View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shilpa Shetty Kundra (@theshilpashetty) If Shilpa Shetty's yoga video gave you that little push to roll out your mat, Here are five yoga asanas you can try adding to your routine 1. Suryanamaskar (Sun Salutation) This is a full-body stretch that wakes you up and gets the blood flowing. It is a mix of forward bends, backbends and planks. Great for warming up and improving flexibility. 2. Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) Lie on your stomach and lift your chest using your hands. It gives your spine a nice stretch and helps open up the chest. Also, a good one for posture. 3. Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose) Sit down, bring your feet together and flap your knees like wings. It loosens up the hips and inner thighs. Chill pose for when you want to wind down. 4. Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) Stretch one arm down to your foot and the other up to the sky. This one helps with balance and works your sides and legs. It is simple but effective. 5. Chakki Chalanasana (Grinding Pose) Sit with your legs stretched out, hold your hands together and move in big circles like you are churning something. It works your core and helps with digestion. Plus, it is fun. Disclaimer: This content including advice provides generic information only.

This achievement adds to Gujarat's growing list of global recognitions, as the state had previously secured two prestigious records -- in 2023, during the 9th International Yog Day in Surat, 1.50 lakh people performed Yog together, and on 1st January 2024, 50,000 participants performed Surya Namaskar simultaneously across 108 locations.

He emphasised that yoga is a science that unites the body, mind, and spirit with focus and balance. Through the regular practice of yoga, individuals can experience stress relief, enhanced immunity, and a more positive outlook on life. Moreover, yoga teaches self-discipline, restraint, and inner awakening. CM further mentioned that approximately 1.5 crore people across the state--from municipal corporations to village panchayats--participated in collective yoga sessions to mark the 11th International Yoga Day. He also made a special reference to the completion of 11 years of successful governance under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, highlighting the Prime Minister's efforts in promoting public health, from the widespread adoption of yoga to the implementation of the Ayushman Bharat scheme. He added that, thanks to the inspiration and persistent efforts of Prime Minister, India's ancient legacy of yoga and pranayama has now become an integral part of daily life for people across the globe. Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel stated that we must collectively resolve to build a 'Healthy Gujarat, Obesity-Free Gujarat' while honouring our cultural heritage and ancient traditions. He emphasised the need to transform Yog -- rooted in our ancient legacy -- into a mass movement as part of the broader vision of creating a developed, healthy, and prosperous Gujarat for Viksit Bharat in 2047. Health Minister Rushikesh Patel remarked that Pranayam has been deeply interwoven in our daily lives since ancient times. He stated that yoga and pranayama not only contribute to physical well-being but also keep the body energised. He further added that PM Modi has remarkably brought the ideals of yoga -- along with our literature and cultural heritage -- to global attention, establishing their value in promoting health. The Minister also highlighted that the world is now ready to embrace our ancient customs and traditions rooted in our rich history and culture. Let us honour our ancient heritage by making yoga a part of our daily lives and moving towards a healthier, balanced future.
