Stretches for improved sleep
We could all use a little more sleep, right?
Below is a yin yoga stretching routine to help prepare for a good nights rest using forward folds, breathe work and simple reclined poses to help calm the nerves and unwind after a long day
Start with a seated meditation
Followed by alternative nostril breathing
Next butterfly (Feet touching)
Half butterfly (straighten one leg)
Caterpillar (Two legs straight with forward fold)
Then into a Swan pose
Reclined butterfly (Lay on your back)
Legs up the wall (Lay on back, legs rest on the wall)
Lastly Corpse pose (Lay down on your back)
Take 1-5 mins in each pose ending in corpse pose for a longer amount of time
Allow gravity to relax your body while in each pose
Try this out & let me know how you sleep
