๐ด Struggling to Sleep? Yoga is Your Natural Nightcap! ๐
Is holiday stress, New Year planning, or general tension keeping you awake? It's time to try the benefits of yoga to help you drift off naturally!
Yoga is scientifically proven to improve sleep by addressing the root causes of restlessness:
๐ง How Yoga Helps You Sleep Better:
Calms the Nervous System: Yoga, especially the slow, soothing poses of Yin Yoga, shifts your body from "fight or flight" mode (sympathetic nervous system) into "rest and digest" mode (parasympathetic nervous system). This directly signals your body that it's safe to relax.
Releases Physical Tension: Holding restorative poses helps release physical tension often stored in the hips, shoulders, and spine, which can interfere with finding a comfortable sleep position.
Deepens and Clears the Breath: Yoga focuses on conscious breathing, which can lower your heart rate and quiet a busy mind. Learning these techniques means you have tools to calm yourself if you wake up in the middle of the night.
