Restorative & Sound

Bolsters, blankets and low light, finishing with forty minutes of bowls. Come straight from work and leave slower than you arrived.

The first half hour is restorative yoga: four or five shapes, each fully propped so the body has nothing to hold. Legs up the wall, a supported twist, a reclined butterfly. The teacher adjusts the props; you adjust nothing.

Then the lights go lower and the sound bath begins. Singing bowls, a gong and a few chimes played slowly around the room. You lie under a blanket with an eye pillow and let the sound do the work. Some people drift off. That is allowed.

Suitable for everyone. Bring warm socks and, if you like, a blanket of your own.
