Shilpa Shetty Performs Twisted Tiger Pose; Here Is Why You Should Do It Too

Shilpa Shetty is all about strength, balance and wellness.  She has been inspiring people for years with her dedication to yoga, strength training, and overall wellness. Today, she dropped a new Instagram video to kickstart our Monday with some motivation. In the video, Shilpa demonstrates the Twisted Tiger Pose, also known as Parivrtta Vyaghrasana. She starts on all fours, keeping her knees and shoulders aligned. Then, she steps her left foot out to the side, aligns it with the right knee, and places her right palm on the left tibia.

Next, the actress raises her left hand, twisting her shoulders gently. Shilpa Shetty bends the right knee, pulls the heel to the buttock, and places the left palm on the right instep – all while keeping her shoulders relaxed and away from the ears. In her caption, Shilpa Shetty wrote, “Every small twist makes a big shift in energy.”
