FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO SLEEP?

Tomorrow I will be sharing a few
yoga poses that help us sleep better.

As a result of trying these poses
the mind will be calmer so the
weekend will start in the right way.

The body will be stretched and ready for whatever your weekend holds.

If you plan to join me please bring a towel and a block or a book ⁉️

😴 ELUDING YOU ?

Hero pose is here to help ladies !
The benefits of this pose are many, stretching the thighs and ankles to name two .

Would like to give it a go ❓

❗️If you have undiagnosed knee
pain, it’s not for you.

With a knee injury proceed with
care. ⁉️. Kneel on a folded towel
With the feet just off the edge of
the fold and the whole of the
lower leg on the towel.

Here is how to do hero pose !

Kneel on the ground, knees hip width apart. Rest the tops of the feet on the ground, toes pointing backward.

Exhale and lower hips to heels, easing the squishy bits of the calves out words with your thumbs .

Feel free to place a block horizontally between the feet for ease. Spine is straight, take a few breaths with eyes closed or gaze softened.

For an extra stretch you can put your hands behind you on the mat , fingers pointing forward and lean back slightly. Take care with the neck .

Hope you sleep 💤 well tonight 🙏🏻
