Drift Off to Sleep With This Yoga Sequence

Pigeon pose is a relaxing way to loosen tight hips, and here's a variation that will also gently stretch your quads, spine, and shoulders.

• Sit on the floor with your right knee bent and your left leg extended straight behind you in Pigeon Pose.
• If this feels comfortable, then bend your left knee and reach for the top of your foot with your right hand. Wrap your left arm around your lower back, wrapping your fingers around the top of your right thigh.
• Breathe deeply for five breaths, gazing over your left shoulder. Gently release and switch sides.
