The seventh International Yoga Day is being celebrated in 190 countries across the globe on Monday. The day is celebrated to spread awareness about the importance and effects of yoga on the health of the people. The theme for this year is 'Yoga for wellness'. And on the occasion of International Day of Yoga, former Miss India and Bollywood actress Pooja Batra started her day with a perfect Tripod Headstand.
Pooja celebrated International Yoga Day today (June 21) in the most perfect way possible which will definitely leave her fans and followers inspired.
Taking to her social media page early in the morning, Pooja Batra shared a video of herself doing the Tripod Headstand or the Ardha Salamba Sirsasana. Wearing a racer-back mint green sports bra with calf-length training tights of the same colour Pooja had tied her tresses into a sleek bun to make the workout fuss-free.
She wrote in caption. “Yoga is a light, which once lit, will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter the flame. ~ BKS Iyengar #happyinternationalyogaday #yogawithpoojabatra #tripodheadstand,” she wrote.
Pooja added her own twist to the difficult yoga asan as she started with the Tripod Headstand for a few seconds, she then moved on to do a full-fledged headstand. After a few moments, she mixed it up by opening her legs wide in the air and then joining both feet in a namaste pose. Watch below:
Meanwhile a host of Bollywood celebs including Kareena Kapoor, Shilpa Shetty, Amitabh Bachchan and many more took to their social media to share pictures and videos of themselves practicing yoga while sharing the benefits.
