On day 29 of our 30 day new year yoga challenge we will be talking about what kind of yoga you should do when you are tired. If you experience insomnia and anxiety and you are looking for the best yoga for a sound sleep, then you are in the right place. I am going to share with you the best yoga that you can do an night and even yoga that you can do in bed for a good night sleep.

Yoga nidra or Sleep Yoga is a form of meditation where you get the benefits of meditation and a deep night sleep. If you have practiced yoga before you will be familiar with savasana or corpse pose where you lie down at the end of a yoga class. Yoga nidra is kind of like that except you get to lie down for longer while you are guided through rotating your consciousness through your body.

Yoga nidra will slow your body down and allow for deep restoration. When you are sleeping, your sleep can often be quite restless and not actually restful. If you carry the tension of your day into your sleeping hours then your unconscious mind keeps going and you can be working the tension of your day out all night long. During yoga nidra your heart rate slows, your blood pressure slows, your endocrine system is given a chance to recover. One of the most famous yoga teachers of our time, Dharma Mittra says that even 20 minutes of yoga nidra or sleep yoga is equal to two hours of sleep. If you practice for 60-90 minutes he says it is equivalent to 4 hours of sleep.
