Yoga Poses for Insomnia

Here is a good article by Leslie Peters. She is a certified intermediate Iyengar Yoga teacher and the former director of the Iyengar Yoga Institute of Los Angeles. She is featured in the book Yoga: The Path to Holistic Health, by B.K.S. Iyengar.

Many things, such as stress, hormonal changes, medical or emotional problems, and certain medications, can cause insomnia. While there is no blanket solution to this complex and highly individualized problem, the practice of yoga can be helpful. If you are looking to yoga for serenity, here are some poses that will quiet and calm you.

The Art of Yoga

Each shape the body takes should conduct the intention from the heart to the universe. Yoga means experiencing directly without interference from the analyzing and associating tendencies of the mind. The source of all movement---indeed all life---is experienced directly. It is the experience of direct communication from the Source to the hand, and from the hand back to the Source, that results in the art of yoga.

When we change our physical perception of the world from right side-up to upside down, we allow the mind to subside into the heart.

Yoga at the Dojo

Join our Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga classes at the Kiryukan Dojo every Friday from 8:30-10am.

We want to make yoga available to anyone & everyone so we practice Dakshina or "giving in return" rather than accepting fixed payments. There is a suggested donation of P200.

We have also partnered with a group of teachers who have completed the Greenpath Boracay Yoga Teacher Training last May 2010. We are now offering private classes in the comfort of your own home or if you and/or your group do not have a venue, the dojo can be booked for your private class.

Fixed rates apply to private classes.

Please contact Isla at 0905 343 6265 for inquiries and bookings.


Location: 10th Ave. cor. P. Tuazon (across SM Cubao)

See you! Namaste ♥
