Find out why sleep changes in your 40s — and how Yin Yoga can help calm your mind and body before bed.
Ever notice that sleep feels different after 40?
You’re not imagining it. As our hormones shift and our lives get busier, deep, restorative rest can start to feel out of reach — and those 2 a.m. wake-ups become all too familiar.
In this episode, I’m sharing why sleep changes as we move through our 40s and how Yin Yoga, gentle breath work, and meditation before bed can help you create calm, balance your nervous system, and finally get the deep rest your body craves.
We’ll talk about:
🌙 Why perimenopause and stress affect your sleep cycles
🧘♀️ How Yin Yoga activates your body’s “rest & digest” response
🌬️ Simple breath work to quiet a busy mind before bed
🕯️ Easy nighttime rituals to improve your sleep hygiene
If you’ve been tossing, turning, or feeling “tired but wired,” this episode will help you slow down, reconnect, and remember that peaceful sleep is absolutely possible — at any age.
