So, now let me tell you that the positive results which were shown in one’s physique by following the Ayurveda remedies and the ayurvedic diet have compelled them to do so. Hence, today in this post, we shall see some of the celebrities who follow Ayurveda and yoga regularly to maintain their health physically as well as mentally.
Christy Turlington
Knowing Christy Turlington to be an American model, you may think that she must have not even heard the words “yoga” and “Ayurveda”, isn’t it? If yes, then you are wrong. She is a regular practitioner of yoga and meditation. Moreover, she even uses ayurvedic medicines to improve her health. In an interview, she also said, “Yoga has been the best tool for managing stress and life’s challenges. My practice of it eased everything from my studies to my father’s death.”
Sonam Kapoor
Do you know how plumpy and fat Sonam Kapoor was before acting in Saawariya film? She was almost 90 kgs, and now you can see how slim and fit she looks! It is all because of the art yoga and power yoga that Sonam practised under the guidance of Bharat Thakur. Now, she is a freaky health person and practices Bikram yoga regularly. Yoga helped her immensely to reduce extra weight.
Shilpa Shetty
Shilpa is considered to have one of the best slim and trim bodies in Bollywood. Even after becoming a mother, she has not lost her glamorous look, and the entire credit goes to the yoga that she follows without fail. Shilpa has also released three CDs called “Shilpa’s Yoga” in which she is the yoga guru. In one of her quotes, she said, “Yoga did not just help me with my body, I became fitter from inside. It helped me to focus better. In the movies, we may look very glamorous and fit, but believe me, not many of us are fit. Yoga has helped me achieve that.”
Rani Mukherjee
Rani Mukherjee, a true Bengali beauty of the Indian cinema, is also a believer of yoga for maintaining her curves. She had shed 7 kilos through yoga for one of the films. She also said, “I did a combination of yoga and weight training, that worked for my body”.
Ricky Williams
When you think of Ricky Williams, who was a football player, can you even think of him being a student of Ayurveda at the California College of Ayurveda? No one. But he did study Ayurveda. When he was at the peak of his football career, he felt stressed and disturbed. So he decided to leave the sport with a positive attitude and began studying the ancient medical system. He also practised yoga, which helped him to get rid of marijuana addiction. In one of his quotes, he wrote, “I am now able to do things with my body, after an only minimal yoga practice, that I could never have imagined doing on the football field”.
Lara Dutta
Everyone knows that Lara has become a mother of a cute daughter Saira and that too by C section. And I must say that despite her pregnancy she has very well been able to get back her hot and slim figure. Lara says that a strict workout routine and yoga has helped her to regain her shape post pregnancy. She has also launched a yoga DVD for assisting pregnant women in restoring their toned physique.
Kareena Kapoor
Do you know how Kareena ended up to zero figure for the movie Tashan? It was all by yoga. She practised intensive Bikram yoga, which should do in a room that has more heat and humidity. In an interview, she said, “’I am completely into yoga. I think yoga has changed my life. My morning yoga practice that I do for 90 minutes every day is something that keeps me going. The day I don’t do it, I feel that my day doesn’t go well and I haven’t completed a task that I had to do”. As per her yoga instructor, she can do 50 Surya namaskars at a stretch and hold complicated poses for longer than 30 seconds.
