Tossing & Turning? Try This Yoga Flow Before Reaching for Melatonin

If sleep feels like a distant dream, try this: instead of grabbing a supplement, move gently. A few mindful poses can help quiet your mind, settle your body, and invite deep, natural rest.

These poses are simple, soothing, and perfect for winding down at the end of the day:

Legs-Up-the-Wall (Viparita Karani) – Total nervous system reset. Think: instant calm.

Seated Forward Fold (Paschimottanasana) – Lengthens the spine, softens the breath, slows the thoughts.

Cat-Cow (Bitilasana/Marjaryasana) – Gentle motion to release tension from your spine and mind.

Child’s Pose (Balasana) – Feels like a warm hug. Grounding, safe, and still.

Standing Forward Bend (Uttanasana) – Let gravity help you let go.

Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana) – Opens the chest and calms the brain, preparing your body to rest.

Yoga isn’t just about movement—it’s nervous system magic. These shapes, this breath, this quiet moment with yourself? They matter. And they work.

Try this flow tonight. Let your body lead you home to rest.

Drop a 💤 if you’re winding down with me.

Sweet dreams. 🧘‍♀️
