People all across the world are experiencing more people with sleep disorders and deficits than ever before. India is the second-most sleep-deprived nation in the world, with an average person sleeping for seven hours and one minute. Between 50 and 70 million Americans experience chronic sleep problems, which have an influence on everyday activities and long-term health. Some of the things that can be interfering with our sleep are stress and a hectic lifestyle. By reducing stress and relaxing the body and mind to better prepare them for sleep, yoga can help enhance sleep quality.
Everyday asana, pranayama, and meditation techniques can improve your quality of sleep.
- Surya namaskar
If performed gently in the evening, this flowing series of poised poses honors the radiant energy of the sun and skillfully channels it inside. Each step of this elegant tango between power and submission lengthens the limbs and encourages the release of tension.
2. Yashtikasana
This Stick Pose brings peace to the body and mind with its firm stillness and little stretch. The stretches’ meditative rhythm acts as a harmonizing force that compels the body-mind complex to give up its unrest.
3. Bhadrasana
This position is like the graceful unfolding of flowers in its auspiciousness. It stretches, strengthens, and gradually relieves stiffness. It gives sore muscles a break and gradually releases the tension in the lower body’s muscular groups.
4. Bhramari
At bedtime, The Bee Breath echoes like a hymn of profound tranquility. The weary mind is gently guided by this exercise away from the cacophony of the outside world. The vibrations muffle the cacophony of unsettling ideas as one harmoniously imitates a bee’s drone.
5. Abdominal breathing
Every intake and exhale is orchestrated by this pulsating symphony of the breath. The abdomen moves steadily up and down like a lullaby, lulling the mind into a deep state of relaxation.
