A general idea:
In our present world,
our body is active all day long. It works like a machine and needs some time
for recuperation. Sleep is a very good mode of refuelling the body and hence
plays a crucial role in an individual’s life. If you sleep properly you are
more likely to be rested properly and if you are rested properly then you would
be able to tackle the daily hectic assignments more adequately. A good night
sleeps not just repairs your body muscles but also enhances productivity. There
are many people who are seen suffering from sleep problems. Problems namely
insomnia, poor digestion and unhealthy lifestyle can really cause havoc in
your peaceful sleep. Fortunately there is one way by which you can get rid of
such sleep disorders and that is yoga. Yoga is that genre of exercise which not
just enhances your concentration power but also relieves your body from the
stress and tediousness which has accumulated. It also influences your sleep and
allows you to rest properly and get up in the morning totally energized.
So on that note, here
are some of the popular yoga poses which you can follow to improve your sleep.
Supported inversion:
The pose is to lie
down perpendicularly to an empty wall. Keep your legs on the wall and scoot the
hips to the point where the wall and the carpet met up. Allow your legs to walk
up as long as they are able to. Keep your arms sideways with the palms open and
facing up and at the same time, close your eyes and take deep breaths.
Pigeon pose- both left and right
The pose is to get
down on the floor with all fours and place the right knee behind the right
wrist and with the right foot leftwards. Slowly slide your left leg backwards
and keep a pillow lengthwise to the left side on the right leg. Lay down your
chest and belly on the pillow and allow your arms to relax on either side.
Allow your head to relax on the side it feels comfortable and take deep
breaths. Continue this pose for the opposite side also.
Reclined butterfly:
The pose involves
lying down on your back and putting a pillow lengthwise below the spine. Bring
both the soles of the feet close to a point where they can touch each other and
allow the knees to fall down gently to the sides. Make sure that your hips are
off the pillow and on doing so extend your arms to one side away from the body
and keep your palms facing up.
The reclined spinal twist:
While lying on your
back slowly bend your right knee at the side of your chest and cross it to the
left side of your body. On doing so you will experience the twisting stretch in
the spine region. Extend those arms out forming a T shape with your body. You
can either keep the head facing upwards or for that matter looking right wards
if you want to go for a much deeper neck stretch. Do the same for the opposite
side also.
Concluding lines:
These are some of the
yoga poses which will help you to get a peaceful night sleep every single time.
So try out these out from today onwards!
