Benefits of Yoga Wheel:

Adding the Yoga Wheel to your basic stretching routines helps improve flexibility and gives you the confidence to take a step further. It improves hip flexor mobility to master backbends and inversions. Additionally, a Yoga Wheel keeps you upright during asanas and lends support to prevent injuries.

Earlier, Sushmita had shared the news of her heart attack in an Instagram post. She wrote, "Keep your heart happy and courageous, and it'll stand by you when you need it the most Shona (Wise words by my father @sensubir). I suffered a heart attack a couple of days back...Angioplasty done...stent in place...and most importantly, my cardiologist reconfirmed 'I do have a big heart'." Read her full note below.
