Take a Pause This Festive Season Escape the festive rush with calming wellness events—movement, mindfulness, and healing to help you recharge and reconnect.

Step away from the seasonal rush and into a sanctuary of calm. This autumn, we invite you to experience a series of restorative wellness events designed to nourish your mind, body, and soul.

From immersive yoga beneath a dome of colour and sound to ancient breathwork and flowing Tai Chi, each session offers a unique opportunity to reconnect—with yourself and your community—through movement, mindfulness, and multisensory healing.

Whether you're seeking stillness, energy, or inspiration, join us for moments of peace and presence in the heart of the museum.

Immersive Yoga: A Journey Through Movement and Light

Tuesdays: 4 November – 9 December | 6–7pm
£8.80 per session or £44 for the full series | Over 18s only

Held in the museum’s awe-inspiring Central Hall, Immersive Yoga is not your typical class. Imagine flowing through poses while surrounded by a 270-degree projection of colour, film, and music—each week themed around a spiritual or philosophical concept to deepen your practice.

Led by the intuitive instructor Maz, these dynamic flow sessions are tailored for all levels, offering modifications and progressions that honour your body’s rhythm. Whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned yogi, this is a space to explore inner stillness, cultivate strength, and awaken your senses.
