While most celebrities have shared glimpses of their own Yoga sessions on this occasion, Kabir Bedi has shared peek of his Yoga sessions from years ago. While one of his pictures show him seated in the meditation pose, the other one shows him performing ‘Salambha Sarvangasana’, which involves lifting the entire body in the air barring the head and shoulders.
