Iyengar Yoga for Beginners. Yoga for Insomnia Collection.

Yoga for Insomnia Collection. Iyengar Yoga for Beginners.
Top 5 poses for helping you to sleep. The Yoga for Insomnia Collection is a led practice. In this Collection, we show a yoga sequence, combining poses from the Yoga for Insomnia series for releasing tension and soothing the nervous system. We recommend that you do the individual tutorials for each of these poses which you can find in our Yoga for Insomnia playlist: bit.ly/2zyEGZ5
The poses are:
Adho Mukha Virasana
Dandasana
Supta Baddha Konasana
Setu Bandha Sarvangasana
Savasana
The poses we teach in this series will help to calm the nervous system and over time, can help those who suffer from insomnia to improve their sleep patterns.
This is a very helpful sequence for those recovering from illness.
This Yoga for Insomnia Series, has 5 poses which are all good for helping you get to sleep. This Collection is good to do as yoga for bedtime. Do all 5 poses separately to learn the poses, but in this Yoga for Insomnia Collection, Lin does the classic versions of the poses and Leo shows a modified version.
Yoga works on both a physical and a mental level and the poses in this series all help to pacify the body and mind. Do a daily yoga practice and soon the body and mind will find it easier to regulate.
Our Yoga Pose Directory offers both Beginners Yoga and poses for more Intermediate yoga students.
Yoga with Lin and Leo for free yoga classes. See the Yoga for Beginners series for online yoga workouts specifically for Complete Beginners. Check out our 30 days of yoga series for a 30 day yoga challenge. Yoga practice can improve strength and flexibility and yoga for back pain relief and yoga for weight loss has been supported by many studies.
We will be combining some of the yoga poses in the Pose directory, into yoga sequences, designed to open particular parts of the body.
Join Yoga with Lin and Leo for safe, detailed instruction from experienced Iyengar yoga teachers. Although we would always suggest that you find a certified Iyengar yoga teacher so that you can attend a class near you, this channel has yoga sequences to help you practice your yoga at home.
Yoga is not a sport but regular practice of yoga sequences can improve fitness levels. Practiced correctly, yoga will stretch muscles and strengthen joints, as well as helping with mental and physical wellbeing; indeed many studies have shown that yoga can have remarkable effects on problems with back pain, shoulder pain and neck pain as well as demonstrating positive effects on mental health problems such as depression, stress and general anxiety. www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10...

Thank you for this awesome channel and for share your wisdom with that fantastic sessions.

[@moiranewton4982]

This is a yummy sequence. Is it correct to have the brick upright under the bottom of the back for that pose (can't remember its name). Thank you.

[@YogawithLinandLeo]

Hi Moira. Thanks for the comment. Yes , if you can manage the upright brick, it goes on the sacrum at the base of the spine and this should be comfortable. If this is a bit difficult at this stage, use 3 or 4 foam pads stacked horizontally instead. We hope this helps! Namaste 🙏. Lin and Leo

@@YogawithLinandLeo ​ @Yoga with Lin and Leo Thank you for your fabulous channel. I had a very good iyengar teacher here in Auckland New Zealand but she had to stop for personal reasons and I am so pleased to continue learning the techniques.

[@YogawithLinandLeo]

Thanks Moira. We are really glad to be able to help Iyengar students around the globe 🌎 to maintain their practice. Let us know how you get on. 🙏. Lin and Leo

[@rahulshah296]

What is the right time to do these poses?

[@YogawithLinandLeo]

Hello Rahul. Thanks for the question. This practice would be good as an evening practice to help settle the mind and the body. However, it is perfectly fine to insert individual poses from this sequence towards the end of a more dynamic practice, which you might want to do earlier in the day, or indeed to add this practice to the end of a sequence of standing poses. We do hope this helps. Kind regards. Lin and Leo

[@rahulshah296]

Thank you.

[@vanessabarker8463]

Lovely relaxing sequence but ads are distracting. Are you able to do anything about this?

[@YogawithLinandLeo]

Hello Vanessa. Thank you for letting us know. We do allow ads at the beginning of our videos, but last year, KZbin changed its ad policy and automatically placed ads throughout all its content unless the content creator dictated otherwise. We have many hundreds of films in our back catalogue and we would have to go through each one individually to ensure that ads don''t intrude in the middle. As we don't have a team and the two of us are involved in trying to keep the yoga studio afloat in these troublesome times, It is only when viewers like yourself let us know, that we can do anything about it. Much appreciated and please do send us a comment if you find others! Namaste. Lin and Leo 🙏

[@YogawithLinandLeo]

Hi. Just to let you know that we have managed to get through the back catalogue and have taken out the majority of the ads which had been automatically placed in most of our videos. We are hoping that this will improve the viewing experience for you and any of our viewers who have had problems with this. Please do let us know. Namaste. Lin and Leo 🙏
