One of my Thursday night students says that since she has been back to practicing yoga on a regular basis, she is sleeping so much better. There are nights where after a long day of work, taking care of the kids, dealing with everyday stuff, it is hard to relax and settle into bed. To facilitate our readiness for sleep we can practice yoga. It might be some time sitting with our breath and a hand mudra or it could be a series of poses. There are a lot of references online to bedtime yoga practice, but I have picked two to share for you.
- The Livestrong website has a slideshow called "Nameste at Night". Livestrong recommends that we avoid practicing vigorously before bed, but instead pick a few relaxing poses and some deep breathing over about 20 minutes. There are 13 slides which include a description of 10 poses. This practice is done on your mat. http://www.livestrong.com/slideshow/1009344-namaste-night-10-yoga-moves-remove-stress-relax-bedtime/#slide=1 - Women's Health Magazine website has a 13 slide practice for bedtime done on your bed called "Yoga for Bed" by Tara Stiles. It is a nice relaxing practice. http://www.womenshealthmag.com/yoga/bedtime-yoga Please remember, when you try any practice to listen to your body and do not try anything you are unsure of. Do you have a yoga practice that helps you to relax at night? Please share it.

Hello everyone, I am from Wembley, Britain. I want to write this testimony to tell others and thank Dr. Odunga for what he has done for me. The first 12 years of my marriage I had 5 miscarriages and I was called all sorts of names by my mother-in-law and this my marriage life was very hectic and a burden of sorrow. I contacted Dr. Odunga for help and I will say that he is a very strong and honest man and he indeed helped me solve my problem. I saw his email in a testimony and I contacted him, little did I know it would be the end of all my problems. After 2 days of contact, I received a fertility herb and he told me to use it. The herb worked and my husband even loved me more and bought me expensive things. One afternoon, I went to a nearby hospital and came back home with the positive result of my pregnancy and after 9 months I gave birth to a baby boy. Ever since I contacted Dr. Odunga, my story has been different. I have 3 children at present and I am very happy in my marriage.
