The short answer

What is bedtime yoga?

Bedtime yoga is a slow, gentle sequence done in the evening — often right in bed — to calm the nervous system and ease the body toward sleep.

It’s not a workout. It’s slow transitions, soft shapes, and breath that helps you wind down.

Why it works

A quiet wind-down the body understands.

Nothing dramatic — just a few small signals that tell you the day is over.

Your nervous system winds down

Slow movement and long, easy exhales help you shift out of go-mode and toward rest.

The day’s tension lets go

Gentle shapes loosen the places you clench — jaw, shoulders, hips — so you’re not carrying the day into bed.

Your body reads it as safe

A calm, familiar routine signals that it’s okay to let go — and sleep tends to come easier.

Good to know

Bedtime yoga questions.

The gentle answers to what women ask most.

Can I really do yoga in bed?

Yes. Your bed is soft, supportive, and already where you want to end up. These practices are built for it — slow shapes you do lying down or sitting against the headboard, with no getting up.

How long before sleep should I practice?

Whenever the evening starts to slow down — an hour before bed, or right as you get in. There’s no wrong time; many people do it as the very last thing, with the lights already low.

I’m a total beginner — is that ok?

More than ok. There’s nothing to be good at and nothing to reach for. If you can breathe and lie down, you can do this — Mel talks you through every moment.

What if I fall asleep during it?

Then it worked. You’re allowed to drift off before the end — no need to finish, no need to do it “right.” Let the practice carry you under.
