Yoga isn’t just good for your body, it can help improve your sleep too. These are the top nine poses to try tonight. When quality sleep is hard to get, you’ll try just about anything to chase it. Many sleep hacks have promising results, like reading in bed or having a soothing cup of tea. But if those don’t work for you, try one of our favorite calming activities: Light yoga before bed. Cat-cow pose To get into this pose, start on your hands and knees. Your hands should be shoulder-width apart, and your knees should be below your hips. Take a deep breath and tilt your head towards the ceiling while also sticking up your pelvis — this should mimic a “cow.” Then, on your exhale, arch your back and bring both your head and pelvis down like a “cat.” You can repeat these two motions a few times before moving on. Bridge pose Start by lying down on your back, legs and arms stretched out and on the ground. Take a deep breath, raise your core off the ground and shift your arms closer to your body to balance. Your knees should be at a 90-degree angle. Your hands can lie flat, or you can bring them together underneath your core. Child’s pose
You can start this pose by kneeling or getting on your hands and knees. Tuck your feet underneath your hips and bring your head close to the ground. Reach your hands out in front of you, stretching your spine. The further you reach, the better the stretch will be for you.
