Bollywood celebs suggest opting for yoga to help strengthen mind and body during Covid-19 pandemic

Now that the entire world is in a state of panic due to the dreaded coronavirus pandemic, people are looking for ways to reduce the stress they feel about the entire situation. While following a proper schedule and trying to stay positive can help, Bollywood celebs are now suggesting that people opt for yoga to help strengthen their mind and body during these trying times. And a few of them are also opting for yoga to help stay positive. Here's what the celebs have to say.

“I’m otherwise a very hyper person and yoga keeps me calm. I’m not saying high-intensity workout isn’t necessary. I also do it, but nothing helps like yoga. When you’re focused and holding a position, you tend to forget the nightmares,” says Esha Gupta who has been practising yoga for almost 6 years now.

Actress Pooja Banerjee also opened up about how yoga helped her recuperate from a dance-related injury. “Getting back to anything strenuous wasn’t the right thing to do at that time and I’ve never been a gym person anyway. But post the injury, agility was needed, and yoga came to the rescue. Yoga strengthens every part of the body and muscle and yet it offers immense relaxation,” she said.

Actress Kavita Kaushik says, “Yoga helps you explore your best potential. This ancient form of exercise has been helping in curing so many health and mental ailments since so long. Simple meditation and breathing exercises can do wonders.”

Well, now that you're at home and have all this time on your hands, why not give yoga a try and see if it works for you? Stay tuned for more updates.
