If you tried the morning wake-up routine, you know it emphasizes moving to get the body revved up and ready for the day ahead. At night, though, you want to calm the body down and get relaxed so it’s easier to drift off to sleep. This set of stretches minimizes moving and concentrates on breathing into long, easy stretches. It will help you wind down, just what you want at the end of a long day.

Exercises
