International Association of Yoga Therapists and benefits of sound therapy:

Sound has been used therapeutically in both complementary and allopathic medicine for many years. For example, ultrasound technology, which is inaudible, is ubiquitous in Western healthcare. Many yoga therapists are trained in other types of sound therapies, often musical ones.

While some of us will use the holidays rest and recuperate, others may still find it hard to sleep with all the changes to your routine. To enjoy a restful night's sleep, it is essential to practise good sleep hygiene.

Most of us know that this involves less screen time and alcohol just before bed, but many of us resist the idea because watching the TV with a glass of wine is an excellent way to wind down. Unfortunately, this habit doesn't really help you relax. It stimulates the nervous system, preventing you from sleeping well.

Try these tips ahead of your night's sleep:

- Avoid blue light. Try wearing blue light glasses if you are using your phone, laptop or watching TV before bed.
- Switch your phone to flight mode.
- Your bedroom should be cool, airy, silent and dark.
- Don't eat or drink alcohol

A racing mind and breathing irregularities both contribute to insomnia.

Try these tips to help you with your night's sleep.

A new gold standard for the treatment of PTSD?

Our understanding of trauma has developed—and changed—significantly in the past 20 years, and so has our understanding of how to help people suffering from trauma. A new randomized controlled trial published in JAMA Network Open showed that Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is as effective as cognitive processing therapy (CPT), the current gold standard of care at the Veterans Administration.
