Treating insomnia with yoga
Anil Shastry has some tips on overcoming insomnia through yoga.
Yoga exercises for insomnia are organized into a three-part sequence. They are designed to help you unwind mentally and physically and prepare you to sleep.
1. Use breathing techniques to relax for five minutes to unwind from daily activities.
2. Do gentle stretches for ten minutes. When doing the exercises listen to your body and be guided by it. Stretch only as far and as often as is comfortable. Do only those asanas or postures you can achieve comfortably.
3. Use breathing relaxation or yoga nidra for ten minutes.
