Madonna to offer yoga training in her global gym chain

Madonna is all set up to open a chain of gyms around the world.

Called the Hard Candy Fitness Centers - named after the singer's 2008 album - the 10 new gyms are planned for Russia, Brazil, Argentina, and in European and Asian cities, according to a statement, reports the Telegraph.

The singer, 52, a keen workout, exercise and dance fan, has teamed up with 24 Hour Fitness founder Mark Mastrov. Her manager Guy Oseary is also a partner in the venture.

Hard Candy managing director Chris Dedicik said that the Hard Candy Fitness Centers would be "a one of a kind experience merging fitness with entertainment".

The gyms will provide private and group training in kick-boxing, yoga, capoeira, as well as weights and specially-designed programs.

"Madonna's touch will be everywhere," Mastrov said.

Madonna will officially launch the Mexico City gym on Nov. 29.
