World Yoga Day: Shilpa Shetty encourages people to practice Yoga: “Devote at least 10 minutes of your day"

Shilpa Shetty Kundra's love for Yoga is well-known. From encouraging people to opt for a healthy lifestyle to posting Yoga tips on her social media account, the fitness enthusiast leaves no opportunity to inspire people. 

On the occasion of International Yoga Day, the fitspiration made an impassioned appeal to everyone to make Yoga an integral part of their daily life. 

Talking about the advantages and importance of the same, Shilpa said, 

"Yoga is not only about having physical strength, but it is also acquiring mental fitness and balance. Each pose helps you concentrate and preserve energy that is vital in today's time. If anything, this Virus has taught us the importance of having a healthy lifestyle. Devote at least 10 minutes of your day to your body and mind to witness the miracle it can bring to your life."

Taking to her Instagram handle, Shilpa shared a video that featured her performing the Bhramari Pranayama. "BREATHE... it's THE most important function that the body performs. Breathing right helps provide oxygen to the organs to perform all the crucial processes, from cognition to digestion to strengthening the immune system. So on World Yoga Day, let's start by practicing the Bhramari Pranayama," she wrote.

She also shared the health benefits of the asana, and informed, "It helps generate up to 15 per cent more nitric oxide through the vibrations of the humming sound, Aum. This in turn helps early recovery and healing from Covid-19. Spare a few minutes to focus on your breathing today with the Bhramari Pranayama. It relaxes the mind and lowers stress, while improving concentration and alleviating anxiety. Tag 3 friends who MUST start their day by breathing right... #InternationalYogaDay #WorldYogaDay."
