Yoga is a great practice for both the body and the mind, it offers peace and mindfulness to its lovers and helps them get through daily stress. Yoga is more popular among our Bollywood stars, on Yoga day many B-town celebs shared their picture on social media while performing Yoga. Even in the coronavirus lockdown, celebs are inspiring their fans to do Yoga and inspiring them to maintain physical as well as mental health. Just to keep themself fit and healthy celebrities have been ardently practising yoga. On Sunday several celebrities such as Malaika Arora, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, and others have shared their favourite Yoga poses on Instagram.

On Sunday, Taapsee Pannu shared her picture on Instagram while doing Yogasan at her balcony and wrote, "Like most of us, I always thought that yoga is just about twisting our body into complicated contortions and about being a human pretzel. Until @munmun.ganeriwal told me it isn't. Sitting on the mat every day for a few minutes, trying to tune in even when infinite thoughts might interfere, offers as many benefits to our body and mind. The act of meditating is actually classified as 'Upasana Yoga' in Yogic scriptures." She further adds, "An incredible stroke of luck is that International Yoga Day today coincides with the Solar Eclipse. An eclipse is one of the best time to deepen our spiritual practice, so make sure you meditate today for few minutes at least. If you are thinking how to start .... @munmun.ganeriwal says, `the best way to begin a meditation practice is to begin!` #InternationalYogaDay2020". Check out her post here-

Asato Maa Sad-Gamaya | Tamaso Maa Jyotir-Gamaya | Mrityor Maa Amritam Gamaya | Om Shanti Shanti Shanti hi || Meaning: • Keep me not in the Phenomenal World of Unreality, but make me go towards the Reality of Eternal Self, • Keep me not in the Ignorant State of Darkness, but make me go towards the Light of Spiritual Knowledge, • Keep me not in the World of Mortality, but make me go towards the World of Immortality of Self-Realization, • Om, Peace, Peace, Peace. Wishing you all a very Happy International Yoga Day. Today I've shared a personal ritual with you all. I've been chanting the Shanti Mantra after every yoga session, because it helps me tell the Universe, our guiding force in nature... that I surrender to the will of nature. I accept that I don't know it all and I want to be drawn towards a better existence. I understand how limited my knowledge is of my own being and ask to be connected to all elements of nature in the way that humans were meant to be. Today, I pledge to work on bettering myself every day, so I can be of service to all in this lifetime, how I was intended to be. When this acceptance comes from within, you start realizing the deeper meaning of life. Shared the mantra here along with its meaning. Hoping we can all adopt and follow it as a way of life. With Gratitude Shilpa Shetty Kundra . . #InternationalYogaDay #SwasthRahoMastRaho #YogaSeHiHoga #YogisOfInstagram #StayHealthyStayHappy #WorkoutAtHome #YogaAtHome

TRUE YOGA is not about the shape of your body but the SHAPE of your LIFE , it's not about touching your toes but what you learn on the way down .You can't always control what goes on outside but you can control what goes on inside. Sink into the stillness and celebrate this union of mind , body and soul to self reflect and vibrate at the highest frequency of life at all times ❤️ 🧘‍♀️ #happyinternationalyogaday and thankuuuuuu my soul sista @anshukayoga for making yoga my way of life ❤️❤️

Making yoga and meditation a part of my daily routine has been the best gift i could give my self. It has helped improve awareness of mind and body and made me more attuned with myself. I feel centred, focussed and strong. The power of the breath and the benefits of breathing techniques are many, but the most important to me has been the balance breathing has given me. Thank you @abhisheksharmayogafitness for helping me deepen my understanding and growth 🙏🏻 ✨ I practice 10 counts of 'Bhramari Pranaayama' a breathing technique everyday along with a routine that calms my nervous system. Benefits of Bhramari also known as the humming bee breath: - Calms and quiets the mind - Releases cerebral tension - Stimulates the pineal and pituitary glands, supporting their proper functioning - Soothes the nerves - Relieves stress and anxiety - Dissipates anger #InternationalYogaDay
