Kareena Kapoor Khan's Yoga Instructor Reveals Her Fitness Philosophy — And It's Not About Weight Loss
Kareena Kapoor Khan's Fitness Mantra Isn't About Losing Weight, Says Her Yoga Instructor For Kareena Kapoor Khan, fitness is far more than a number on the scale — it's a personal journey grounded in intuition, discipline, and deep self-awareness. Her approach, shaped over the years with her trusted yoga instructor Anshuka Parwani, is all about tuning in to what her body truly needs. In a recent conversation with ETimes, Anshuka — who began her journey as a trainer with Kareena as her very first student — revealed that weight loss has never been the actor's focus. 'She's the most body-aware person I've ever worked with," said Anshuka. 'There's so much to learn from her. She knows when to push, when to slow down, and when to shift gears into breath work. It's a holistic, mindful practice." Over the past decade, the duo has built a dynamic routine that adapts to Kareena's lifestyle and energy levels. 'Right now, there's no 'I want to lose weight' conversation. Honestly, that's never really been part of our sessions. At most, we've discussed toning down a waist size, but never chasing weight loss," Anshuka noted. Her current workouts blend animal flow movements, strength-driven yoga sequences, and cardio-based practices. It's a rich mix designed not for aesthetics alone, but for stamina, flexibility, and inner vitality. 'Sometimes I feel there's a torch behind her cheeks — she's glowing from within," Anshuka remarked. Interestingly, Kareena isn't a fan of balancing poses like vrikshasana (tree pose) — 'she gets bored," laughs Anshuka — but she swears by Surya Namaskars and backbends. 'She genuinely enjoys her practice. It's a lifestyle, not a task." Prevents Burnout & Injury: Recognizing signs of fatigue or discomfort allows for timely rest and recovery, reducing the risk of overtraining or injury. Encourages Consistency: When you listen to your body, workouts become something you look forward to — not something you dread. This builds a more consistent, long-term habit. Supports Mental Health: Body awareness fosters mindfulness, which reduces stress and anxiety during workouts. It becomes a meditative practice rather than a punishment. Improves Results: Training in alignment with your body's needs leads to better form, greater focus, and more effective results. Fosters Self-Acceptance: Shifting the focus from external goals (like weight loss) to internal cues encourages self-love and acceptance, making fitness a celebration rather than a correction. Kareena's approach reminds us that fitness isn't a destination — it's a conversation with the self, one breath, one pose, and one step at a time. First Published: May 08, 2025, 09:38 IST

Kareena Kapoor has no weight loss goals, reveals yoga trainer: ‘She's glowing, it looks like there is a torch behind her cheeks'
Kareena Kapoor is in her 40s now but her fitness routine can give a 20-something person a run for their money. Kareena's yoga instructor, Anshuka Parwani, recently shared that the actor has been working with her for over a decade and said that she is completely aware of her body, and thus is completely in the loop when they decide her workout routine. Anshuka shared that Kareena is 'glowing' lately and revealed that the actor never had a goal with regard to losing weight. She shared with ETimes, 'When it comes to age, honestly, Kareena is somebody who is the most aware of her body. I know this because I have been with her. She was my first ever student, not only just the first actor, my first ever student. There is so much to learn from her, she is so aware. She has always loved yoga and she understands her body as well so we know when to push a little, when to alter her workout, when to do variations, or the days when we just want to work on some breath work.' Talking about het current routine, Anshuka revealed, 'Right now, we are being very balanced. I think she is looking beautiful inside and out. She is really glowing. Sometimes, I feel like there is a torch behind her cheeks because it's beautiful.' Kareena's routine includes 'a lot of mixes of animal flows, lot of strength when it comes to yoga practices. We do a lot of cardio vascular based workout as well.' She added, 'Right now, there is no 'I want to lose'. Honestly, now that I think of it, that's never really happened. The maximum I could really say about anybody has been that, you know, maybe I would like to drop a waist size.' Anshuka was also asked about Kareena's most favourite and least favourite exercises and she said, 'Kareena doesn't like balancing asanas. I think she gets bored doing vriksh-asana.' She added, 'Her favourite is Surya namaskar. She loves her back bend. She loves to practice. This is her lifestyle.' In 2024, Kareena was seen in Singham Again and Crew.
