We practice few postures that calm the system and promote relaxation, they can also help to aid an undisturbed sleep. In this brief practice that can be performed just before bedtime, I suggest a head supported version of Urdha Mukha Svanasana (dog facing down), a calming Janu Sirsasana (head to knee posture) and a supported Pachimottanasana (forward stretch). The powerful forward bending is excellent to calm the body and the mind, soothing the nervous system. We finish with naturally observing the abdominal breath, a relaxation that can be performed in bed. Enjoy a peaceful rest...
