The Duchess of Sussex is a firm believer in keeping her mind and body healthy and has several health commandments that she lives by. Daughter to Doria Ragland, a former yoga teacher, Meghan has often spoken about the benefits of yoga and is even reported to have had a yoga studio built into Frogmore Cottage, the Windsor residence where she previously lived with husband Prince Harry and baby son Archie Harrison.
