Kareena often shares update from her terrace, where she has a dedicated space for yoga. While she knows how to practice many poses, her favourite is the Chakrasana pose.

Kareena Kapoor practices Chakrasana pose

Kareena Kapoor's fitness trainer Anshuka Parwani shared a glimpse of the actor's workout routine. The diva loves doing Chakrasana, also known as Urdhva Dhanurasana or Wheel Pose. It is a yoga asana that involves arching the back while supporting the body with the hands and feet.

The name "Chakrasana" comes from the Sanskrit words "chakra," meaning wheel, and "asana," meaning pose or posture.

Sharing the post Anshuka wrote, "Backbends with Bebo @kareenakapoorkhan [fire emoji] Jamming into our #Chakrasana series #KareenaKapoorKhan #BackbendChallenge." Bebo also shared the photo on her account with the caption, "Sunday plans? Yoga for me...Crew for you #ChakrasanaSeries @anshukayoga."

How to perform Chakrasana

• Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
• Bend your elbows and place your hands on the floor beside your head, fingers pointing toward your shoulders.
• Pressing into your hands and feet, lift your hips up toward the ceiling.
  Straighten your arms as much as possible, lifting your chest and arching your back.
• Keep your neck relaxed and gaze toward the floor or toward your hands.
• Hold the pose for several breaths, then gently lower your body back down to the floor
