Yoga for Sleep
Having trouble sleeping? Add some yoga to your routine for a goooood night’s rest!
Practice some or all the following yoga poses and/or breathing techniques during the day, before bedtime, or when you wake up during the night. Practice each technique for 3 to 5 minutes. Combining the poses with the breathing technique will give you an extra boost! Except for Corpse Pose where you just chill and maintain your normal breath.
Benefits of Yoga Therapy for Chronic Pain
The American College of Physicians now recommends yoga and other alternatives to prescription drugs for chronic low-back pain, saying that opioids and more invasive treatments should be used only after other approaches have failed. A number of other key organizations, including the Academic Consortium for Integrative Medicine & Health, agree and have laid out their position in resources such as Moving Beyond Medications.
SAM Sather and Jaclyn Sappah are certified yoga therapists through the International Association of Yoga Therapists (C-IAYT) https://www.iayt.org/default.aspx and have specialized training to help those with living with Chronis Pain. Pain that lasts 3 months or more—well beyond the time most injuries take to “heal”—is usually considered to be chronic. Chronic pain, including low-back pain, results from the interaction of many causes. This complexity makes it difficult to treat and is one factor behind the opioid crisis in the United States and elsewhere.
In 2017 NIH published a study noting that certain types of yoga practices can be as effective as physical therapy. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/yoga-eases-moderate-severe-chronic-low-back-pain. Caution: be sure you work with a Yoga Therapist that has been trained in this area and also be sure that the yoga class is designed for this. Having a private session with a Yoga Therapist to work with you individually is a smart idea.
