Deepika loves yoga for its mental and physical health benefits

The mental health advocate also celebrated the self-care month last year and she posted on her snap of doing a yoga asana. She wrote, "It’s no secret that I love a good workout. And that I don’t work out to ‘look good’ but in fact to ‘feel fit’. Exercise has been part of my lifestyle for as long as I can remember." Referring to the pose, she added, "However, whenever I can’t fit in a workout, I practice *This Simple 5-Minute Routine. TBT, I practice this routine everyday! I find it especially useful after a long flight or even just to decompress." She event went on to list the benefits of legs-up-the-wall pose and shared that from supporting lymphatic and glymphatic systems to promoting the flow of oxygenated blood, it does a lot of things to keep both mental and physical health in check.

In fact, she also did a movie called Gehraiyaan where she played the role of a yoga instructor. To ace the role, Deepika went to great lengths to ace the yoga asanas. Celebrity yoga instructor Anshuka Parwani told Vogue that the actor nailed the headstand on the first go.

If you see Deepika's workout videos with a little bit of envy, it is alright. She does it like a pro even if she is new at things, and that's her flex. Clearly, we all can take a lot of inspiration from the actor.
