(As Baba Ramdev prepares to kick off a football match between MPs and film stars at Delhi’s JLN stadium on 24 July, here is a piece from The Quint’s archives on the yoga guru’s lesser known asanas.)

Do you feel uninspired to move around for a few yoga asanas? There, there, we feel your pain and thus, we have added incentives to the classic yoga positions. Here’s how you may rock a few poses in everyday life. Yoga bhi, swag bhi!

Hiphopasana

Get the grooves on, and burn everything from the yoga mat to the dance floor. After all, Baba ko bass pasand hai!

Heroicasana

When the world is trying to tuck in their tummies to show their chiseled abs, go a step further. Create a room, or rather a hall, for your pranayams. Leave behind the competition of six and eight-pack abs. Breathe ‘abs’olutely fresh air, and stay calm.

Adjustkarasana

Only the most valiant and alert souls can survive crowded commutes in public transport. Now, you’ve the key. Just say those magical words, “Please adjust” with a slight twist of your legs. And you’ve managed to fit in a tight space.

Barishasana

Monsoon is here, and so would be those waterlogged streets. Practice this effective pose to help you stay dry, however small your umbrella may be. This will keep you warm as you curl up with yourself. Romantic, eh?

Surferasana

While a few poses may make you suffer, this one will make you a surfer. Hit the beach, and ride the waves. Because, as the Baba says, “Karne se hota hai.”
