Yoga is recommended by multiple experts to be practised on a daily basis. Yoga helps in healing of the body and the mind and de-stressing the body. Yoga, as stated by medical and fitness experts, comes with multiple health benefits as well. It helps in strengthening the muscles and stretching of the body. With the work from home culture becoming a norm in our regular lives, we hardly get to move around. We spend most of our day on a couch or a chair, with our laptops in front of us. This further leads to stiffness of muscles and back pain. With yoga, however, this is curable. Anshuka Parwani, fitness trainer to several Bollywood celebrities including Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor, is known for sharing health-related tips and tricks with a dash of yoga asanas on her Instagram profile on a regular basis. Be it speaking of the benefits of yoga asanas or the diet to follow to get a healthier body, Anshuka’s Instagram profile is replete with such helpful information.
