Winding down after a long, busy day can be tricky. Sometimes it requires a bit of effort to switch from work to relaxation mode, but making the transition is essential for getting high-quality rest. When we’ve had a hectic day, we find a little yoga can be just the thing to help us move into a peaceful night. One of our favorite teachers is Jessica Richburg, a 500-hr. certified instructor with a talent for creating calming flows that always leave us feeling ready for bed. Here are a few of her classes we love.
“Yoga For A Relaxing Night’s Sleep”
This 10-minute routine is perfect for those nights when you’re just too tired to roll out your mat. It can be done from the comfort of your bed using nothing but a couple of pillows for support. You’ll be ready for sleep before savasana is finished.
“20 Minute Evening Yoga”
If tight muscles are getting in the way of a good night’s sleep, try this 20-minute class designed to create space and ease in the body. It contains plenty of deep stretches and ends with a long savasana to help you stay calm and comfortable all night long.
“Yin Yoga Class With Props”
For those super stressful days where you really need a bit of quiet time, we recommend this one-hour yin yoga class. It includes gentle stretches with long holds to help release tension from the body. Use the recommended props to make it feel extra restorative.
