Everyone has an evening routine—whether you developed it consciously or not. But many evening routines don’t prepare your mind and body for sleep. Why?

The best evening routines help you feel better physically, mentally, and emotionally. And that means they’re simple, fit into your already busy schedule, and give your body a chance to calm down and go to bed relaxed.

It’s not as “sexy” as lifting heavy weights in the gym. It doesn’t boost your ego as much. And it’s something that’s missing from the vast majority of exercise programs—both online and offline.

There are several different types of yoga, and each has different goals. I’m not talking about different schools of yoga (like hatha or yin yoga), but different focuses of yoga.
