8-Minute Bedtime Yoga for Sleep — Hip Flexors, Half Splits & Nervous System Release

Feeling calm? Have a question? Send me a text:)This 8-minute practice is for the nights you want something real but don't have much time. A complete bedtime flow that moves through tabletop hip warm-up, low lunge with spinal twist, half splits for hamstring and calf release, supine leg stretches, knee-down twists, and rolling bridges — finishing in full rest.More dynamic than most of the practices in this catalog, this one is a good fit if your body needs movement to downshift rather than stillness. The slow breath cuing throughout keeps your nervous system moving toward rest even as the body works through deeper stretches.What you'll experience: Tabletop warm-up → low lunge and twist → half splits → upward dog → supine hamstring release → knee-down spinal twists → rolling bridge → final restIf tension in your hips, hip flexors, or hamstrings is keeping your body activated at night, this short flow targets all three — giving your nervous system the physical release it needs to let the day go.Keep your movements slow and your breath longer than feels natural. That's where the regulation happens.About Kassandra:Kassandra is a trauma-informed yoga teacher, breathwork guide, and Harvard-certified lifestyle & wellness coach who blends nervous system education with accessible mind–body practices to help people sleep better, ease anxiety, and feel grounded.Links:Rewire Your Nervous System in 7 Days (Free Guide)The 14-Day Nervous System Reset YouTubePinterestInstagramThe Calm LabSubstackMy Apple Music PlaylistLinkedInIf The Calm Lab is helping your nervous system, the best way to support is to:★ Rate and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify ★ Share an episode with someone who needs it ★ Subscribe so you don't miss the next oneThank you for being here. — Kassandra 🌿The Calm Lab by Namasté Your Life, LLC recommends that you consult your physician regarding the appl...
