Yoga for insomnia: Incorporating these yoga poses into your routine can lead to improved sleep over time. Focus on deep, slow breathing throughout the routine, and listen to your body, modifying poses as needed for comfort.
Yoga expert Swati suggests 4 stretches (malasana variation, side body stretch, puppy pose, cat-cow) for tired or sore muscles, even while travelling. Malasana stretches hip flexors and adductors, improves hip mobility and spinal alignment. Side body stretch targets latissimus dorsi and oblique muscles, improves breathing and is meditative. Puppy pose opens shoulders, chest, and upper back, reduces stress and tension. Cat-cow strengthens the spine and improves flexibility. All stretches improve blood flow, relaxation, and joint mobility. But listen to your body and consult a healthcare professional if needed.
