Yoga Before Bed: Stretching & Meditation Before Sleep for All Levels (25 Mins)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2016
- This is an all levels yoga sequence for before bed. Use it to stimulate a restful sleep, or practice it anytime of day that you want to calm down. Doing yoga before bed is ideal because it stimulates your parasympathetic nervous system, preparing your body for sleep and relaxation.
Stretching and meditating are two of the best activities you can do (in my opinion) before going to sleep. In this 25-minute free yoga class, I show you the yoga poses I love that prepare your body to sleep and relax. If we all did some form of yoga before bed, we'd also have a better and more relaxing sleep - and maybe sweeter dreams too :)
Thanks for watching this Yoga Before Bed yoga class! Please don't for get to Subscribe to my channel for more free yoga classes!
So much love from my heart to yours, Namaste!
Brett xoxo

I’ve been practicing yoga for about 7 years now, starting with RUclips Brett Larkin and Sarah Beth yoga. I’ve grown so much in my practice, that I do my own flows with music, attend workshops, & attend a few classes once in awhile.
On nights when I am so anxious, wired, tired, scattered & burnt out so much that I can’t focus my attention on my own flow + breathing combined
I always return to this video ❤️ having bretts voice guide me on the amount of seconds to do each breath brings me back with no distraction from my own mind
This is a night like that.
Thank you Brett Larkin for inspiring my journey, your content, and this video
I found this class tonight for the first time and I really needed it. Thank you so much Brett. Your classes bring me joy and take a little bit of the weight of the world off of my mind!
I do this yoga sequence before bed or before starting my day. It's so amazing for my body and mind. Thank you so much Brett for sharing us this yoga sequence. Bernie 🇫🇷
You are very welcome!!!
I actually appreciated the clap. I was starting to fall asleep, it woke me up. Thank you Brett for not letting me fall asleep in lizard pose
You're so welcome!!! Practice with me again soon! xoxo
That breathing system was so relaxing - prevented my mind wandering and helped me settle down. Now I´m going to bed. Thank you Brett!
This video is really amazing. You have helped me so much! Thank you.
What a wonderful release! Thank you.🧘💜
love the breathing :) very grounding
Great routine and i'm a beginner. Nice stretches.
Very relaxed by the end of this. Thank you.
You are very welcome!!
Ok so I'm a beginner and I felt like this wasn't really relaxing at all it was actually quite difficult keeping my balance and opening my hips for some parts ur 10 minute one is definitely much more bedtime suited 😌 maybe I'll come back to this one once I have more practice in 😅
Yoga is your own thing. But, have you tried Gentle Yin Yoga? It's great for letting all the stress go without adding more. This routine is not for beginners. Here's this until I can find you better. ruclips.net/video/SoymL3XAHWk/видео.html
I feel like this is a bit more invigorating than relaxing pre-bedtime, but a nice flow nonetheless :-)
This really calmed me down. I feel grounded and relaxed. Namaste.
Thank you for practicing with me!!
Just what I needed this evening; thanks, Brett: I nearly went to sleep on my mat!
Hi Brett I enjoy your yoga but this particular one is a little more difficult for me. Hopefully I'll get there one day but thank you for all your wonderful yoga RUclips videos.
Thanks for this. It was very relaxing and soothing... drowsy and ready for bed :-)
Yay, you are so welcome!!
Thankyou brett .... was so relaxing and i felt my kundalini in that waveform as well .... your a true yoga guru thankyou 💚
Beautiful yoga practice just what I needed thank you so much xx
You're so welcome!!! Practice with me again soon! xoxo
this is a great routine! thank you so much, brett.
Thanks Maggie!
thanks Brett! At first I wasn't sure if this was "relaxing" enough...but after all the deep stretches it really made me feel "deep" and drowsy at the end if that makes sense! Just what I needed to wind down! Definitely enjoyed your sequence, thank you again! Namaste and good night :)
So glad you loved it!!!
a little difficult for beginners and i feel like it didn't release as much tension as i was hoping. i do feel more relaxed and sleepy though and i don't regret doing this one.
Thank you for the feedback, and for practicing with me!!!
Thanks Brett! Love your videos!!
It is an honor to practice with you, thank you for being here! 💖💖💖
I truly enjoyed this practice, Im a dancer, and get home pretty late and really love to do at least 30 minute practice to wind down from bed. I love your pranayama approach and hope you come out with some more of just meditation sequences. The breathe is most important to me honestly, and I loved this. My only critique, or more like suggestion, would maybe have been to add some type of posture on the back. Maybe happy baby, legs in the air or agianst the wall or even knees to chest, something of that caliber. Thanks so much for posting this ! you have a new subscriber
Thank you for practicing with me. Please personalize for you, you can skip something I'm doing and do what is calling to you, or pause the video and add in what feels right. See you on the mat💖
thank you 💜
you're welcome!!
I’ve never left feedback on any yoga videos on RUclips but I felt I had to with this one.
I just had a baby 7 months ago, and I’ve been suffering from severe anxiety, specifically at night time. I’m consumed with so many worries and what if’s. So I’ve started practicing yoga again for the past two months. I have 2 years of Bikram yoga experience, so it’s been easy to jump back into some of the foundations & flow of yoga postures, but I am absolutely clueless of breathing and meditation which is what I really need for my mental stress. I’ve been watching RUclips videos for 2 months trying to learn how to calm my mind and although I’ve learned a lot, i haven’t really had much luck getting the full effect of peace of mind.
