Mickey Mehta: pushing new boundaries
Touted as quick-fix solutions to life’s issues for youth, the regimen will also cater to the elderly who are pushing new boundaries, the write-up notes. Termed Flow-Yo, Card-Yo, Stretch-Yo, Strength-Yo, Ab-Yo, Cross-Yo and Cool-Yo, the workouts will be a synergy of exercises. "Yo is like saying yuppie, it’s young, cool, trendy, it’s another way of giving the universe a high five,” Mehta explains.
Having put in years of scientific research and new age study, Mehta claims, "They are based on principles, spirituality and science of yoga, but I have re-worked them. Every workout connects body to mind, mind to spirit, spirit to body, leading to wholeness and evolution… I want wellness to be the world’s religion No. 1. I will take every initiative to work towards making ours a disease-free world. If that happens, every day will be like a ‘birthday’ not just for me but for all of us. I want everybody to get energized. When you do that, your potential gets maximized and optimized. It’s what I call ‘Getting Mickeymized.’”
