Yoga isn’t just beneficial for improving core strength, flexibility, and stress levels; it can also help you sleep better—especially if you suffer from insomnia.
When people who have insomnia practice yoga regularly, they sleep for LONGER, fall asleep FASTER, and return to sleep more QUICKLY if they wake up in the middle of the night.
The health implications of sleep deprivation are shocking. It's been shown that when the brain is starved of sleep, its synapses begin to be 'eaten' by other cells in the brain. What's more, a lack of sleep can trigger the release of a chemical in the brain that could lead to Alzheimer’s disease.
There are two main ways that yoga helps to revive the body. It aids the release of toxins that can get stored in tissues and organs, and also, the complex breathing exercises increase the circulation of oxygen, which is vital for replenishment.
One way to improve sleep is to do a burst of yoga before bedtime, our evenings classes are designed to help you release the day and wind down for the best night sleep. Because good sleep = better health. 💤🖤
