Restorative shapes tell your body that night is safe. Gather pillows/bolster, a blanket, and two blocks or thick books. Start in Supported Child’s Pose: bolster between knees, torso draped, cheek resting; breathe into the back ribs for two minutes, switch cheek. Slide into Reclined Bound Angle: soles touch, knees supported on blocks, bolster lengthwise under spine for gentle chest opening; breathe five minutes with slow 4‑6 exhales. Roll to the side for Supported Twist: bolster close to the hip, knees stacked, torso draped across; three minutes each side. Move to the wall for Legs Up the Wall (or calves on a chair) for five to eight minutes; if hamstrings resist, slide farther from the wall. End in Savasana with a blanket over you, hands resting low on the belly. Keep lights warm and low, phone outside the room, and let silence be part of the practice. If thoughts crowd in, whisper “not now, tomorrow” and return to breath. Repeat most nights for one week falling asleep becomes a glide, not a fight.
