WHY SOVA RITUALS INCLUDE LIGHT EXERCISES:


Low-intensity stretching exercises facilitate rapid eye movement sleep thus promoting better sleep quality and improving stress response during sleep. 

Yoga poses increase parasympathetic activity and involve stretching and relaxing of muscles causing significant physical and mental exertion resulting in less sleep latency, more deep sleep, less sleep disturbances, and better sleep efficiency.  

The latest embodiment practices also say that the best way to calm down the mind is through body relaxation. 

Thus light stretching exercises help:
1)  leave negative emotions and obsessive thoughts we accumulate during the day
2)  feel less stressed, anxious and exhausted 
3)  have a right mood for sleep
4)  get up energetic and be productive through day hours
