Wave goodbye to stiffness and get into night mode with ease!
Did you know that exercise can help you calm down before bed to improve sleep quality? While it may seem counterintuitive, intentional mobility movements can calm the brain and put the body into a parasympathetic state. This shift to the ‘rest and digest’ state is a major key to feeling less restless at night, setting you up for a long, refreshing slumber.
While not everyone has the luxury of time, we can all afford to move for 2–3 minutes a day. This investment will not only improve your mobility and joint health, but it can lower your respiration and heart rate to induce a sense of calm.

What are you waiting for? It’s time to use movements to enhance your sleep!
