ESADo you have a routine that gets you ready for bed? 🌙  For Sophie, it’s yoga, and that hasn’t changed 400km up on the ISS. Here’s what she had to say: “For years, yoga has been one of my favourite ways to find balance and unwind… and that has not changed on board the International Space Station!  I end every day with a few yin yoga stretches. It’s a quiet moment to pause, breathe, and transition from a full day of work to a good night’s sleep.  And yes, yoga feels a little different when gravity is no longer part of the equation!”  On Earth, a lot of a stretch comes from your own weight settling into the pose. Up there, that weight is gone. So next time you roll out your mat before bed, spare a thought for the one person doing a similar pose while floating. 📹 European Space Agency (ESA) #ESA #Astronaut #ISS
