When it comes to fitness, Shilpa Shetty needs no special introduction. The diva is among the fittest moms in B-town and often gives workout motivation to her fans through social media. From Yoga to gym and pilates, the Dhadkan actress does it all to keep her healthy and fit. Now, after enjoying sweet delicacies during Diwali celebrations, the actress is back to her workout routine.
Recently, the 49-year-old actress dropped a video on Instagram that featured her doing yoga along with her cute workout partner, her daughter Samisha. “The balancing act, Mommy – Daughter Yoga time (Goal: Burning those Diwali calories),” the video caption read.
The Mom and Daughter’s yoga session included Surya Namaskar which is a sequence of twelve Yoga poses that are performed in a flowing manner to generate a smooth flow of movement. She began with Pranamasana (Prayer Pose), followed by Ashwa Sanchalanasana (Equestrian Pose), Dandasana (Plank Pose), Ashtanga Namaskara (Eight-Limbed Pose), Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) and lastly performed the Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog), before returning to complete the cycle.
Surya Namaskar, also known as the sun salutation has many benefits for the body and mind. Let us explore a few of them:
Weight Loss
If you’re on a weight loss journey, adding Surya Namaskar to your workout regime could be beneficial. It is believed that a single round of Surya Namaskar can burn about 13.9 calories, while a full session of 12 repeats can burn roughly 416 calories. Additionally, it also boosts metabolism and improves digestion.
Improves Strength
It is a full-body practice that increases flexibility, strength and stamina. This yoga sequence includes several postures and breathing techniques and stretches your muscles, making you more flexible and increasing your physical strength.
Improves Blood Circulation
Another benefit of performing Surya Namaskar is that it promotes healthy blood circulation and removes toxins and other waste products from the body.
Good for mental health
One of the major reasons why everyone must perform Surya Namaskar is that it is good for your mental health. It can help reduce stress, and anxiety and releases endorphins in your body that can help improve overall mood.
Improved Posture and Alignment
It helps to improve your body posture and alignment. Surya Namaskar trains your body to maintain a straight and balanced posture that not only prevents backaches but also keeps your spine healthy.
Initially, it is advised to perform Surya Namaskar under the supervision of a Yoga expert to avoid any injuries.
