Yoga has been shown to improve sleep quality many groups of individuals, including women and the elderly. There appears to be a correlation between practising yoga and improved sleep quality, but what is it about yoga that has this effect?
As an experienced yoga teacher, I've found many reasons as to why yoga may help improve sleep. Along with my experience as a yoga expert, I also talked to Professor Heather Cleland Woods, Professor of Psychology Education and Sleep Health from the University of Glasgow to get an idea of how our lifestyle and exercise choices can impact sleep quality and how this might relate to yoga.
