Fact Check-

A reverse Image search for video key frames turned up a Facebook page that had posted the same video. This is the Facebook page of an acupressure clinic in Hyderabad. Om Sairam Perfect Health Consultant and Dietician Clinic founder Dr. Manisha is the woman in the footage. This page contains many videos of Manisha instructing people in the clinic on exercises.

According to the webpage, it is a comprehensive healthcare services organisation based in Hyderabad. Dr. Manisha, a dietician from Hyderabad, founded the clinic in 1995. More information about Dr. Manisha and Om Sairam Perfect Health Clinic is available on her page.

When we contacted the clinic’s phone number, Sharad, Dr. Manisha’s husband and head of the institution, said: “Dr. Manisha is seen in the viral video footage and this video was filmed in our clinic. The video is unrelated to Tata Memorial Hospital.”
