Shilpa Shetty shared a yoga video on Monday, introducing a slow and focused posture called Supta Vajrasana, or Reclining Thunderbolt Pose. The actress explained that the benefits of the pose extend beyond stretching the body, highlighting its potential to improve flexibility, breathing and digestion.
In the video, Shilpa demonstrates the transition from Vajrasana to the reclined version, lowering her upper body backwards until her head touches the floor. The pose stretches the quadriceps, hip flexors and psoas muscles, while also enhancing flexibility in the spine, knees and ankles. It can also expand the ribcage, supporting deeper, more comfortable breathing.
To perform Supta Vajrasana, one should begin by sitting in Vajrasana, then slowly lean the torso backwards from the waist using arms for support. The head should reach the floor, with only the upper part of the spine in contact with it. Beginners can start with a 30-second hold, gradually increasing duration to three minutes as they become more comfortable.
Shilpa advised that people experiencing knee or ankle pain should avoid this pose, as it involves deep flexion of the joints. As with all yoga practices, controlled movement, comfortable breathing and proper support are essential for beginners.
