Summer Solstice: Sound and Silence

Celebrate the longest day of the year with a deeply restorative experience of gentle yoga and immersive sound therapy in the stunning open-air setting of the historic Abbey Ruins.

• Date: Thursday 19^th June
• Time: 5:30pm – 6:30pm
• Location: Abbey Ruins

This special event combines gentle yoga and a therapeutic sound bath to help you release tension and welcome the season with clarity and calm. We’ll begin with a slow, grounding yoga flow—accessible for all levels—to gently awaken the body and prepare you for deep rest.

Surrounded by the beauty of nature and ancient stone, you’ll then lie back under the sky and be immersed in the healing vibrations of a Moon Gong, Crystal and Tibetan Singing Bowls, and other harmonically rich instruments. As sound fills the space, you’ll feel the stresses of the day melt away, inviting in peace, presence, and inner stillness.

Yoga and sound therapy helps to lower your heart rate and blood pressure, enhance mindfulness and is a natural wellbeing boost.

Join us in celebrating the solstice with rest, reflection and radiant stillness. Tickets cost £5 and can be bought here. All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to charity.

This event is organised by Reading BID and brought to you by Yoga Reading.
