Fitness coach shares glimpse of David Dhawan, 74, doing yoga: ‘Money, power, fame…still so humble’

“Yoga offers a range of benefits that extend far beyond flexibility. For someone with a busy schedule and a history of intense physical work, it can support better posture, reduced stiffness, improved balance and a centred mind. Incorporating breathing techniques helps regulate stress and cultivates calm, making it an appealing practice for people of all ages,” said Goyal.

What is refreshing about this glimpse into Dhawan’s routine is its simplicity and accessibility. “He is not performing extreme variations or complex flows. He demonstrates a grounded, steady approach to fitness that prioritises consistency over intensity. In a culture that often equates exercise with high intensity, his practice stands out as an example of how thoughtful movement can be equally powerful, especially in the 70s,” said Goyal.

For people in their 70s, especially those with a bulge, gentle yoga and flexibility work can help maintain mobility without placing excess strain on the back, said Goyal.

“Slow, guided movements combined with breath awareness support spinal alignment, reduce stiffness and improve confidence in movement when practised under supervision,” added Goyal.

Mindful movement, whether through yoga, stretching, or breathwork, can be a sustained and rewarding part of a healthy lifestyle.
