Naomi Watts sure takes good care of herself.
The 54-year-old Hollywood siren was seen glowing as she left a yoga class in New York City on Thursday afternoon.
The wife of Billy Crudup was bundled up in an ivory and dark blue button-down cardigan as she added leggings and sneakers with her flaxen hair pulled back.
Her turquoise green yoga mat was rolled up and worn crossbody style as she modeled designer glasses with ivory frames.
This sighting comes the day after she attended the Women’s Wear Daily Beauty and Wellness forum where Watts talked about aging.

Watts sat down with Jenny B. Fine in conversation about healthy aging and how her brand Stripes aims to destigmatize the current narrative around menopausal health.
Watts shared her personal story of learning that she was close to menopause at age 36, and underscored that ‘a woman’s story matters at every age.’
Attendees and speakers included Watts, Dr. Barbara Sturm, Ashley Tisdale, Tonya Lewis Lee, Dr. Will Cole, Emma Heming Willis, Tai Beauchamp, and more.
An inspiring roster of industry players both established and emerging took the stage, including Equinox Group, Ulta Beauty, Beekman 1802, Brown Girl Jane, Genexa, Care/Of, Movita, Ahara, Mad Rabbit, Deon Libra, Wthn, and more.
‘As wellness continues to be a major focus of the beauty conversation for the industry and consumers, we are excited to be on the front line of groundbreaking innovation in the space with many of our existing partners, as well as new faces breaking into the category,’ said Amanda Smith, President of Fairchild Media Group.
‘WWD’s commitment to shining a light on this thriving community and helping these brands grow is central to the FMG mission, and I’m looking forward to the endless possibilities that represents.’

This comes after Watts said she had ‘great sex’ with husband Billy Crudup after showing him the estrogen patches she was wearing as she dealt with early menopause.
The 21 Grams actress got hitched to Watchmen star Billy, 55, on 9 June in a low-key ceremony and Naomi said despite them now enjoying great romps, she was crippled by nerves when they started dating as she thought her patches would be a turn off for the actor.
She said at an event called ‘Unlocking Intimacy: Navigating Passion in Midlife’ held in the Canoe Place Inn and Cottages in Hampton Bays in August: ‘If you can talk to your partner, if you can be honest and have a really authentic conversation and take away the awkwardness… they will be empathetic and that’s hot.
‘I was nervous that my new lover was going to see (my menopause oestrogen patches.)
‘I went into the bathroom just before it would start and I’d be in there (scrubbing it off) and then I’d come out.
‘And my gorgeous partner said, “Are you OK? Is everything OK?”‘

Naomi went through menopause when she was in her 30s, and went on to credit Billy for knowing ‘how to behave’ once she ‘brought honesty into the room despite how awkward and hard’ it felt talking about the impact of her condition.
She said: ‘He knew what cues to follow. He was 100 per cent empathetic and I can safely say we went on to have, you know, pretty great sex that night.’
Naomi also said it was important for her to keep ‘leaning into’ her current phase of life, and acknowledge ‘a lot of women are horny at this age’.
When asked at the event what her favourite sex position is, Naomi said: ‘On top, underneath! Right now I’m not fussy.’
