Yoga Evening Practice

Hi everyone,

Here another practice you can do in the evenings if you want to wind down. I can really recommend this just before you go to bed, you will sleep much more restful and will wake up more rested. Doing something to bring your awareness from your head into your body should be standard practice every night, whether it is meditation or yoga or some other form that works for you. The thing to keep in mind though is to do something that slows you down.

Have a good nights rest with this one!

Esther

The poses I demonstrate in this practice are:

sphinx pose

reclining big toe pose / supta padangustasana

supine eye of the needle pose

butterfly pose / baddha konasana

wide legged forward fold / upavishta konasana

head to knee pose / janu sirsasana

cross legged forward bend

supine spinal twist

  • Hi, Esther!
    Thank you so much for your videos!!! I’ve only started doing yoga 2 weeks ago and I already feel much better (especially my back – it never felt that LONG=).

    Wanted to ask – are there any yoga practices for women, to feel more feminine? I think i may seem quite feminine to others, but it’s a different story from the inside. maybe there are some asanas that can help me regain contact with my “inner womanly self”=)))))))
