Workshops

Sunday afternoons, two and a half hours.

Once a week the schedule stops and the room is given to one thing for an afternoon: a sound bath, a workshop on hips or shoulders, breathwork, a winter restorative with candles. Dates go up two months ahead, with the teacher, the price and the spaces left; the sound bath sells out within a day, so look early.

The sound bath

Seventy-five minutes of lying still while Ruth plays the bowls.

The monthly sound bath is the most popular thing the studio does and the one that needs least explaining: you lie on a mat under a blanket with your eyes closed, and Ruth plays crystal bowls, gongs and chimes around the room for an hour and a quarter. There is nothing to do and nowhere to be. People sleep, some cry, most leave quieter than they came. It sells out within a day of the date going up, which is why the dates are published two months ahead and some months it runs twice.

  • £22, fourteen places, bring a pillow if you like
