Smita Kumari, an in-house yoga instructor at Adani Group’s healthcare department, set a world record for holding the center split pose for 3 hours 10 minutes, and 12 seconds. The record was set in Ahmedabad and presented by Adani Group’s Chairman, Gautam Adani. Kumari received a certificate from Guinness World Records.
The center split is one of the most difficult positions to learn, master, and maintain. It is a necessary sub-routine to get expertise in disciplines like yoga, ballet, dance, gymnastics, and martial arts. And Ranchi-based Smita has now set a world record in maintaining this difficult position.
Last year, she applied for Guinness World Records, facing challenges like registration, paperwork, and fees. That is when Adani Sportsline intervened to assist her. Smita Kumari said, “The Adani Sportsline team along with the in-house physiotherapist and dietician helped me plan out my journey meticulously till the event day.”
