HW: Bedtime yoga to help you sleep
Cow face with eagle arms
Sitting on the floor cross your left leg over the right until one knee is directly on top of the other. It may feel more comfortable to place a block or cushion under yourself to raise the hips. This will give you a better opportunity to sit tall in the pose if your hips are tight. Breath in deeply and you lift through the tip of your head to elongate the spine. Open your arms to the world during the inhale as well. On your exhale cross the arms and bend at the elbows. Raise and cross your forearms and bend your wrists so your palms may touch and create a bind. Rotate your shoulders outward and keep your elbows parallel to the ground. Be mindful that if your hands drift towards your face to gently move to that your fingertips point straight up to the sky. Enjoy this hip and shoulder opener, switch sides, and repeat just before you drift off to sleep.
