Support Deeper Rest
There is an increasing recognition and knowledge about the value of sleep in both physiology, psychology, and human performance. Furthermore, there is also an increasing burden and prevalence of sleep disturbance and chronic insomnia, which are believed to be strongly influenced by stress and arousal.
Behavioral treatments for insomnia have been well-validated and there is strong research evidence demonstrating the high effectiveness of yoga for alleviating stress and arousal. However, these approaches, which are free of the side effects and other complications with sleeping pills, are not well known and poorly implemented.
This workshop will describe the prevalence and underlying characteristics of insomnia, the well-known behavioral treatments for insomnia, and the research demonstrating the efficacy of yoga for sleep quality and sleep disorders.
In this online program, you will explore:
- The roots of sleep disturbances and their causes
- How yoga can remedy stress and insomnia
- Ways to improve sleep quality and relaxation
