Gwyneth Paltrow Is Teaching People How to Yawn with Goop

Gwyneth Paltrow poses for a photo with Net-a-Porter exec Sarah Ruston while attending a dinner in the Hamptons on Thursday (July 16) at a private residence in Amagansett, N.Y.

Also in attendance were Gwyneth‘s ex Chris Martin (not pictured), Molly Sims, Jessica Seinfeld, and others.

In a new blog post on her website, goop, Gwyneth teachers her readers about why yawning is important.

“The other night at a dinner with Michael Lear, a wonderful yogi and important quarterback for mindfulness and meditation in this country, he caught, out of the corner of his very alert eye, the suppression of a yawn,” Gwyneth wrote in the piece. “‘Please yawn,’ he explained. ‘Really give into it, as it’s the body’s primary way to release and stretch the jaw and neck muscles after a long day of work and conversation.’”

Gwyneth was told that yawning is a “very important mechanism for releasing stress. It feels good for a reason: Trust that your body knows how to calibrate itself.”
