In this online workshop, release stress, tension, and overwhelm with Yoga2Sleep, a Yoga therapy workshop designed to support a better quality of sleep. This workshop includes personal assessment, pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep), and journaling. Yoga2Sleep uses scientific research in combination with ancient, traditional yogic practices to empower you to achieve better sleep for your best life.
Sleep is an integral function of the parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system. When we don’t get enough sleep, our bodies, brains, and emotions suffer. There is good evidence that cognitive and/or physiological excitement, associated with sustained sympathetic activation, is one of the underlying causes of insomnia.
A large body of evidence-based research supports Yoga therapy protocols that holistically address insomnia and sleeplessness. The multi-layered approach of Yoga therapy uses scientific research in combination with ancient, traditional yogic practices.
This workshop includes:
Live sessions with Pamela on Thursdays at 6:30–8:30 pm ET.
You will have access to the video recordings for 8 weeks after the program ends, until.
In addition, you will have access to the Ashram’s Hatha Yoga classes at 5 pm ET and access to an online social community to connect and communicate with other participants about this course.
