5 Yoga Poses to Cure Insomnia
If you’re suffering from insomnia it may feel like sleep will
never come again. Instead of lying in bed, try this yoga for insomnia
series.
As someone who has struggled off and on with insomnia, I know how rough it can be. You’re exhausted, and you’re lying in the dark, staring at the ceiling, but sleep just. won’t. come. Maybe your thoughts are racing, or maybe you feel like your body can’t settle down so that your brain can let go. If you deal with sleeplessness, yoga for insomnia may be able to help you sleep better and sleep more deeply

The causes of insomnia are complicated, and yoga isn’t going to be a
cure-all for every person who suffers from this condition. It’s
definitely helped me and other folks that I know, though so I recommend
giving it a go. You’re awake anyway, right ?
If you’re new to yoga, I would suggest taking a couple of classes before practicing on your own.
The poses below are pretty basic, but learning how to properly align
your body is part of yoga’s benefit and can help prevent injury. Even a
few classes with a teacher can help you get a feel for how your body
should be aligned. Most teachers will take requests, so you can ask if
it would be OK to include these yoga for insomnia postures in class.
