1 Auto Pilates
Namrata Purohit, Pilates instructor to celebs such as Kareena Kapoor Khan and Malaika Arora, has been posting simple exercises on her Instagram. The workouts include side planks, Pilates, kneeling squats and lunges. “Opt for exercises like high knees, skipping, jumping jacks and some high-intensity interval training or tabata style training,” she says. Pilates, according to her, is a mind and body exercise that works on the entire body and lengthens the spine.

2 Exercise Your Mind
Meditation can not only help battle stress and improve concentration, it can also contribute to one’s overall physical well-being by regulating breath and blood pressure. However, it is a process that can often be daunting for beginners. Given our daily routines, which typically involve long commutes, hectic schedules, hyper-socialising and constant communication, rediscovering peace within cannot happen overnight. “Once you start to see the benefits of just 3-5 minutes of mediation, you will automatically want to increase the time,” says Dr Issac Mathai, holistic healer and founder of Soukya in Bengaluru. As we face a pandemic, meditation can be the key to sorting out our thoughts, letting go of excessive fear and healing ourselves at a deeper, more spiritual level.
WAITING TO EXHALE
