A Path to Deep Sleep with Evening Stretches and Yin Yoga

Even a brief practice can make a difference. You might start with child’s pose to release your lower back, move into a seated forward fold to soothe the nervous system, and finish with a reclining butterfly to open your hips and deepen your breath.

As you hold each posture, notice your breathing slow and your thoughts settle. The quiet stillness of the body encourages a parallel stillness in the mind. This is your gentle invitation to rest.

The final step in this ritual is a sensory cue. After your last pose, mist your pillow or the surrounding area with Blue Tansy Pillow Spray. The soft notes of blue tansy helps maintain the relaxed state you’ve just cultivated.

By introducing the scent at this moment, you reinforce a habit loop: movement, breath, aroma, rest. Over time, your body will associate the fragrance with calm, making it easier to transition into deep sleep naturally.
