Unplug with Yoga Sleep: Bhilwara Initiative Promotes Relaxation and Stress Relief
Morning Yoga Classes Bring Yoga Sleep to Bhilwara
Bhilwara, India – Early risers in Bhilwara have been starting their days with a unique twist on relaxation, thanks to yoga classes organized by Shri Keshav Smriti Seva Prarthana and Kashipuri Advocate Colony Mahesh Committee. These classes, held at Suzuki Enclave Garden on Chittorgarh Road from 6:00 am to 7:00 am, have introduced residents to the concept of yoga sleep.
Yoga Sleep: A Quick Relaxation Technique
According to Govind Prasad Sodani, the yoga instructor leading these sessions, yoga sleep is an excellent option for quick relaxation and stress relief. He explained, “
Lie down on the bench, leave the feet and hands loose, keep the eyes closed. Gently relax each part of your body, starting from the toes to the head, and then back. No part of the body should be left out.
”
Practicing Yoga Sleep
- Find a comfortable position, either lying down or sitting on a chair.
- Close your eyes and relax your body.
- Starting with your toes, mental scan each part of your body, releasing tension as you go.
- Avoid actual sleep, especially if practicing during the day.
Benefits of Yoga Sleep
Sodani emphasized that just two to five minutes of yoga sleep practice can reduce fatigue and stress. He added, “
It is a deep state of relaxation, the act of reducing sleep. Its practice is beneficial for those who do intellectual work two or three times a day.
“
Unplug Anywhere, Anytime
One of the appeals of yoga sleep is its convenience. Whether on a break at work or commuting, anyone can practice yoga sleep, finding a quiet moment to relax and rejuvenate.
Unlock Deep Relaxation
Sodani also suggested an alternative method for yoga sleep, “
Feel lying on the bed that your body is loose and you are different from it. It is a powerful compound exercise that gives you deep relaxation in a short time.
” This method encourages disassociation from physical tension, allowing for profound relaxation.
