Sleep can evade us for many reasons. Too much blue light exposure, a head full of worries, too much caffeine, shift work, physical pain or a room that’s too warm. When I chat with others and through my own experience it’s mostly the head full of worries that has us tossing and turning.
Once each month I host a Restorative Yoga session and the NUMBER 1 thing I hear the next day is “I slept so well last night”
Â
The reasons for this miraculous deep sleep?Â
– we release physical tension through gentle stretching
– we down regulate the nervous system through breath work
– we journal to get our worries out of our minds and onto paper
– we meditate to bring the mind into a theta brainwave state
– we drink herbal tea to induce sleepiness
– we practice late in the evening right before bedtime

My intention for these sessions is to provide a space for the Vitality Vibe Community to come together. A space to feel connected to each other, to feel supported and safe, a space to inspire, to learn, a space to share our thoughts, to influence one another and to feel a sense of belonging.Â
