As winter approaches, there is a tendency for regular sleep patterns to destabilize. Decreased exposure to sunlight, especially in the morning, can confuse the body’s internal biological clock; it can’t pinpoint as easily when it is morning and when it is night time. Additionally, according to Ayurvedic philosophy, the cold winds of fall tend to aggravate anxiety and restlessness, which in turn can lead to poorer quality sleep. Thankfully, there are specific yoga and meditation techniques we can harness to help us restore our natural sleep-wake cycles. 

Restoring Rhythmic Sleep includes a series of yoga practices designed to support your rest and vitality during various times of your circadian rhythm. Follow along with a curated selection of mindful movements, conscious breathing, visualization, and Yoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra is a beautiful guided relaxation practice that can support healthy sleep cycles, the release of old tensions, emotional resilience, and much more. These practices will help you rest well when you want to, and be alert and energized when you need to. Together, they support more balanced energy in your daily life.

Restoring Rhythmic Sleep includes five practices, each between 20 and 30 minutes in length, plus a video to learn tips for setting up your Yoga Nidra Nest.
