“A day packed with commitments should never deter us from sparing some time for fitness. In the midst of a 14-hour shift, I try my best to make the most of my time in between shots. So, I squeezed in some reps of the free squats, a few stretches, and Natrajasana,” she wrote.

Further, she also shared some health benefits of performing free squats and Natrajasana.

“Practicing the Natrajasana strengthens the shoulder, back, arms, and legs,” the 46-year-old explained. It regulates the digestive system and is great for stretching the body including hands, thighs, legs, waist and abdomen.
