00:00Bollywood actress and celebrity yoga ambassador Shilpa Shetty Kundra kick-started the first

00:14Ex-Yoga Dubai Festival at Downtown Dubai on Friday.

00:18Around 9,000 yoga enthusiasts stretched and twisted limbs during the opening of the two-day

00:22Ex-Yoga Dubai Festival, the largest mass participation yoga session in the Middle East.

00:28Yoga is the only form of exercise that is strengthening internally and externally.

00:35So it also helps your internal organs, massaging them when you're doing your stomach exercises,

00:41it calms your nerves, it's basically a oneness of mind, body and soul.

00:47So there's no other exercise form that does that.

00:52Shetty Kundra says she's happy to create awareness about yoga, which she claims has given her

00:57many health benefits.

00:58I'm more than happy to be a play catalyst in bringing about an awareness for an exercise

01:06form that has given me so many health benefits.

01:10And you don't need a membership, you just need a yoga mat and yourself, and you need

01:16a calm frame of mind, and there's nothing in the world you can't achieve when you're

01:21aligned.

01:22Because all of us are so scattered, trying to achieve all that we want to in our life,

01:29that I feel yoga is a great grounding factor.

01:32And the pranayamas and the asanas actually make you realize that you can actually push

01:39yourself to a greater extent, and makes you believe that, oh, there are some body parts

01:47that you didn't even know existed.

01:48This was my first time, and I will continue for the same.

01:53I've been practicing yoga for quite a while, around five years now, and this is for the

01:58first time that I've encountered, maybe it's thousands of people, thousands of people having

02:04it around, and I think this is a nice initiative from ex-Dubai.

02:10I will continue doing it regularly, as it was very beneficial, and I feel it's very

02:15good for keeping us healthy and good.

02:17It was an awesome experience, and Shilpa Chetty revealed her beauty secret with us, and she

02:23rolled so many yoga asanas, and I'm definitely going to do in my home on a regular basis.

02:28The Health and Fitness event, initiated by the Dubai Tourism and Commerce Marketing and

02:33Ex-Dubai, an adventure and action sports company, is the anchor event of the year-long Ex-Yoga

02:38Dubai initiative, which has already included flushed mobs in various places and transparent

02:43tracks carrying people who do yoga.
