Ricky Martin - Personal Life

Personal Life

Martin was raised Catholic, but says he is open to all sorts of religious beliefs, especially the Buddhist philosophy, although he does not identify as a Buddhist. He feels that subscribing to a specific religion can "limit" an individual in certain aspects, and noted in 2006, "I really like the Buddhist philosophy but that doesn’t mean that I am of the religion. If I subscribe to Buddhism, I can’t be of anything else. They limit to you in many aspects, and I am not going to follow those rules." Martin began practicing Kriya yoga after a trip to Thailand in 1997.

He enjoys surfing, skydiving, and vacationing in South Asian countries including India and Nepal.
