5 yoga asanas to get better sleep

Having trouble sleeping? These four yoga asanas will have you falling asleep faster than counting sheep.

If you suffer from sleep deprivation, you should try a few yoga asanas to alleviate the condition. Many of us find it difficult to fall asleep, and we often find ourselves tossing and turning in an attempt to catch up on sleep.

The good news is that a simple yoga session can aid us with sleep pattern regulations. Yoga does not have to be an intensive, heart-pounding workout. In reality, the extremely subtle and minute adjustments brought about by the poses to your body are some of the most beneficial aspects of a mild yoga practice done at home.

Five yoga asanas for better sleep:

1. TRIKONASANA:

Trikonasana is divided into two parts. First, turn left, then right. Standing with legs 3 feet apart and perfectly straight is the posture.

The triangle position is beneficial for stretching the legs and knee muscles. Also, stretch the hamstrings, calf muscles, and shoulders. Regular exercise would therefore strengthen these physical parts. It helps reduce stress, which leads to better sleep.

2. BHUJANGASANA:

Bhujangasana is a back-bending, reclining asana. It strengthens the spine while stretching the chest, shoulders, and abdomen. The posture helps the body release weariness and tension.

3. HALASANA:

The Plow Pose, or Halasana, stretches the spine, shoulders, and backs of the legs, opening the upper back and chest. It stimulates the stomach organs and relaxes the mind, promoting restful sleep. Lay on your back with your arms at your sides, palms down, for this pose. Then, using your core muscles, lift your feet off the floor and raise your legs vertically.
Do this while taking a deep breath. Allow your legs to sweep over your head at a 180-degree angle until your toes contact the floor. This pose is especially beneficial to ladies going through menopause.

4. VAJRASANA WITH SUPPORT:

Vajrasana calms us down and relieves stress and anxiety. As a result, it aids us in getting a good night's sleep. It also aids in digestion and the reduction of belly fat. It has been proven to help people lose weight.

5. JANU SIRSASANA:

Janu sirsasana is a good stretch for hamstrings and calves that are stiff. The head-to-knee pose is also beneficial for reducing tension and relaxing the mind.  Read More...
