Good on her for focusing on mental health too. In our fast-paced Mumbai life, we forget the 'prana' (life force) part of yoga. Kapalbhati every morning has changed my energy levels completely.

Respectfully, while her dedication is commendable, it feels a bit like another celebrity wellness trend. Real yoga and pranayama teachers in Rishikesh or even local shalas don't get this platform. The focus should be on the practice, not just the celebrity doing it.

Interesting read! As someone new to yoga, I didn't know about these different breathing techniques. Her movie list is also spot on - Queen and Dil Chahta Hai are iconic!

"Train hard, protect peace" - that's a solid mantra for 2026. In today's stressful work environment, pranayama is a game-changer for managing anxiety. Bhramri (bee breath) before a big meeting works wonders!

Love that she included Udgeeth! The chanting aspect is so important but often overlooked in modern yoga classes. It's more than just fitness; it's spiritual cleansing. ♥️
