Improve Your Sleep Using Ayurveda, Yoga, And Science

With Louise Baird

This course aims to empower you with knowledge and practical strategies to address issues in your daily life, and night time habits and provide bed time practices to support you in improving the length and quality of your sleep. The first three lessons focus on providing information from Ayurveda and modern science to enable you to make informed choices, and make tweaks to your day to enable better sleep at night. The last two lessons provide practices for falling asleep and dealing with wakefulness in the night.

Brilliant course, I’ll be listening to it again. Thank you 🙏🏻 … and I did. This course is so helpful & teaches the acceptance needed to help stop the worry around not getting enough sleep which leads to that cortisol surge which in turn makes us more wakeful. Thank you again, this is a wonderful course.
