Sharing a picture of herself in Paschimottanasana yoga posture, Malaika motivated fans and wrote, “Namaste Everyone!Hope you all enjoyed the festive weekend to the fullest and spend time with friends and family. A festival of lights, love, happiness and so many delicacies to binge on.”
Talking about the benefits of the yoga pose, she added, “This week’s #MalaikasMoveOfTheWeek will help you burn those extra Diwali calories – Paschimottanasana with a brick, which is also known as Seated Forward Bend. This pose is great for your core strength, stimulating digestion, and strengthening the back. It will also help you reduce anxiety and feel relaxed. Using a brick will level up the pose, making it more effective.”
Further helping everyone to try the yoga in simple steps, she shared a guide that read, “1) Place the brick on the lower side of your feet and sit in Dandasana with your spine straight. 2) Breathe in and raise your arms straight over your head, reaching toward the ceiling. 3) Breathe out and bend forward trying to reach the brick with spine straight. 4) Now, hold the brick or your toes. Try to be in this pose for as long as possible. 5) Whenever you are ready, inhale and come up with your hands raising above your head. 6) Exhale and bring your arms down. 7) Repeat this for 5 times.”
Here’s how it looks like:
