International Yoga Day 2025: Take Notes About Fitness From Shilpa Shetty Kundra

Shilpa Shetty Kundra has been one of the most ardent practitioners of yoga in Bollywood. She has mastered the fitness form over the years. The actress earlier launched a holistic health app that caters to yoga, exercise, diet programs and immunity. Additionally, she also hosted a show called Shape of You. Frequently, Shilpa takes to her social media handle to share inspiring glimpses from her workout routine and attributes yoga to her toned physique and glowing skin. On International Day of Yoga, we are summing up all the yoga lessons to learn from Shilpa Shetty Kundra.

Shilpa Shetty believes that while it may be natural for the body to feel sluggish, we should never give in to its demands completely. It is important to give your body enough rest, but we must not make it inactive. She once revealed that she practices Viparita Naukasana, positions that do not look like a heavy routine but are power-packed. These positions strengthen the lower back, pelvic region, shoulders, arms, and hips.

Some time back, she took to social media to share a video showing her taking the mobility challenge. She wrote, “Looks like rest but it’s a mobility test This one’s a challenge, especially for men. It’s harder than it looks! Challenge thrown to you: Can you get up without using your hands?”

She starts the day with yoga as it sets the tone for the rest of the day. A couple of years back, Shilpa Shetty took to her Instagram to share, “Yoga adds years to your life and life to your years.” She mentioned that she believes this saying to be very accurate. She shared that she does the Eka pada Utkatasana (one-legged chair pose) and goes into Anjaneyasana (low lunge). These positions increase core strength and body balance while also strengthening the quadriceps and glutes.

She also shared another workout video earlier this year where she showed a couple of exercises required for strengthening the core and boosting posture. She revealed that the workout also improves balance and stability and enhances athletic performance and everyday movements. Watch it here:

The actress practices a different combination of asanas that focus on mind, body, and soul. She thinks that any routine can become boring when monotony sets in, which is why experimenting with something new helps. Shilpa also says that yoga prepares her mind, body and soul for a fantastic day ahead. She performs the Vrikshasana, followed by the Virabhadrasana III pose and also the Natrajasana pose. These poses strengthened her ankle joints, hips and legs while also improving balance, posture & flexibility, concentration & focus and mind-body coordination.

Furthermore, Shilpa also believes that the simplest of things can be the most beneficial. She cites the example of the Suryanamaskara, which may seem rather easy but has an effect on the entire body. Her variation, the Dynamic Suryanamaskara, increases shoulders and core strength, improves blood circulation and strengthens the erector spine muscles.

Shilpa Shetty sure knows what she is doing and does not mind imparting her wisdom to others.
