International Yoga Day: Shilpa Shetty Teaches Us The Simplest Yoga Asana. Take Notes

New Delhi: Shilpa Shetty has been religiously practicing yoga for several years now, proof of which are plenty on her Instagram account. She is indeed a yoga expert and has also released many videos of yoga asanas. This International Yoga Day, Shilpa Shetty teaches us to get rid of the complex asanas and perform pranayama instead for a healthy lifestyle. She has explained the benefits of pranayama with a video of herself and wrote, "Dear Instafam, pranayama: Prana means life (no life without breath), ayama means practice/control. So when you practice control over breath you will have control over your life and mind."

"This International Yoga day start with pranayama. Welcome the new you. Inhale the future, exhale the past. Enjoy the present. A big thankyou to Narendra Modi ji who leads and inspires by example and Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore for keeping the momentum going so passionately," Shilpa added.

Watch Shilpa perform pranayama. Take tips too.
