    The ex of 70-year-old Dennis Quaid – who plays Ronald Reagan in a new film – has been staying in top shape with daily yoga sessions that have kept her not just slim but limber.

    The 62-year-old star, who used to live in New York City, has been spending more time in California lately.

    The outing comes just a week after the Top Gun actress opened up about how she’s felt “liberated” since turning 60 a few years ago.

    ‘I appreciate my years, I say that seriously. ‘I appreciate my age. For me now it is more important to say clearly what you think, instead of trying to please others and trying to make everyone happy. ‘ she said IO Donna.

    “I almost feel liberated because I’ve said certain things and made observations about love and relationships,” she added.

    ‘And because you try to be honest. I can finally look back and be in the present at the same time,” Ryan continued.

    Last year she returned to the big screen in What Happens Later, her first film in eight years, in which she explained why she needed a break.

    ‘I needed different experiences, to meet people outside the film industry. For this reason, I moved to New York, raised my daughter Daisy and started traveling, especially to faraway countries,” she said.

    Ryan said stepping away from the spotlight helped her see things more clearly while learning to balance her career and family.

    ‘If you are up to your neck in the ‘bubble of fame’, you cannot suddenly free yourself from it, you will somehow always remain lost in the labyrinth of fame.

    ‘But you know what? “I had enough, I’m glad I made that choice and left that world: I became a better and more interesting person,” she ended.
