4 yoga poses for improved sleep
Carrying out some simple stretching sequences before going to bed help you to drift off and guarantee a good night’s sleep.
Getting enough rest is essential in order to enjoy physical and mental wellness, but it is impossible to achieve it without sleeping properly. A balanced diet or carrying out physical exercise are not enough for your body to reach this necessary ‘reset’ feeling’. Deep sleep does guarantee this recuperating effect, but with the changes when the clocks are put back or brought forward, many people find it difficult to fall asleep. The solution for improved sleep involves relaxation before going to bed, which can be achieved by practicing different techniques such as deep breathing, mindfulness or yoga.
And the fact is that practicing some yoga positions for sleep does not only help you to fall asleep, but it also improves the quality of your sleep. Five repetitions of each position, or holding them through deep breathing cycles are enough for our body to respond to the call of relaxation. Once you have performed them, it will be easier to drift off to sleep.
