Apart from her vegetarian diet, Poorna Jagannathan stays fit and strong with regular exercise. In an interview with Times of India, she got candid about her go-to workouts. For her, exercising isn’t just about keeping her slim, it’s also about reducing her stress. That’s why she always relies on yoga to help her feel relaxed.

“I get stressed out very easily so I have to take time out everyday to exercise. I carry all my stress on my shoulders and yoga is the best way to ease that. So it’s yoga a couple of times a week and working out at the gym about thrice a week,” said the actress. Aside from yoga, she also walks a lot. “I’ll get in about an hour of walking – I just run all my errands by foot so it’s the most organic way to exercise. Once a month, I get a deep tissue massage done,” she shared.
