I agree with this, however, the best sleep of my life was when I was doing Ashtanga yoga regular. It's very physical, but I think it also takes care of a lot of muscle tension - notably in the shoulders, hips, and hamstrings - that are an often unnoticed cause of sleep issues.
Not only did I sleep better while doing Ashtanga, I felt better with less sleep. It was amazing. It's something I've struggled incorporating into my current lifestyle for a few reasons.
- never_inline 2y agoAshtanga means lot of things apart from Asana and Pranayama. How strict was your lifestyle?
- lemonberry 2y agoNot strict at all.
- mtalantikite 2y agoAgreed. When I was practicing 5-6 times per week my sleep was a lot better. Unfortunately my yoga school closed during the pandemic and I started training Muay Thai in my neighborhood. Sometimes I'm so tired from training it's actually difficult to sleep. With only doing asana practice I can sleep 7 hours and be fine, with Muay Thai I need 8-9 hours to recover.
