20 minute Evening Yoga Stretch | Bedtime Yoga for Stress & Tension

You’ll begin with a savasana to settle in, then learn how to do a 3D breath for deep breathing that will calm your nervous system as you continue to work through postures that will stimulate digestion and release pent up physical, mental or emotional tension.

To deeply relax into our final savasana we used a breathing technique called the Physiological Sigh. It is a tool you can use to instantly turn on your parasympathetic nervous system and most people can feel a wave of relaxation within 20 seconds of practicing the sigh 3 times, like how we do it in savasana. You can learn more about the Physiological Sigh through Dr. Huberman’s podcast about Stress on his YouTube channel.

SarahBeth, your yoga videos always seem to come at the perfect times for me. Not only do they help me physically, but emotionally too. Your videos are more than just practices they are gifts. Your words are so comforting and this was one of the videos that had me tearing up. Every time I hear you say, “you’re exactly where you need to be” I feel a huge embrace in my soul. Thank you. ❤️✨🙏🏽☀️

[sandrastevanovic]

I genuinely almost fell asleep while doing this, it felt so good, relaxing and freeing in a way. Thanks for everything you do, Sarah Beth! Especially for giving us thoughtful and detailed explanations regarding our breathing, but also about the meaning of yoga itself. 🥰❤

[CeCeHoran]

This helped my tense lower back so much❤️ Making this my nightly routine before bed. I struggle with insomnia

[leap]

At the end I started laughing so hard and crying a little. I just feel like this routine helped get out all of the tension I was carrying. All of the things I have been so stressed about seemed silly to me. I am still chuckling while writing this. This video was amazing. Thank you.

[atamija]

the bit about emotional walls hits hard every time, but in a good way
thank you Sarah 🏵

[rochellehayles]

Ohhhh, my day was so hard, but that sigh at the end made every pulse point in my body beat and made this session worth every minute

[lillaperendy]

Wow … I was crying like a baby by the end of this practice. And I was so thankful that I could release whatever emotion needed to leave my body. Yoga is truly healing the soul and body. Thank you so much!

[hannahhardin]

[LaTishiaQM]

Thank you. I have high blood pressure and this exercise helps to lower it. Thank you❤

[hazelsister]

This is my first time doing this exercise, I’m doing this before I go to sleep after vomiting a few times earlier. I cried halfway. I just want you to know that this helped me a lot in grounding and being mindful. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

[chelseysmith]

Thank you! It's always a pleasure!

[ProgressiveYoruba]

This came exactly at the right time I needed it 🥺 the affirmations at the beginning and the reminder of Santosha philosophy reslly helped me in where I am mentally now 💙💙

Hi Sarah!! Your videos I love so much and while I have slacked for about a year, I know I can slowly get back into it with your videos... but I also love your "outside of yoga" videos weather it's about back pain or your work you truly slip so much good advice in those. I would love to see some more of not strictly physical videos but your routine, or clearing your mind or dealing w stresses of everyday life... I get so much out of your videos like that and the yoga you truly give great, calming advice . Xoxxo❤ thank you for helping me w my anxiety and back pain and giving me mantras to repeat to myself daily. #Namaste
