Good sleep is what all we need in this crazy lifestyle, We are going to tell you that bedtime yoga flow can help you to reduce insomnia and help you to sleep well. Yoga is a gentle and restorative way to wind down your day. Surveys found that over 55% of people who did yoga found that it helped them get better sleep. One possible reason explained for better sleep quality in Yoga practitioners is that Yoga exercises involve stretching and relaxing of muscles causing significant physical and mental exertion resulting in less sleep latency, more deep sleep, fewer sleep disturbances, and better sleep efficiency

We also strongly believe that the way we practice has as much significance as what we practice, so we recommend you prepare a suitable environment, candles, and some pleasant scents, and do a calming yoga sequence. You can find relevant flow programs on our top lists and take advantage of them.

Whether you have insomnia or occasionally struggle with sleep, going through a wind-down routine helps you fall asleep and stay asleep through the night. If you prefer to do a yoga routine even before bedtime we recommend these 5 Yoga asanas to do every day for better sleep:

  • Wide leg Child’s pose or Balasana - It's very effective when it comes to helping you fall asleep. Rest your chest and your belly on a firm pillow. Make sure your butt touches your ankles and stretch your hands as much as you can. Focus your breathing while you are in this pose for 25-30 seconds. Repeat after every 15 - 20 seconds.
