Sleep and yoga have a bidirectional relationship: regular yoga practice can improve sleep quality, while adequate sleep supports better practice. If you have insomnia or poor sleep quality, yoga may be a natural solution worth trying.
Yoga improves sleep by balancing the nervous system, releasing body tension, and calming scattered thoughts. Especially Yin yoga, relaxing stretches, and breathwork effectively activate the parasympathetic nervous system (the "rest and digest" mode), preparing for sleep.
Try simple relaxation practices before bed: legs up the wall, supine twists, and slow deep breathing. Avoid too vigorous practice before bed, which can over-energize the body. Find an evening ritual that prepares your body and mind for sleep, making every night a restorative one.
