Yoga Poses for a Good Night Sleep

February 5, 2013

Yoga for sleep

Clean the kitchen, wash face, brush teeth, put on PJs and then focus on your breath. Deep inhale 10 sec, deep exhale 10 secs.

These poses are designed to bring your senses inward and to stretch the areas that are most prone to tension, so your mind and body will feel relaxed.
You can even do these in bed…

First, warm the spine and hit reset, up on all fours in cat/cow pose.

1)Seated heart opener/camel

2)Dolphin/puppy

3)seated bound angle/rocking back massage/reclined bound angle

4)Reclined spinal twist

5)Legs up the wall and return focus on the breath, 10 seconds in and 10 out.

See the poses demonstrated, and why these are the best for a sound sleep, on my TV segment from Fox&Friends First.
