Yoga has become an integral part of people's fitness routine because of its many health benefits, including physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being. However, with our busy schedules or pre-conceived notions about this ancient practise, we end up not including it in our daily routine. So, if you are in the mood to change this habit and finally include some yoga asanas in your training sessions, we have a perfect guide to share with you. It features five simple asanas with benefits like migraine relief, improving digestion and heart health, and relaxing the spine.

On Thursday, Sarvesh Shashi, Malaika Arora's partner in her yoga studio, took to Instagram to share the yoga guide video that mentioned the five yoga asanas. He posted the clip on World Health Day, April 7. (Also Read: Check out 5 yoga asanas that will help you sleep better)
