Here, we bring to you some of Malaika's best workout videos:
In the first post, the Chhaiyya Chhaiyya girl is seen hanging upside down with the help of suspenders. Malaika, who is in a relationship with Arjun Kapoor, shared this video on Instagram and wrote: "Sometimes, all you need to do is, change your view. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at CHANGE. - Dr Wayne Dyer. Hello universe! Hello new day! Hello new week!" [sic]"
Filmmaker-friend Farah Khan was awestruck looking at this picture, and commented, "U b**dy look good upside down also [sic]"
In this second picture, Malaika is seen doing a headstand with her knees bent and toes pointing at each other. She captioned the video as: "The point isn't how well you performed today, the point is that you showed up. Wake up and show up everyday. The one hour you spend everyday for yourself to be physically and mindfully fit is the most important one hour. [sic]"
The yogini's next asana talks about believing in miracles because it happens with Chamatkarasna. Speaking about the benefits, she updated her followers by writing:
It truly is a miracle asana, which helps in both physical and psychological benefits.
1. It meticulously combines the back bend and single hand balance.
2. Physically, it opens the chest, shoulders, and throat.
3. Opens the hips and hip flexors.
4. Stretches and strengthens the back.
5. It cultivates feelings of universal love and acceptance.
The next one is about stretching, bending and releasing the stress with these little things. "Practise makes perfect"..... am still a work in progress.. starting this week with some stretches, bends,yoga.repeat... [sic]"
Last but definitely not the least, Malaika with her business partner, Sarvesh Shashi. It's escalating to see these two balance out some difficult asanas with so much ease. Sharing the pictures, Malaika wrote: "Yoga helps you become who you want to be. It gives you self-confidence, self-belief and the mental power to go the extra mile! Flying into the week like this! #malaikasmondaymotivation with my partner in crime @sarvesh_shashi [sic]"
