At 38, Liu Yifei – often hailed as the “fairy sister” of Chinese entertainment – continues to captivate audiences not only with her ethereal beauty but also with her serene, youthful vitality. His secret? A consistent, balanced fitness routine rooted in mindfulness rather than intensity.
“I don’t want exercise to become a source of pressure. When the body and mind are in harmony, beauty comes naturally.” Liu once shared.
According to ELLE China, the actress starts each morning with aerial yoga, a graceful blend of traditional yoga and hanging acrobatics. The practice improves flexibility, strengthens the core and stimulates lymphatic flow, helping to maintain glowing skin and a slim, sculpted figure.
“Aerial yoga helps the body burn energy naturally without straining the joints,” explains Dr. Zhang Wen of the Shanghai Health & Recovery Center. “Just 30 minutes a day can lift your mood, reduce belly fat, and improve your sleep quality.”
In addition to yoga, Liu Yifei engages in a short plank routine every evening. He once wrote this on social media “five minutes of planking a day is enough to warm up the body and increase energy.”
Even after long work days, he often goes to the gym for light workouts – push-ups, sit-ups or gentle cardio exercises – to relax and release tension.
Liu Yifei’s approach to fitness is refreshingly realistic: no extreme diets, no punishing regimes. Instead, prioritize consistency, emotional balance, and self-care.
Her radiant appearance at a recent Vogue event in October 2025 has become the latest proof that a calm and stable lifestyle can be as powerful as any luxury skincare product.
To millions of fans across Asia, Liu Yifei’s image represents more than just beauty: she embodies harmony, resilience and quiet confidence.
Born in 1987 in Wuhan, China, Liu Yifei graduated from the Beijing Film Academy and rose to fame with roles in classics such as The return of the Condor heroes and Disney’s live-action Mulan. In addition to acting, she is admired for her introverted nature, minimal social media presence, and devotion to well-being and inner peace.
With her graceful bearing and timeless charm, Liu Yifei remains the supreme symbol of balance, a reminder that true elegance comes from living with delicacy and tenacity.
