Poses for sleep and back care

Published: Nov 16, 2018 by Lucy Tennyson

This week, we enjoyed a calming session of deep stretches designed to help us relax and prepare for a good night’s sleep.

You can do these any time in the evening to suit you, and before an evening meal if you tend to eat later. Afterwards, I would try and have a quiet evening, cutting out the use of electronic devices with blue light that is said to upset our sleep patterns. And of course no caffeine after 2pm!

The first part of our sequence this week  is also a good routine for back care, starting off with plenty of warm up stretches on the floor.

In between, you can add in a few more active postures if you wish, standing and sitting cross legged. Then finishing with the relaxing floor based stretches and ending with a relaxation.

Here is a reminder of some of our class this week

Here is an energising sequence including both sun and moon salutations. You don’t have to do it all of course, it would take at least an hour, but select some of it to fit in with the time you have. Make sure you end with some stretches and a short relaxation.
