Evening Wind-Down Flow
Mayasays...
Evening yoga is like a gentle transition ritual that helps you shift from the busy energy of the day into rest and restoration. These poses activate your parasympathetic nervous system - your 'rest and digest' mode - which is essential for good sleep. Think of this practice as giving yourself permission to truly let go and rest deeply.
