Shilpa Shetty is a true-blue fitness enthusiast. She works out regularly and follows a healthy diet, inspiring fans to follow her suit. Besides sweating it out at the gym, the 50-year-old swears by yoga, showcasing impeccable balance, flexibility and strength. Yoga connects our mind with our body. Meanwhile, performing stretches melts away the stiffness, helping us move more freely and feel lighter. In her latest Instagram entry, Shilpa has emphasised the power of balance by executing a fairly challenging asana.
The video opens to Shilpa Shetty balancing her body on her toes as her heels touch each other. The actress maintains an upright posture, placing her palms on her knees. Slowly, she brings her hands to the centre and folds them together. After a few seconds, she raises her hands above her head and stays in that position for some time, showcasing impeccable balance and agility. According to her, “balance is a muscle” and hence it's important to “train it”.

Stimulates the Muladhara (root) chakra, grounding and stabilising the mind.
