Yoga is a form of exercise that originated in ancient India and involves a series of physical postures, movements, and breathing techniques to promote physical and mental well-being. In recent years, yoga has become increasingly popular as a means to improve sleep. It can help reduce stress and anxiety, improve physical health, and promote healthy sleep habits.
