Ram – who essays the role of Lord Shiv in Colors’ Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyag Tandav says, “Lord Shiva is revered as Adiyogi – the embodiment of yoga itself. He is the divine lord who governs the union of body, mind, and consciousness. According to our ancient scriptures, it was Lord Shiva who first shared the knowledge of yoga and meditation with his beloved wife, Goddess Parvati.” He continues, “For me, it is a great honour to portray such a sacred figure in the show ‘Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyag Tandav’. Through this role, I have the privilege of bringing Lord Shiva’s teachings and wisdom to life for the audience. I aim to depict Lord Shiva’s lessons – the importance of self-discipline, and the power of meditation.”

Talking about Yoga, the actress reveals it’s part of her daily routine, Devoleena shares, “I begin each day with yoga; it has become an essential part of my daily routine. I’ve been practising this ancient discipline for over 3 years now, and it has completely transformed my body, mind, and spirit. If I miss even one day of my practice, I feel incomplete throughout the day; it’s as though something is lacking. Yoga has benefited me in many ways, including stress relief, enhanced flexibility, and spiritual growth. I feel stronger and more confident in my body than ever before.”

Speaking about her favourite yoga poses, the ‘Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya’ actress says, “I enjoy practising various poses like the butterfly pose, bridge pose, and triangle pose. The butterfly pose is excellent for opening up the hips and promoting flexibility in the inner thighs, while the bridge pose strengthens the back and glutes. The triangle pose is fantastic for enhancing balance and stretching the sides of the body, leaving me feeling invigorated. I also love practising Surya Namaskar, a wonderful sequence that rejuvenates my entire body and mind, making it a perfect way to start the day.”

Happy World Yoga Day.
