Ankita Konwar Demonstrates Eka Pada Rajakapotasana and Details its Health Benefits

The bar has always been raised high by Milind Soman and his wife Ankita Konwar when it comes to staying fit and working out. Ankita is a big-time fitness enthusiast and a marathon runner who swears by yoga, and her Instagram timeline holds the testament for the same. While she loves to maintain the versatility in her physical activities, her love for yoga is an open tale, in which she holds expertise. Continuing the trajectory of being an avid Instagram user, Ankita recently took to her official Instagram handle to drop a picture of herself performing a particularly difficult yoga asana, called Eka Pada Rajakapotasana.

Eka Pada Rajakapotasana is also known as the king pigeon pose and is usually performed by professionals or in presence of an expert. However, Ankita inspired her fans by nailing the complex asana. In the picture, she can be seen contorting her body in a manner that her right leg twisted behind her and touched her head, which she bent towards the back with the support of her hands.

Taking to the captions of her post, Ankita penned down a long note while explaining the benefits of the pigeon pose. Ankita divided her captions in two. While the first half detailed the physical benefits of the asana, the second half focused on the emotional benefits of the same.

She wrote, “Ek Pada Rajakapotasana improves flexibility in hips, pelvis, and groin. Opens up the shoulders and chest. Lengthens the flexors of the hips. Opens up hip joints and increases the range of movements therein.” While explaining the emotional benefits, Ankita added, “Emotional benefits – It is our primal reaction to store stress, trauma, fear, and anxiety in the hips. These bottled-up feelings create tight hips. This posture opens the hips and releases negative feelings and undesirable energy stored in your system.”

Sporting the complete athleisure look, Ankita donned a peachy pink tank top atop printed mauve tights. The fitness expert chose to keep her hair open. Apart from being obsessed with fitness and workouts, Ankita is an avid social media user, which she always keeps updated with her daily ongoing in her life. And many times fans even get treated to the glimpses of her actor and model husband Milind.
