MUMBAI – Shilpa Shetty, known for her dedication to yoga and fitness, recently shared videos on social media demonstrating the Utthan Pristhasana (Lizard Pose) and Anjaneyasana (Low Lunge Pose), as well as the banded feet elevated glute bridge.

According to Shilpa Shetty, these yoga poses help keep the body moving while calming the mind. The many benefits include:

• Deep Stretching: Stretches the hips, hamstrings, hip flexors, quadriceps, groin, and adductors.
• Improved Mobility: Enhances flexibility, mobility, balance, and overall stability.
• Strengthening: Strengthens the legs, glutes, core, shoulders, and arms.
• Posture & Spinal Health: Opens the chest and shoulders to improve posture and spinal health.
• Mental Well-being: Helps reduce stress and promotes relaxation.
• Internal Health: Boosts digestion, stimulates abdominal organs, and supports reproductive health.
• Pain Relief: Relieves lower back tension and sciatica discomfort.
• Cognitive Enhancement: Enhances focus, mental clarity, mindfulness, and mind-body connection, promoting cognitive sharpness in daily activities.

In a previous post demonstrating banded feet, Shilpa highlighted the following benefits:

• Glute Hypertrophy: Increases hip flexion range for a better Gluteus Maximus (Glute Max) hypertrophy stimulus.
• Load Management: Shifts the load to the posterior chain while minimizing lumbar (lower back) extension.
• Enhanced Glute Activation: Uses the band’s lateral tension to enhance Gluteus Medius (Glute Med) and upper-glute activation.
• Stability & Alignment: Improves hip external-rotation stability and knee alignment.
• Safer Engagement: Helps maintain a posterior pelvic tilt for safer, more effective glute engagement.
