‘All my life I’ve been wanting to do a handstand’
Like many athletes, Sania Mirza took to trying new exercises while being at home during the coronavirus lockdown.
The 33-year-old has been keeping herself fit by participating in fitness sessions at her home.
In an Instagram post, the tennis player recently revealed how she turned to yoga for ‘flexibility, controlled breathing and patience’. And with practice, she was able to pull off a difficult yoga asana — handstand.
Sania posted a picture of herself doing the yoga pose and captioned it, “All my life I’ve been wanting to do a handstand but I’ve been more scared than anything else. .. yoga is something that I turned to in this lockdown to calm myself from anxiety (for no reason),flexibility, controlled breathing and patience my second attempt at an assisted handstand ..thank you @nicyjosephdanceandfitness for making it possible and teaching me the technique,” she wrote.
Sania has often shared posts after workout sessions.
