Malaika Arora does Malasana, Adho Mukha Svanasana and Utkatasana. 

Malasana or the Garland Pose is an "excellent pose to strengthen your thighs and legs. This pose also helps release stiffness in the lower body." To do this pose, hold it for at least 20 seconds.

Malaika called Adho Mukha Svanasana or the Downward Facing Dog Pose her go-to asanas for improving physical and mental health. "It gives a deep stretch to the arms and legs and thereby helps tone the hamstrings, calves, arches and hands," she added.

Utkatasana or the Chair Pose "targets the quadricep and the gluteal muscles." It is known for improving posture and balance while toning the overall body. "Start with holding this pose for a few seconds and later increase the hold time as you develop body strength," Malaika wrote.
