Yoga for better sleep

Can yoga help me sleep? A gentle evening practice with slow stretching and calm breathing can help your body wind down before bed. Keep the lights low, the pace slow, and avoid intense flows late at night.

Helpful tips

  • Practice 30 to 60 minutes before bed, in dim light.
  • Choose slow, floor-based movement, not a workout.
  • Try a guided relaxation (lying down) if your mind stays busy.
