Yami Gautam-healing neck injury
“This post is very personal… Having suffered a serious neck injury, Iv always had to be extra cautious – esp owing to the fact the amount of physical exertion due to dance, workout, non-stop travel, physical activity, action, painful footwear, etc & this list is endless, resonates with being an actor [sic],” she wrote.
“Somehow it’s always been about never expressing the pain beneath the surface & rather conditioning your ownself to bear it & like its said,,, the show must go on,” Gautam, 31, added.

“This lockdown, I got to explore something which I couldn’t before! Every time I would try practicing Yoga, I would be left more in pain owing to my condition, hence my experience never encouraged me to continue.. but this time I self-tutored my way through & allowed my body to heal itself inside out and it has worked like never before!” she wrote.
“This lockdown was not about ‘looking fit’ or ‘ workout of the day’ … it was the time where I listened & just went with the flow! I am no expert (which you shall see in the imagesߘ?)! I took my first baby step towards this journey, which shall not stop,” the star added.
