- Pace
- Still
- Room

What to expect
- Lying on a mat with a bolster under the knees and a blanket over you.
- Lights down, and 45 to 75 minutes of continuous sound.
- Waves of gong or bowl sound you feel as much as hear.
- A slow return at the end, and no rush to get up.
Good to know
- Bring warm layers and socks — you cool down fast lying still.
- Falling asleep is completely normal and not a problem.
- Tell the facilitator beforehand about pregnancy, epilepsy, a pacemaker, metal implants, tinnitus or sound sensitivity.
Who it suits
People who sleep badly, anyone who finds sitting meditation hard, and complete beginners who want the calm of yoga without the poses.
