Yoga for Better Sleep & Deep Relaxation

Sleep disorders affect millions. Learn the specific yoga asanas, pranayama techniques, and bedtime rituals that promote deep, restorative sleep naturally.

Good sleep is not a luxury — it is the foundation of health. Yet stress, screens and irregular routines leave millions of people tired but wired at night.

A 15-minute bedtime sequence

  1. Balasana (child’s pose) — 1 minute, breathing into the back.
  2. Supta Baddha Konasana (reclined bound angle) — 2 minutes with pillows under the knees.
  3. Viparita Karani (legs up the wall) — 3–5 minutes to calm the nervous system.
  4. Bhramari — 5 rounds of gentle humming.
  5. Yoga Nidra or body scan — until you drift off.

Daily habits that support sleep

  • Dim lights and put screens away 45 minutes before bed.
  • Eat dinner at least 2–3 hours before sleeping.
  • Wake up at the same time every day — even weekends.
  • Get morning sunlight within an hour of waking.

When to seek help

If insomnia lasts more than a few weeks or you snore heavily and wake up exhausted, talk to your doctor. Our therapy program for insomnia can complement medical care.
