So proud to see our Bollywood stars promoting yoga globally! 🇮🇳 Shilpa Shetty has been my yoga inspiration for years - her dedication shows how yoga keeps you youthful inside-out. Let's make India the yoga capital of the world! 🙏

While I appreciate celebs promoting yoga, sometimes their perfect poses can intimidate beginners. Yoga is for every body type and fitness level - wish they'd show more modifications for common people like us.

Started yoga during lockdown after seeing Malaika's posts! 3 years later - no back pain, better sleep and 8kg weight loss. Best decision ever! 😊 Though I can't do those fancy asanas yet, even basic stretches changed my life.

Milind Soman at 58 is goals! Proves yoga isn't just for women or young people. As a 40+ office worker, his simple approach inspires me more than complex gym routines. More men should embrace yoga without hesitation.

Wish schools would make yoga compulsory instead of just celebrating one day. Our ancient practice can solve modern problems like exam stress and gadget addiction in kids. Government should act beyond photo ops on Yoga Day.

While celebs help popularize yoga, let's not forget the real yogis in Rishikesh and Himalayas who've preserved this knowledge for centuries. Hope some profits from this yoga boom reach those traditional teachers too. #RespectRoots
