Sleep: what it does for you and how to troubleshoot it

In Macbeth, Shakespeare states that sleep is “the chief nourisher in life’s feast.” And modern science proves that it truly is. What other miraculous remedy helps you fight infection and makes you look younger, enhances your memory and makes you more creative, heals your emotional wounds, and helps you learn and remember? If someone could package it, it would fly off the shelves. Yet, here it is, readily available to all of us. Granted, some of us need a little help with falling asleep and staying asleep – luckily, there are proven yogic strategies that can help.

Sleep is not a luxury — it’s a vital foundation for physical health, emotional well-being, cognitive function, and a positive outlook on life. Yet in today’s world, a constant stream of distressing headlines, endless screen time, and the relentless pace of modern life leave our minds overstimulated and our bodies tense. As worry builds and fatigue sets in, deep, restorative rest becomes increasingly out of reach. The short video below offers practical guidance to help you approach sleep problems in a way that leads to real, lasting improvement.

Are you ready to address your sleep challenges? Check out our new webinar series, Reclaim Your Calm: Yoga for Better Sleep.

This webinar series is designed to help you understand what truly happens in your body and mind during sleep—why it matters, what supports it, and what gets in the way. You’ll explore the conditions that make it easier to fall and stay asleep, the everyday habits that may be quietly disrupting your rest, and the practical changes that can make a real difference. Most importantly, you’ll learn which types of yoga techniques and practices are best suited to your unique needs—so you can build a personalized approach to better sleep, grounded in awareness, movement, and breath.

The Reclaim Your Calm: Yoga for Better Sleep webinar series includes three hour-long webinars, eight short video tutorials featuring quick techniques and movements, eight full yoga practices, and an 80-page e-book. It’s currently available at an introductory price of $59 (regularly $75). This special offer ends on June 15, 2025.

Discover what’s disrupting your rest and how to reclaim it.


Sleep isn’t something we can improve through theoretical understanding alone — it takes real action. Discover which steps work best for you in this webinar series.

  • Hi Olga~

    I really appreciate reading your blog posts every week, and especially this most recent series on sleep. I wonder if you learned anything about bi-phasic sleep while you were researching, especially if it had to do with the practice of yoga.

    Thanks again!
