It's well known that yoga influences "how" we think (which is different to "what" we think.)
According to Gabrielle Scanlon of QuickFitYoga, one of the beneficial aspects of yoga that "the western world" all too easily overlooks is that physical yoga -- the "asanas" -- were originally developed to aid the more lofty spiritual pursuits of meditation. It was thought that once the body could rest completely still for many hours on end, the mind would be more easily freed to aspire to the desired spiritual heights. Part of this is the ability to think more clearly and more positively.
"You would be amazed how many of our students are astonished at how their ability to think about previously stressful or painful areas of their lives simply changes over night -- particularly for Bikram Yoga devotees, as this series really does banish stressful or anxious thoughts."
I can personally testify that regular Bikram Yoga makes a huge difference to falling asleep easily and sleeping through the night during what might otherwise be stressful periods in your life.
