As the globe gears up for International Yoga Day 2022, we have a look at Bollywood celebrities that have inspired us with their Yoga posts and poses, along with videos. Talking of Karisma Kapoor, for this post, the actress wrote- "This Yoga Day i thought Chanel will not interrupt my Yoga regime....but here we are." This was this day last year
Sidharth Malhotra did the unthinkable, a Yoga pose underwater. Again, on this day last year, he wrote- "Check on yourself, as much as you check your Instagram!"
Doing a Yoga pose with ease, Sunny Leone shared a video last year and wrote- "Happy International yoga day!! By the way I’m working on my balance! Lol things can’t always look perfect."
Sara Ali Khan aces the tree pose and describes Yoga as such- "Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self."
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan too believes in Yoga even at the age of 80 and writes- "and Yoga .. the best friend of your body .."
In 2020, Taapsee Pannu shared a long note that read- "Like most of us, I always thought that yoga is just about twisting our body into complicated contortions and about being a human pretzel. Until @munmun.ganeriwal told me it isn’t. Sitting on the mat every day for few minutes, trying to tune in even when infinite thoughts might interfere, offers as much benefits to our body and mind. The act of meditating is actually classified as ‘Upasana Yoga’ in Yogic scriptures."
Hanging upside down, Siddhant Chaturvedi turned a poet and wrote- "Jisne bola Yoga se nahi hoga, kasam se life mein bohot Bhoga."
Soha Ali Khan, along with daughter Inaaya, could be seen doing Pranayam and wrote- 'Sometimes we all just need to find our centre."
Surrounded by a luscious backdrop and greenery, Preity Zinta was also clicked doing Pranayam and she wrote- "Yoga is the golden key that unlocks the door to peace, tranquility, and joy.” – B.K.S. Iyengar."
Milind Soman is called the Iron Man of India and defines fitness and health. He shared a post doing the Surya Namaskar with his wife and wrote- "Green is my favourite colour! We are trying to synch our different interpretations of Surya namaskar but I have been doing 30 suryanamaskars every morning which takes around 7min and feels fantastic! Best, low intensity, simple movement to improve and maintain basic strength, joint mobility, balance and focus."
For Kareena Kapoor Khan, 'The world is a yoga mat.' And she looks stunning in her outfit for this post
Malaika Arora could be the name behind Monday Motivation and the epitome of fitness and health. She doesn't need any occasion to share such fitness posts and videos. Here, she wrote- "Get on the mat and show up every day for yourself. For your physical health. For your mental health & For your emotional health &
For your spiritual health."
Alia Bhatt too took to Yoga during the lockdown and a little before that too. She thinks- "progress over perfection." Agree?
Shilpa Shetty has written a book on Yoga so how could she not be on the list? A long note describes her pose for the day. Read- "The body always needs a little bit of a push to follow a routine when it has worked without much of a break. Feeling a little sluggish or lazy may feel natural, but never give in to your body’s demands completely. Give it enough rest, but don’t let it become inactive. So, today I spent a few minutes practicing the Viparita Naukasana. It may not look like a very heavy routine, but it’s a power-packed one. It helps strengthen the lower back & pelvic region, shoulders & arms, and hips. It also improves the flexibility of the spine, massages abdominal organs, and improves digestion. However, if you’ve had an abdominal surgery recently or are pregnant, please avoid this asana."
Believe it or not, this picture was once Sophie Choudry's screen cover and could be even now. The actress writes- "Teaser. No seriously…that’s what this exercise is called!!"
Bollywood actor Neha Dhupia took to social media to share a glimpse of a cute yoga session with her kids, Mehr and Guriq and talked about how embracing motherhood was a 'fine balance'."They say #motherhood is all about finding that fine balance .... One way or the other we always manage to get there... ab chahe life ho ya yoga" captioned the actor on Instagram. She even thanked her yoga instructor for his 'patience'.
Bipasha Basu attempted the camel pose and wrote- "From over 5000 years, it has been part of our ancient scriptures and Indian culture. As the world joins to spread the message of Yoga, I will be live with all of you here on Instagram at 6 PM to chat about how I have been doing my yoga workouts from home all this while."
