The Secret to the Best Sleep of Your Life? A Few Simple Moves Before Bed.

Hello!

If you’ve been tossing, turning, or just lying awake with a brain that won’t quit—it’s okay. You’re not doing anything wrong. Life is full, your mind is busy, and rest doesn’t always come easy.

I want to share something that’s been making a huge difference for me that doesn’t involve buying another fancy sleep supplement (though I always recommend a good silk eye pillow like this one or this one).

My favorite short & gentle yoga practice before bed.

Just a few slow stretches. A couple of deep breaths. A pause before the lights go out. It’s less about doing yoga right and more about giving your body a moment to catch up and exhale from the day.

This is one of our favorite evening wind-down yoga flows that was create for anyone hoping to get deep, uninterrupted, soul-nourishing sleep.

Why It Works

A little bit of movement, especially the ones we’ve included in this sequence helps quiet the buzz—physically and mentally. You might not even realize how much you're still carrying until your shoulders start to soften and you feel your breath slow down.

You don’t need a mat. You don’t need to be flexible. You can do this right from your bed!

Bonus Tip: Set the Rhythm

Try your best to keep your sleep and wake times consistent— it doesn’t have to be exact, but giving your body a steady rhythm helps more than most of us realize.

And if you can? Get outside in the morning, even for a few minutes. Let the sun hit your face while you sip your coffee or walk the dog. It wakes your body up in the best way. Same thing at the end of the day—catching even a glimpse of the sunset can help your body start winding down.

Finally, for an extra sleep boost…. if you’d like a guide to ease you into sleep, we made you a bedtime meditation too ;).
