How Yoga played a major role in Aanchal Munjal’s recovery after her major surgery

After a hiatus, Aanchal Munjal is back in action as she recently recovered from a major surgery she underwent in 2020. The actress who was advised bedrest for 2 months after her surgery, bounced back with zeal even though she couldn’t hit the gym yet. It was maintaining a healthy diet combined with Yoga that helped her restore her strength and fitness in her difficult times.

“During my recovery, I practiced Ustrasana, Pavanamuktasana, Gomukhasana, Ardha Matsyendrāsana, Brahma Mudra, Tadasana and breathing exercises followed by meditation. Yoga is an important part of my life. It’s about living beautifully inside out. When I practice yoga, not only my body but my soul feels amazing,” Aanchal shares.

Aanchal had two major setbacks – one a shoulder injury during dance rehearsals in 2014, and later a surgery in 2020. So it was importnat that her training took care of both the factors to ensure her body doesn’t undergo any kind of stress. Her fitness regime thus has a combination of strength training, cardio and yoga.

Having discovered the benefits of Yoga, it is now an integral part of Aanchal’s life. “I feel everyone must practice Yoga for overall well-being – good mental, physical, emotional health,” she concludes.
