Many people suffer from insomnia and other sleep disturbances due to various problems including depression and anxiety. This affects their productivity and quality of life. Practicing yoga can help you sleep faster and longer. It can also improve sleep quality so that you wake up rested and ready to face another day.
Yoga reduces stress, depression, and anxiety. It also relieves pain and relaxes the body.
