Calming yoga poses to help you relax and sleep better at night

Research indicates that yoga activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and better sleep. Poses like Balasana (Child Pose), Supta Matsyendrasana (Supine Twist), Viparita Karani (Legs Up the Wall), Marjaryasana-Bitilasana (Cat-Cow), and Savasana (Corpse Pose) help reduce cortisol levels and regulate sleep cycles, supporting effective insomnia management.
