doing yoga in Bali in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the yoga influencer shows off her amazing (and flexible!) body in yoga gear as she demonstrates some moves with her partner Tim Feldmann and announces an upcoming yoga retreat in Bali. “Woow🔥👏,” commented one of her followers. “Such a lovely couple 😍,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Eat for Your Dosha
On the topic of food, Kino recommends identifying your dosha, as “it can be useful to notice which foods are helpful or harmful to your constitution,” she writes in a post. “Today’s focus is on Kapha-balancing. If you want to keep your Kapha balanced, try eating more whole foods in regular meals with little to no snacking, minimal alcohol and few sweets. Avoid overly-processed meals heavy with artificial substances and oils. Since Kapha is easily cooled, avoid overdoing it with raw fruits and veggies and go for warm food, especially during the winter months. Pungent, bitter and astringent tastes and even spicy foods can work well with Kapha. Minimize overly sweet, sour or salty foods.”
Early Riser

When I’m doing my normal practice in my normal life, I usually wake up between 6 and 8 AM. This morning I woke up at 5:30! To be honest, I like to sleep in… if it weren’t for yoga I would be sleeping in. It absolutely takes a lot of effort to wake up early.”
Meditation
Kino gets her zen on in the morning. “Back home, a typical day for me is I get up, and the first thing that happens is my mind is really active in the morning in a good way, so I will get up and make tea, and I will do some writing projects for an hour. Then I’ll do my meditation, my asana practice, and then after that I usually have a lot of meetings and business work to do for new projects that I’m launching. If I teach at home it’s usually for an intensive, then that’s a different schedule,” she says.
Handstands Are Her Favorite Pose
What is Kino’s favorite asana/yoga pose? “I always love handstands. I love all of the asanas but handstands are always super fun because they were so difficult for me – I was so bad at them!” she says. “For me, everything is about strength. I’m just constantly working on how can I be stronger, how can I get more strength, whether it’s with the abs, with the core, or mentally, emotionally. I’m always working on being stronger.”
Nourishing Diet
Kino is big green juices amongst other things. “I love fruits, I love exotic fruits and I think they’re just amazing. When I travel in Southeast Asia, I love to eat durian, I think that’s amazing,” she says. “On a cold day, my favorite thing to eat would be vegetarian ramen. I’m vegetarian, and on a cold day, a really good ramen just makes me so happy.” She also cooks. “I prepare things more than I make a big meal. I’m not someone to cook a big, 5-course meal but I do things that are fast and easy within our lifestyle.”
