During pregnancy, it’s important to eat right and get plenty of rest, but it’s equally important to stay healthy. Many celebrity moms have spoken out about the importance of exercising before giving birth, with prenatal yoga being a popular option. Take a look.
Deepika Padukone
Bollywood queen and soon-to-be mother Deepika Padukone has been dazzling us with her pregnancy glow every time she steps out. Now, in a recent social media post, Deepika opened up about self-care and revealed that she practices Viparita Karani every day even during her pregnancy. She attached a picture of herself perfecting a yoga asana, making her fans ecstatic over her pregnant belly.
Soha Ali Khan
In 2017, Kunal Kemmu and Soha Ali Khan welcomed their beautiful daughter Inaaya Naumi Kemmu into the world. But before giving birth, the expectant mother was regularly practising yoga to prepare for the hormonal rush of labour and its aftermath. To inspire her fans, Soha also shared pictures from her pre-natal yoga class.
Kareena Kapoor Khan
Bollywood’s original diva, Kareena Kapoor Khan, is not only an actor but also an avid yoga enthusiast. Even when she was pregnant, the mother of two did not stop working and training. She looked glamorous and totally inspirational while flaunting her baby bump. Post-pregnancy, Bebo continues to practice yoga diligently. She is often spotted with her husband Saif Ali Khan and sons Taimur and Jehangir.
Neha Dhupia
Actress Neha Dhupia had been doing yoga for the past 20 years when she was pregnant with her second child. In an Instagram post, she wrote, “I am told that everything I was doing before pregnancy should be continued for the next 9 months too.”
Anushka Sharma
Actress Anushka Sharma and her cricketer husband Virat Kohli took the internet by storm when they announced that they are expecting their first child. A picture of Anushka performing Sirshasana with the help of Virat did the same. The mother-to-be posted, “Yoga is a big part of my life and my doctor has suggested that I can perform all the asanas I did pre-pregnancy (after a certain stage) except for twists and extreme forward bends, with proper and necessary support of course.”
But every body is different, so before you take inspiration from these star moms, be sure to talk to your doctor about prenatal yoga.
