Namaste, and thank you for checking in with this bedtime practice.
Sleep is huge isn’t it? It has a huge affect on our general wellbeing and yet it’s something many of us struggle with. When you get a good nights rest, your feel much more able to function and live joyfully.
You may already be trying the usual tricks and suggestions of switching off your technology, having a relaxing bath, reading in bed a little etc… but have you thought about introducing a little Yin Yoga practice as your bedtime ritual? It’s a wonderful idea to try it out, as it declutters a busy mind and releases tension in the body, which creates ahhhhhhh… the right balance and homeostasis for a restful nights sleep.
The recording I have for you is a Yin one, which means you can practice this on the mat or even better – whilst in your jim-jams in bed – why not, who’s looking!? ???? It might be nice to cherry-pick 3 or 4 poses from the hours practice that can form your own unique little bedtime ritual/practice – just see.
Remember that the style of Yin is passive, grounding and involves long deep holds.
– Prepare your mind and body for rest through the Yin asanas
– Let emotions rise and fall, with the breath, as we bring about balance within
– Let go of the days stresses, strains and feelings of heaviness, tightness and inner holding
– Let yourself be held in the safe warm arms of Yin
– The practice benefits from having props and what better than our pillows!

With love and sweetest of dreams, Adele x
