Relax and sleep away in seconds....

Learnt something at yoga today that can help with any mental issues, be in insomnia, stress and even depression. This technique can also help us have a more restful sleep and we wake up refreshed and not needing that much of sleep. Our instructor shared that by doing this daily before we head to bed, we will be needing just 4-5 hrs of sleep a day...imagine how much more we can accomplished if we do that! That's like a savings of about a full month (i.e. 30 days) in a year just sleeping 2 hrs less a day! That's an additional month for each one of us!

Are we all not motivated to get started? It's very simple to do and the best part is that it is effortless!

Here's the steps:

1. Lie in this postion, legs open, arms relax and palms facing upwards.


2. Relax your body and breath in thru your nose.

3. Say the word "E" from your throat and breath out slowly as you say the word.

4. Repeat steps 2-3 for at least 20 times.

Feel your body and mind after this. You will feel so relax you could go to bed almost immediately. I could hear the "E" sound in class getting softer and softer as we go along....I guess half of us are alseep that's why.

Enjoy and Good Health you all!
