Let’s talk Bed Yoga
With lots of talk about The Rest Club starting soon, a lot of you have been asking me: “What the heck is bed yoga?!”.
So for those of you who don’t know, bed yoga is quite simply, gentle yogic stretches performed in or on your bed! There are so many reasons why this is good for you, my favourite reasons are:
Deeply relaxing
Improved sleep
Gentle accessable movement
Low impact practice when you are injured or ill
Supports nervous system health
Nourishing and calming
This can be especially beneficial if you are in high-stress times, are low on energy or even unwell. This gentle practice offers you accessible, yogic movement to keep you grounded and ensure you’re melting that “fuzz” in the morning and unwinding for proper sleep at night at the end of the day.
Now you don’t have to worry- this is not a practice that means you’ll be standing and doing warrior II on your bed, wobbling about; this is a much more ‘stretch and release’ practice really focusing on keeping your body mobile and stress-free without heavy impact.
Regardless of your physical abilities or strength there is benefit to be found for everyone in a gentler practice. It is possible to do less, receive more and still be a good person!
