5 yoga exercises for your night trout Night

Just ask a health trainer, browse in a wellness book or scroll through a blog about a healthy lifestyle, and you will probably find a wealth of advice on morning routines. In traditional medical systems such as Ayurveda and Chinese medicine, a morning routine or "Dinacharya" is one of the most important pillars of well -being. How we start the day sends out a wave effect that changes how the rest of the day could feel. A morning routine also reduces the risk of "decision -making tiredness". This is the theory that the more decisions we have to make during the day, the less likely we are to make good decisions.

It is more likely that you will make "bad" decisions when it comes to other aspects such as nutrition and exercise. Therefore, a reliable routine is important that is not only reserved for the morning. If you can integrate three non -negotiable healthy measures into your evening routine, your sleep, energy and your general well -being will get an enormous thrust, and I think you will feel much better in everyday life!

1. Sunset Mantra

Mantras were a central aspect of yoga right from the start, and Mantras, who honor the sun and downfall of the sun, were one of the first options Surya Namaskar or the "sun greeting" was practiced. When we sing, sing or sum, we stimulate the vagus nerve, a long "wandering" nerve that begins in the brain and meanders through the whole body, connects to the throat, the vocal cords and the diaphragm and finally reaches the intestine. The stimulation of the vagus nerve by singing triggers the "relaxation reaction", calms the nervous system and puts us in a parasympathetic state.

2. Chandra Namaskar

While a dynamic yoga flow could be her morning practice, our body and mind often long for something relaxing and calming in the evening. If you are busy cooking and getting your daily needs in the evening or your place is limited at home, a complete restorative practice may be a little inaccessible. Something that you can add to your evening are a few rounds chandra Namaskar, the 'moon greeting', either before or after dinner.

This practice not only calms the mind, but also benefits the body. A bit of exercise before and after dinner can help to prevent blood sugar tips and the subsequent slump after a large meal (and if you have ever felt the mood swings, the trembling and panic that can accompany a blood sugar, you know how to avoid it). Movement before and after the meal is also very effective to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, and cultures have been intuitive for thousands of years. A Chinese People's saying means translated; "If you take 100 steps after every meal, you will be 99 years old". Your chosen movement could go, dance or be a few rounds of chandra Namascar to adapt to the energy of the evening. Make your practice multi -sensory by adding a little neumond palm of feronia aromatherapy pulse oil to your pulse points, which also contributes to relaxing and rejuvenating the mind.

3. Mudra

Mudras are symbolic hand gestures that are used to promote a certain type of energy. There is mudras to increase the flow of life energy, increase brain performance, convey a feeling of grounding and also generate sleepiness. Make it comfortable on a pillow, light it (link away) and practice the candle and practice prithvi mudra or "earth" mudra to help your body and mind come back to earth after a hard day.
