Sleep Like a Baby
Most of us didn’t get enough sleep before the pandemic. In a recent Discover article, researchers suggested that lack of sleep (along with stress and loneliness) can weaken your immune system and thereby may make you more susceptible to disease, including COVID 19. Next time you have trouble sleeping, apply this yoga pose with long deep breaths. With each exhale, allow yourself to sink more deeply into the posture letting go of stress and tension in the body. Child’s pose has also been shown to bring calm to the brain.
This posture is not recommended for those with knee injuries or who are pregnant.
