While most of us would be taking in the scenery on a white sand beach then perhaps catching some rays before taking a dip in the glistening clear ocean… Miley Cyrus uses her holiday time to give thanks for all her blessings, through yoga.

The former Disney star is well-known for her love of the ancient Indian practice and it seems doesn’t even take a break from her routine while on holiday.

While others relaxed on the tropical beach in Costa Rica 20-year-old Miley showed just how beneficial yoga really is by performing her breathtaking routine as the sun rose.
