Our days can be tough to wind down from, often leaving us staring at the ceiling, trying to go to sleep at some ungodly hour, counting the time we have left to actually sleep before the alarm goes off. Yoga is a great way to calm the mind and signal to the body that it's time for rest. This nightly routine takes just about ten minutes and can be done by anyone, regardless of your experience AND it can be done in your bedroom, on your bed if you'd like, in your pajamas. Try to shut off the "am I doing this right?" demons that live in your heads, and to settle into each posture for about 2 minutes each (or whatever feels like 2 minutes). Main goal: don't stress too hard. Make it a little routine. Make it an event, making it special if you can, by lighting a candle. Make it your nightly ritual for a week or two* and see if it helps you fall asleep quicker than usual.
