That's because many of the poses in yoga are meant to help you slow down and relax — which is exactly what you need before bedtime. If you're looking for some more ways to ease into sleep after a stressful day or workweek, a few easy yoga exercises can do the trick: View this post on Instagram Instagram Post
Easy Yoga Exercises You Can Do Before Going To Bed
Here's a look at six such exercises:
1 Reclining Goddess pose
The reclining goddess pose can be done with your back flat on the floor, or with a bolster under your knees. If you are just starting out and are not comfortable lying down on the floor, this pose might work better for you if you use a pillow or blanket to support your lower back.

Place it diagonally across from one hip so that it supports both hips equally. Lie down, and fold over onto your side so that most of your bodyweight is supported by the prop.

Free up space in front of you to place your hands comfortably on either side of the chest or heart chakra (center between collarbones). To do this pose:
Lie down on your back, and bring your legs out by your side.Bend your knees inward, and form a circular position with your legs as you join your soles together. You should feel a stretch in the groin and surrounding areas - a sign that your muscles are opening up.Drive your legs into the ground till the bottom of your legs touches the floor.

2 Child s Pose
The child's pose is a great, beginner-level pose that can help relieve stress and open up stiff muscles in the body. It's relatively simple to do and doesn't require much flexibility.

To do it, follow these steps:
Lay on your stomach with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.Bend your elbows to prop yourself up, and let your head drop down so that you’re resting on a pillow or towel (or even a folded blanket).Raise your arms straight over you so that they are perpendicular to the floor.
3 Forward Fold
This exercise stretches out many muscles, including in the hamstrings and calves— which can tighten up after a long day of sitting or running around.

It also helps improve spinal flexibility by lengthening muscles that support the spine, such as those in the lower back region. This pose is especially helpful for those who have trouble sleeping due to back pain.

That's because it releases tension from these areas while also calming nerves. Here's how this pose is done:
Start by standing with your feet hip-width apart.Inhale as you raise your arms above your head, and exhale as you fold forward at the hips, bringing your hands towards the floor in front of you.If possible, bring your hands all the way down to the mat; if not, simply rest them on top of each other at shoulder height.

The cat cow pose is a spinal stretch designed to relieve the back of pain or stiffness. It dervies its name from its motions resembling that of a cow, transitioning into the stance of a cat. This is an easy yoga pose most people can do while lying down.

It's one of the best stretches to do. Here's how to do this yoga pose:
Lie on your back, and bend both knees, bringing them close to your hips.Lift the bottom of each foot off the ground, and bring your heels toward your pelvis so that the tops of your feet rest on either side of your pubic bone.Pulling gently with your arms straight above the head, lift from the base of the tailbone up through the crown at least two inches to increase the opening in the groin area for better circulation and flexibility.
