Bond franchise's new Moneypenny does yoga for stress management in the workplace

When you think about the character of Moneypenny from the James Bond movie franchise, you may envision a petite blond woman with glasses and sensible clothing. After all, the last three actresses to play the role have fit that description.

This time, however, Hollywood is shaking it up a bit. British beauty Naomie Harris will be the first African-American woman to play Moneypenny to Daniel Craig's Bond, and she prepared well for the role. According to the Daily Mail, Harris – who was raised by a single mother and bullied when she was in school – did everything in her power to be both emotionally and physically ready to take on the enduring character.

One of the mainstays of her preparation regimen? The holistic regimen of yoga, which has helped millions of Americans improve stress management in the workplace. In fact, the program is so calming that many people include it among other relaxation techniques before bed.

"I've been doing yoga three times a week to get into shape," Harris told the news source. "I've [also] been stunt driving and firing machine guns, which I've discovered I have a real taste for."

Whether you're about to suit up as a Bond babe or simply want to improve your well-being, yoga may be a useful addition to your daily routine.
