In the short clip, Neena sat cross-legged in Padmasana and then cupped her eyes with her hands. She also took deep breaths while meditating in the relaxing pose. To do the meditative asana, one has to sit cross-legged on the floor and then place both the ankles on opposite thighs.

Benefits:

This yoga pose helps open up the hips, stretches the ankles and knees, calms the brain and increases awareness and attentiveness. It also helps keep the spine straight and develop good posture. It also enhances flexibility in the joints and ligaments.

After Neena shared the video on the photo-sharing app, it garnered many views and likes. Her fans were impressed by the actor’s dedication to fitness and mental wellbeing. One user wrote, "You are an inspiration."
