Thats kind of the magic of yoga, Landesberg says.
It keeps us in the present.
When people think they have to go to an hour and a half class, Im like, no!
Even a few minutes flowing through poses at home in your pajamas can help center you, she says.
This would be unreal to do before bed, Landesberg says.

The Workout
What you need:A sturdy wall or door for legs up the wall pose.
