### Bedtime Yoga in Bed for Better Sleep []

Welcome to yoga. Today's gentle yoga stretch can be done entirely in bed to help prepare you for a better sleep. It's great to help you relieve tension, restless legs, or anything else you need to let go of so that you can have a great night's sleep. When you're ready, we'll begin in a simple seated position like this. We'll start with our neck.

Lowering your chin down towards your chest. Deepen your breath in and out through your nose. Let your head hang heavy and allow your mind to settle on the sensation you feel within each stretch. Now if it feels good, you can rock your head side to side gently. Just exploring movement and range of motion. Never pushing into or past pain or pinching. Accept your body for where it is today. Draw your chin back up to center.

But since this is a very relaxing, deep stretch, take your feet a little bit wider than you normally would and bend your knees a little bit deeper than you normally would. Go ahead and walk your hips out from underneath you. Grab your hips and pull them out if that helps. Almost as if you were going into like a seated squat variation. Slowly walk yourself forward using your hands to support you. and fold in between your legs a little deeper with each breath out. Can you release the weight of your head? Can you relax your jaw and your shoulders? And if you'd like to take it deeper, take another moment to just lengthen your spine and push your heels away from your body. Inhale, a little bit more length out of your hips. And exhale, fold a little bit deeper for just a couple more deep breaths here. This kind of forward fold is very good for calming a racing mind. It's a great way to breathe your body back into its parasympathetic nervous system. the safe, quiet, rest and digest nervous system. So take one more big breath here and when you're ready slowly rise and come to lie down on your back at your own pace, your own terms.

Once you're down on your back, just take your feet flat, knees bent, and allow your spine to soften into its natural curves. Notice how your deep and slow breath acts like an internal massage, relaxing your body from the inside out. Add a figure four by placing your right ankle to your left knee.

One more big breath in and out. Lower your left foot back down onto your bed if you lifted it up. Extend your right foot up towards the ceiling. Interlace your hands behind your right thigh. And slowly begin to straighten and bend your right leg, getting into your right hamstring. If you're feeling flexible, you can walk your hands up towards your calf or your ankle. Even take a yogi toe hold. But even grabbing onto the back of your thigh and slowly just extending your heel should help you to release tension from your calf, hamstring, and drain the fluid from your leg like a half legs up the wall. Next time your leg is straight or straighter, keep it there and just roll out your ankle and switch direction. And lower your right foot down.

It's natural for your mind to wander, process the day that you just had. If at any point you find that your mind has gone too far down some train of thought, remember that you can always bring it back by becoming more aware of your breath and the sensation you feel within this stretch. Extend your left heel up to the ceiling, interlacing your hands underneath your left thigh. Slowly bend and straighten your left leg. allowing breath and sensation to anchor you into this present and relaxed moment.
