International Yoga Day 2023: Everyone from Shilpa Shetty to Alia Bhatt integrates yoga into their fitness program.
On the 21st of June, the world celebrates International Yoga Day. Yoga is a series of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines that aim to balance the mind, body, and soul for those who are unfamiliar with the term. While the origins of yoga may be traced back to ancient India, yoga is now extensively performed all over the world, with a few modifications and improvements. So, who is into Yoga in B-town?
From Alia Bhatt to Shilpa Shetty, here is our list of celebs that include this ancient practice in their exercises and provide regular updates on social media about their connected fitness objectives. In preparation for the day that commemorates this ancient practice, we investigate their motivations for undertaking the exercise.
Shilpa Shetty is well-known for being one of the country’s fittest actresses. She frequently posts highlights from yoga sessions and sets fitness objectives for followers to track. ‘Practising the Prasarita Padottanasana Pratirupam stretches the hamstrings, calves, glutes, and lower back,’ she captioned a post. It also helps with hip joint flexibility. Giving your body a much-needed stretch early in the day can revitalize you. People with slip-disc, high blood pressure, vertigo, or headaches should avoid this stance. Don’t forget to remix it with me if you attempt it!
Malaika Arora is yet another Bollywood actress that has a strong connection to Yoga. She not only swears by Yoga as a physical activity for herself, but she is also a yoga trainer who encourages her admirers to practice it. It’s no longer a mystery how she stays so fit. In one of her Yoga videos, she was shown perfecting a yoga stance. ‘The stance I’m doing is a version of a strong yoga asana, Chakki Chalanasana,’ she captioned it. This posture tones and develops the abdominal muscles, enhances mental clarity, and reduces stress.

Kareena Kapoor is also well-known for her love of exercise, particularly yoga. She periodically shares her fitness videos and videos with her admirers. Her captions on her photos explain how she maintains her yoga exercise program. “When your yoga instructor follows you on Instagram, you know it’s time to say goodbye to the biryani and halwa.”
Alia Bhatt periodically uploads videos of her home yoga practices, and there are many to choose from. The videos are without a doubt charming and motivate her admirers to participate as well. Here’s one of hers from two years ago wishing her admirers a Happy Yoga Day.
We all know how Anushka Sharma enjoys being fit and works out on a daily basis. Yoga is so important to the actress that she did it during her pregnancy, under the supervision of her yoga instructor, of course. As yoga is an important part of her life, she says in her caption, “My doctor advised that I can do all such asanas that I was doing before I was pregnant (after a certain stage) barring twists and extreme forward bends, but of course with the proper and required support.”
To be extra safe, I utilized the wall for support and my very capable husband to help me balance during Shirshasana, which I have been performing for many years. This was also done under the supervision of my yoga instructor @eefa_shrof, who was practically present during the practice. “I’m so glad I was able to keep practicing during my pregnancy.”
Shamita Shetty, like her sister, is a yoga aficionado who is frequently seen working out alone or with Shilpa. She shared her huge ‘why’ for Yoga in one of the blogs. ‘Mobility is the capacity of a joint or a group of joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments to move actively across a full range of motion without resistance, constraint, or discomfort. It’s called ‘Physical Independence.’
Rakul Preet Sigh is another well-known Yoga enthusiast. Her Yoga Trainer released a video with this message, revealing how important Yoga is to Rakul. “A girl is lucky to have a @rakulpreet by her side.” Happy birthday, my love and one of my biggest inspirations; you are a genuine star. I can’t wait to FLOW with you again.”
