Better Sleep Through Gentle Movement

Relax Your Body • Quiet Your Mind • Restore Your Energy

A restful night’s sleep begins before your head hits the pillow.

Throughout the day, physical tension, stress, and mental activity can make it difficult for the body to fully relax. Gentle stretching before bed can help release that tension, calm the nervous system, and prepare your body for restorative sleep.

Hero Pose: Encourages grounding and relaxation.

Child’s Pose: Releases tension in the back and shoulders.

Upward Dog: Opens the chest and stretches the front of the body.

Camel Pose: Gently stretches the chest and hips.

Butterfly Fold: Relaxes tight hips and inner thighs.

Supine Twist: Eases stiffness through the back.

Bridge Pose: Supports hip mobility and spinal strength.

Knee-to-Chest: Gently releases lower-back tension.

Corpse Pose: Encourages complete relaxation and mindful breathing.

Create Your Evening Ritual

Spend approximately 20 seconds in each comfortable position, moving slowly and breathing deeply. Choose the stretches that feel best for your body.

Remember: Better sleep isn’t only about how long you rest. It’s also about how you prepare your mind and body for rest.

Small movements can make a meaningful difference in your evening routine.
