From Hema Malini to Shilpa Shetty, to starlets like Mallika Sherawat and Nisha Kothari, to muscle men like Suniel Shetty, they all need their everyday bout of the art of good living.

Hectic lifestyles and stressful work routines have left people with less time than ever to devote to exercise routines. In the race to get ahead in life, our well-being suffers adversely and people in demanding and taxing everyday lives are no longer taking health or fitness for granted.

Generation Next is rushing in droves to gyms, spas and Yoga studios to live a healthier life. Of the lot, Yoga has caught the fancy of the urban yuppie more than anything else. The art of Yoga no longer means having to grow a beard and living in the Himalayas; yet it is most effective in its traditional form.

But for those who cannot squeeze in a Yoga studio into their busy schedule, here are a few Yoga moves, by Yoga Guru Suneel Singh, to kickstart your mornings the healthy way.

OM MANTRA DHYAN (MEDITATION)

The root of word meditation owes to Sanskrit word Dhyeya which means right thinking.

Method: Sit in a comfortable position (preferably cross-legged) for Om¬ Mantra Meditation. Close your eyes. Both hands should be placed on the knee in Gyan Mudra position, wherein the tip of the index finger touches the thumb. Keep your back, neck and head in a straight line. Next, relax the muscles and do not move the body and begin inhaling deeply. While you inhale, chant Om focusing on the pronunciation of the word.

Benefits & Effects: This asana helps to lessen tension, constipation, gastric problems, weakness, stammering, mental tension, heart disease and anger.
