Shilpa Shetty learns yoga from Baba Ramdev




A yoga camp in Mumbai saw Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty learning a few yogic asanas (postures) from the popular yoga guru, Baba Ramdev.

Baba Ramdev organized the yoga camp on Wednesday in which thousands of people including Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty participated.

Yoga, an ancient school of Hindu philosophy, prescribes physical exercises and mental disciplines for securing a sound body and mind and also attaining spiritual bliss.

Apart from helping one lose weight, yoga has also been known to benefit one in various aliments like blood pressure, arthritis, regulating blood sugar and even in heart ailments.

Shilpa, a self-confessed fitness freak said, she had been performing yoga for long but was quite oblivious to the numerous benefits it offered.


"I started performing yoga because I'm suffering from cervical spondylosis which I developed during weight training. I've been doing yoga from a long time but I didn't know that benefits of yoga were so vast," said Shilpa.

After the yoga session, Shilpa Shetty presented Ramdev with one of her fitness DVDs called `Shilpa's Yoga`, which has already created waves in the United Kingdom.

'When are you getting married,' was Ramdev's first question to Shilpa when she met the Yog Guru at his camp.

'As soon as she gets a suitable match', Shilpa replied promptly.

Ramdev has popularized yoga across the world with claims of the ancient knowledge curing illnesses ranging from cancer to AIDS through breathing exercises and traditional medicines.
