Sleep soundly - Ekhart Yoga

Dear yogi, we’re currently upgrading the website and so will be offline for a short time today. We apologise for any disruption to your practice and, in the meantime, would like to offer these classes for you to practice. We’re working hard in the background so that normal service will be resumed soon. Thank you for your patience.

The route to better sleep

These classes will help prepare you for a great night’s sleep with 3 yoga classes to stretch and unwind plus 3 guided relaxations and Yoga Nidra – a tried and tested method of relaxation, also known as yogic sleep.

Practice these classes to wind down in the evenings. You can even practice the guided relaxations and talks while in bed. Try out the different teachers and classes and then repeat the classes that work best for you.
