Three celebrity fitness experts share their beauty and wellness choices with Ria Bhatia

With inside-out beauty gaining momentum in recent times, we all know how important being well is to our glow. There’s no way we can give fitness the go-by. From boosted blood circulation to increased collagen production, the benefits to beauty of sweating it out are countless. We spoke to celebrity fitness experts Namrata Purohit – celebrity Pilates trainer and founder, The Pilates Studio; Anshuka Parwani – celebrity holistic health and yoga expert and founder, Anshuka Yoga; and Deanne Panday – fitness expert and health coach, about fitness and beauty.
What does ‘beauty’ mean to you?
Namrata Purohit: Beauty is about being your true, authentic self. I think there is beauty in everything and everyone.
Anshuka Parwani: To me, beauty is lots of light and positive energy. It’s about being peaceful, confident and full of love.
Deanne Panday: Beauty has different meanings for different people. For me, it’s always been very organic, traditional, pure and natural. And this applies not just to products, but also to one’s actions. Beauty is not only about aesthetics or the outer appearance, it is also how a person acts and thinks – it comes from within.
The connection between fitness and beauty: what's your take?

"UGH, I HATE HOW I LOOK!"
If the title to this feature is a sentence that goes off in your head every time you stand in front of the mirror, you need to keep reading. No, this is not your run-of-the-mill self-love spiel that will magically change your self-image by the end. It won't. And it definitely won't silence the voices that have told you to fix, hide, and erase parts of you deemed “too much” or “not enough”. What it will do is offer something rare: a reason, however small, to stop waging war with your reflection, and feel a little better about coming home to the person who's been there all along. You.
