1. Shilpa Shetty

In the fitness world, Shilpa Shetty reigns supreme. The actress is living proof that one doesn’t need a fad diet to get fit and follow healthy living. Simply resting faith in yoga can solve all kinds of fitness dilemmas. She proved that 16 years ago, when she released her workout video Shilpa’s Yoga back in 2008. Owing to it, even a rigorous asana looks like a cakewalk when Shilpa is attempting it.  

2. Malaika Arora

Malaika Arora has been one of the most popular fitness enthusiasts in the B-Town. The Moving In With Malaika star has been inspiring the world with her healthy lifestyle for years now, so much so that the celebrity owns a chain of yoga studios in the country. Her undeniable consistency towards fitness is the biggest motivator for any beginner. TBH, Malaika’s consistency and never-give-up attitude towards exercise make the 50s look so young on her.

3. Kareena Kapoor

Kareena Kapoor has taught us how to bring perfection to the yoga mat. But it is the Suryanamaskar that is her utmost favourite pose which she has sworn by since years. In 2021, Kareena shared a video of herself doing 108 Suryanamaskars which went viral and showcased her dedication for the fitness form. Also called Sun Salutation, the holistic pose helps with weight management and flexibility.

4. Mandira Bedi

Calling Mandira Bedi a fitness trailblazer won’t be wrong. Be it on the beach, in a hotel room or simply in her living room, the actress loves to workout to such an extent that she can do it anywhere at any time. While the celebrity experiments with all workouts from running to calisthenics, yoga has been one that has had her hearts for years. A fitness enthusiast through and through, it’s a joy to see Mandira nail her poses with strength and vigour.

5. Vidya Malavade

Vidya Malavade is yet another star who swears by yoga. The actress has been teaching yoga through online tutorials for years now. Every time we are on the look out for some healthy living motivation, we stop by Vidya Malavade’s social media timeline, which beautifully documents her fitness journey.

6. Neha Dhupia

Neha Dhupia is yet another star who rests her faith in yoga. Besides the physical aspects of the exercise, what we love about Neha is that her yoga sessions are more mental health-driven. Just like this series of pictures, wherein she focused on “power and peace”. In the past, even her children have been included in the exercise session, turning her 

Wishing you a very happy International Yoga Day.
