Manisha Koirala embraces yoga

Back in the US, where she was fighting a bitter battle against cancer, Manisha Koirala sought solace in the healing power of yoga. And now, after returning to her home in Mumbai, yoga is what she plans to continue.
“Loved yoga... realised I need to be patient... my body is not the same now... lot weaker... happy I started it at least... slow n steady,” the actress had posted on a social networking site on May 4.
Even while undergoing chemotherapy, she had started walking on the treadmill and soon took to yoga. Says her manager, Subroto Ghosh, “She was a member of a five-star gym before leaving for the US. Now that she’s back, she might set up a home gym, but yoga is what she plans to do regularly.”
The actress has asked for November dates to complete her Malayalam film, Edavapathy, which got stuck because of the actress’s illness. “She will continue to work in films, but will be a little choosy. In between, she will have to fly to the US for a few check-ups,” says Subroto.
On Thursday, Manisha spent a quiet day at home. “She is jet-lagged and was sleeping in the afternoon,” adds her manager.
