Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India – 21st September 2025
Fakiya Firdush (born on 3rd August 2000) from Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, has achieved a remarkable world record by holding the Upward Lotus Pose (Urdhva Padmasana) continuously for 10 minutes and 9 seconds.
The Upward Lotus Pose is an advanced yoga asana in which the practitioner balances the body on the shoulders while the legs remain folded in Padmasana and lifted upward. Fakiya’s sustained performance demonstrates extraordinary strength, flexibility, balance, endurance, and mind–body harmony. Her achievement stands as a powerful testament to yogic discipline, focus, and determination.
“Fakiya Firdush’s record is a shining example of discipline, strength, and inner focus. Her achievement elevates the standards of advanced yoga and serves as an inspiration for practitioners worldwide.”
