Alright, self-care queens, let’s talk about something we all need more of—deep, restful sleep. If you’ve ever spent the night tossing and turning, staring at the ceiling, or scrolling Instagram at 2 AM, it’s time for a new bedtime ritual. And no, we’re not talking about melatonin gummies (though they can help!). We’re talking yoga—your new secret weapon for better sleep.
Studies show that gentle yoga before bed can lower stress, relax the nervous system, and improve sleep quality. A 2020 study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found that yoga helps reduce insomnia, improve sleep efficiency, and promote overall relaxation. So, if you’re ready to drift off like a peaceful little cloud, here are five relaxing yoga poses to help you unwind at night. Personally, I like to do these in my bedroom on a yoga mat with the lights off and some zen white noise sounds on right before hopping into bed. Try them out. And if you have a dog like I do or kids, maybe they’ll join you!
