Stressing on the important of keeping the muscles and joints flexible, she added, "It's important to keep the muscles and joints flexible & agile, while tending to our immunity. So, this morning, I decided to make the routine a little tougher for myself. I chose to do the Gatyatmak Utthita Padahastasana, leading to Naukasana."
"This flow helps build core strength, stretches the hamstring, tones the abs muscles, and strengthens the muscles of the arms, shoulders, & thighs. Do try this flow, but remember to only stretch as much as your body permits. Don't force anything," Shilpa explained.
She concluded with a reminder: "Stay safe, maintain social distance, and please mask up when you step out (if you have to)."
