Lektion 1

Yoga And Sleep

This lesson discusses how yoga and other mind–body practices support our sleep. It covers research showing that yoga specifically has been shown to help us sleep better (or feel that we have slept better), and hypotheses on why that might be.

Lektion 2

Yoga Nidra And Sleep

This lesson focuses specifically on the guided relaxation practice of yoga nidra and its effects on sleep. It highlights research that yoga nidra can help us sleep better, and discusses hypotheses on why that might be.

Lektion 3

Gentle Yoga Practice

A gentle physical yoga practice could be a lovely way to end your day and help you sleep better when you actually go to bed, by stretching your muscles, relieving tension, and helping you feel less stressed and more relaxed. This is a simple yoga practice that you can try after work.

Lektion 4

Short Grounding Meditation

Incorporating meditation and other still practices could also help us feel more ready for sleep and/or sleep better. This is a short, grounding meditation that you can do any time to find a moment of stillness in your day.

Lektion 5

Yoga Nidra For Sleep 1

This is a yoga nidra practice specifically designed to help you sleep, although you can use it any time you like. If you are not using it for sleep, set an alarm clock for 20 minutes to bring you back.

Lektion 6

Yoga Nidra Sleep Companion 2

This is the second yoga nidra practice in this course, which again is designed to help you fall asleep and doesn't bring you back at the end. If you are not practicing for sleep but just to relax, set an alarm clock for 20 minutes.
