Try these gentle yoga stretches for a good night’s rest. Here are the best yoga poses for sleep. How often do you have trouble falling asleep at night because your mind is still racing from the day and worrying about the next? You aren’t alone, and luckily, there are plenty of tricks that can help me at bedtime (such as reading, drinking a hot cup of herbal tea, or journaling). But if those tips aren’t enough, and you’re still struggling to get some shut-eye, try to practice a few yoga poses to try to get to sleep. Try out these yoga poses for better sleep. Forward fold This pose is as easy as standing up straight and leaning over to reach for your toes. If you are able, place your hands on the ground. If you are unable to touch your toes, you can do a half-forward fold and grab below your knees. Looking for a challenge? Try reaching around your ankles and holding. Make sure your back is straight and you are taking deep breaths. Happy baby An easy pose to transition into after Bridge start this pose on your back. Lift your legs to the ceiling and out a little past your shoulders (or however far you can go). Then, grab onto the outside of your feet with both hands. Gently rock left and right to relieve tension in your lower back. Seated twist If you are coming out of Child’s pose for this next one, sit back up and extend your legs out in front of you. Cross one leg over the other, pulling the heel of the crossed leg on your outer thigh. With the opposite arm, cross your body and twist yourself, pushing with your elbow on the raised knee. Twist and breathe. Repeat with the other side before moving on.
