Bedtime Yoga was far and away the most popular request for a new online class – so here it is!  A bedtime yoga class to stretch out the day and get ready for a restful night.

Sleep can be an emotive subject – especially when we’re not getting enough.  It’s possible to be too tired to sleep – and our ever-increasingly stressful lives often leave us energetically depleted and over stimulated.  So even when bedtime arrives, our brains are still whirring and stress hormones are still flying around our body.  Taking just a little bit of time to consciously unplug from all the go-go-go can help our stress levels to even out and remind ourselves that preparing for bed is just as important as getting to sleep.  The two are interconnected.  Gentle movement unblocks energy and tension sticking points within the body; deep, even breathing helps activate our parasympathetic nervous system – our rest and digest response.  Which is a good place to be at bedtime!

This also works nicely as a gentle flow class for those times where you’re feeling a little low on energy and just need some nurturing.

So go get your comfy PJs on and join me for some bedtime yoga.  Wishing you peaceful nights, my friends!
