Yoga for Better Sleep: Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Science

This book will make you yawn… and that’s a good thing! In Yoga for Better Sleep: Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Science, author Mark Stephens offers the holistic practice of yoga to aid in getting better, more restful sleep. He warns that yoga alone does not replace good sleep hygiene, proper diet, or good lifestyle choices, but can work as a complement to them. In this book, Stephens describes the science of sleep, troubleshoots various sleep problems, and offers yoga sequences and breathing techniques to aid in better sleep.

The fun part about this book is you can read it straight through, or you can read the parts specific to you, or your child if you are helping a young or school-age child to find better sleep, or you can mix and match. It’s a very forgiving book as far as reading order goes. What’s more, it’s incredibly interesting to read where the science of sleep and philosophy of yoga intersect. The poses and breathing techniques are comprehensive and helpful, and Stephens’ style makes you feel like you’re chatting to a friend. After reading this book, you should be able to snooze in no time.
