Being Present in Upward Dog

I look at this picture of me and it bothers me because it unforgivingly represents one of my greatest struggles: to just be and enjoy, instead of strain and push on. #Upwarddog in a #sunsalutation is a revitalizing pose that brings refreshing energy as you inhale. But if you don't inhale to enjoy it, and instead are as I am in this pose with eyes strained open and thinking about where I'll be next instead of enjoying where I am now, then you miss it. Next upward dog I do tomorrow will be with eyes closed, inhaling the moment, being there enjoying it, forgetting the past and not worrying about the future. 📸 by @moshezusman
