With her recent Instagram post, Deepika Padukone urged everyone to join her in the celebration of ‘Self-Care Month’ by incorporating your exercise routine stating, “Why celebrate ‘Self-Care Month’ when you can practice simple acts of self-care every day?”
As the self-care month just began on June 24, mom-to-be Deepika, who has exercise as part of life not only to look good but to feel fit, reminded her fans through her Instagram post that “It’s the self-care month.”
The Kalki actress shared a picture of her practicing Viparita Karani (leg up the wall pose) expressing self-care through workouts. Sharing the benefits of the Yoga pose as well, the actress wrote in Sanskrit, *viparita* means “inverted” and *karani* translates to “in action.” This active inversion position is also called the restful inversion. Lying with your legs up against the wall can benefit your mental and physical health. From calming the nervous system to strengthening immune health, this ancient posture offers so much, especially in our stressful and busy world.”