I tried this video last night before bed and wow I felt so much better and calm that I had to leave a comment on this. Before I did the video, I had just spent over an hour trying to get my baby to sleep, so my tension was extreme, but after this video, I nearly fell asleep on my yoga mat.
Incorporating deep relaxing stretches while extending the length of each exhale and emphasizing the exhale slower and slower, really helped make my body feel as if it were melting. The meditation at the end did wanders to. Meditation has been difficult for me because my mind wanders no matter how hard I try to focus. But Bree’s method of holding the breath after each inhale and exhale and extending the exhale really helped me put focus on my breath.
I finally got some good sleep last night, was able to go right back to sleep whenever my baby woke up, and I feel so much lighter and happier today.
It took me two months to find the perfect sequence for bedtime and calming down and finally this is it! Thank you so much Bree.
Also forgot to add, but after childs pose at the end, I crawled to the wall and did legs up on the wall with the same breathing method done in this video. Worked wonders.
Omg I’m so sorry BRETT. Not Bree. I’ve been watching your videos for weeks. Don’t know how that happened. Mommy brain I guess
I love this so much!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with me! Welcome to the channel, and thank you so much for practicing with me. I am honored to have been of service to you. 🙏
P.S. I totally get the mommy brain!!! xoxoxo
BrettLarkinYoga Hi Brett ! Thanks for responding! that’s very sweet of you. You’ve definitely become my main mentor. I can’t keep myself interested and follow through most other RUclips yoga instructors, your videos have been perfect ! so I’m blessed to have found your channel.
I wanted to ask, do you have any videos or tips for safely strengthening the knees and ankles or any videos that explain safe alignment?
I’m super tall and lanky, which is awesome bc my body type has made my flexibility come back pretty quickly; But I was extremely lazy when I was pregnant. So my muscle tone and strength is not completely up to par. I had my first ankle sprain scare but luckily it turned out fine in a matter of days (I did your easy chair yoga sequence during that difficult time. Haha).
I’ve been practicing very very often to deal with my moods, anxiety and insomnia. I’m extremely determined and dedicated to the point where my ankles are extremely sore some days & I’m worried of injuring myself from a sudden misstep
When I jump into a Warrior pose or any pose with feet wide apart, I’m not 100% on my alignment which in turn, makes me worried I’m doing more harm then good with my ankles on these types of postures. Which would be very unfortunate bc all of the Warrior postures, lunges, and vinyasa flows have become so uplifting for me.
Ps: I have that same exact yoga mat in me and my daughter’s room! I’ve learned from being a new mommy that it is wise to have a yoga mat ready in almost every room. Gaim definitely is assigned to the most used rooms and this one is my favorite ☺️ another reason I loved this video hahaha.
I wonder if the designs on Gaim mats are meant to help with alignment issues. Because sometimes I find when I’m in table position my wrists, torso, and ankles are perfectly aligned with the design on this particular mat. Or maybe it’s just my imagination?
I apologize for the lengthy response, and throwing a lot at ya.
I’ve become very passionate into yoga practice/meditation. And I’m needing it to find a peace of mind. I need it so that I can be my most peaceful & happy self because my sweet baby deserves the most radiant part of me that I know I can be. There’s not many studios or anybody in my family or friends who are interested in it, except for my baby whose my biggest fan. So it’s been something I’ve been trying to achieve & learn alone solely through videos and now trying books too. I purchased a book you recommended: Light on Yoga. I’m mostly a visual learner but this has become a great reference tool and I actually am enjoying learning the religion behind the practice. So Thank you for that recommendation too!
This class should help with your ankles and knees: ruclips.net/video/vKiCe6kk0PI/видео.html
If you search Brett Larkin downdog, my tutorial videos should pop up. I also have videos for fixes on the warrior poses on the channel. Also want to mention that you can get feedback on your alignment from your mentor in my membership community Uplifted, if that is something you would be interested in. We're all yoga obsessed there!!
That was really good and I did a Nighttime Yoga before this one felt restlessness throughout the time and when I did this sequence the restlessness did subside however it seems to have increased during the meditation time can you help me with that I don't understand why that happened????
It's so hard to say what caused this! Perhaps you had something on your mind that wanted your attention? Thank you for practicing with me, hopefully next time you have better luck relaxing! 💖
i love your leggings!!! since i do exercise now i love them in any color. Thank for the practice brett!!
You're so welcome!!! Practice with me again soon! xoxo
Also, the leggings are by Alo yoga if you want to check them out!
Wonderful feeling practice!
Ps.. it seems you indicated some editing (hand clapping and then corrected the instructions) a few times during the video, I guess it was supposed to be edited out... so you know it wasn't :)
I'm soooooo sorry (an embarrassed) about the clapping. Somehow the non-edited version of the video got uploaded. It's fixed now :) Thank you so much for commnting and telling me!! SO embarassing
Great routine even for a very beginner like me, there is still a bit of editing clapping though, very distracting.
clapping? why?? didn't get it. :-(
It's not relaxing at all.
I think its a practice of hypnosis.She repeats the phrase in between clapping similar to how a lot of hypnotists snap in between repeating a phrase.
2:20 does this work your glutes?
just letting you know about the clapping issue! it is definitely super jarring, really took me out of it. Not a criticism, just a heads up!
I thought this got edited out...it's STILL there???? (thx for letting me know)
Not at all relaxing, sorry. More day practice, not nighttime. Working way too hard before bed.
