#AutumnAsanas Day 15–#Upwardfacingtwofootstaff pose: Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana Traditionally, you’ll get into this pose by lowering yourself to the ground from wheel. I like the support of a wheel or other bolster to access this heart opener if I’m not feeling strong on a particular day. 🍁Begin in wheel pose. 🍁Bend your arms and place the crown of your head on the floor between your hands. 🍁Keep your chest open and lifted. 🍁On your next exhalation, slide one hand past your ear to cup the back of your head, bringing your weight onto your forearm. Repeat the same action with the other arm, interlacing your fingers behind your head. 🍁With an exhalation, press down through your elbows and wrists and lifting your chest to raise your head off the floor. As your head lifts, press your heels down. 🍁🍁🍁**Of course, your head may seem glued to the floor; if that’s the case, continue to hold the pose where you are. 🍁If you do lift your head, walk the feet away from your hands until your legs are nearly straight; then plant your feet and exhale as you stretch Wheel by @dharmayogawheel Leggings by @fractal.9 Mat by @auroraeyoga Hosts: @justsmileandnod @yogidalia @busybodyyogi & @badwolfyoga Sponsors: @fractal.9 @infinitystrap @mymanifesta @Auroraeyoga @21drops @rerescuedfurnishings

You ARE allowed to quit

if it hurts, you can quit if you’re not enjoying it, you can quit if you’ve run out of time, you can quit (and perhaps plan better for next time if possible?) you’re allowed to have limits with your exercise. you don’t always have to be pushing yourself further and harder if you don’t want to. your movement still counts regardless. go at your own pace, and try not to let anyone convince you that your pace isn’t good enough <3

Very often this so much easier said than done, but even putting for the effort to switch your thoughts to celebrating YOU when you notice you’re falling into the Comparing Yourself to Others Trap, will benefit you tremendously. And guess what? You deserve to be celebrated.
