Yoga Poses To Help Treat Insomnia

Sep 1st, 2010 | By admin | Category: Featured, Yoga

Do you suffer from insomnia? There’s a yoga posture (or three) for that.

Such as Shoulderstand (Sarvangasana):

Skip this posture if you’re not familiar or comfortable with it. Or use a wall for support. Otherwise, lie down on the mat on the floor, inhale and while using the momentum of a roll-up, push your body up in the air so that your shoulders rest on the floor and your legs are in the air. Support your hips with your hands. At first, only do a half shoulderstand. To do this, create a “jack-knife” with your body. Place your body at a 45-degree angle, and your legs at the opposite 45-degree angle. Keep your back and legs as straight as possible. Don’t forget to breathe.

Feel your shoulders and back unwind and stay there as long as possible. Pay close attention to your breath. This is a more difficult pose than it seems, so stay focused.
