The salt grotto and its practice
The grotto is the center of the studio. The air inside holds the same concentration of breathable salt particles as a natural salt mine, and the standard session asks you to rest on a lounge chair and breathe. A powersession raises that concentration, for those who want a stronger experience.
Breathwork in its different forms fills most of the timetable: meditative pranayama, breathing into different parts of the body, and guided meditations built on the breath.
The rhythm of the week
The studio runs most of its sessions at midday, with a smaller share in the evening. Starts run from noon to 7pm, and the busiest start times fall between 2pm and 5pm. Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays see the most classes.
The classes are fairly short, usually 45 minutes, which makes it easy to fit a session into a lunch break or a late afternoon. Yoga is the exception at around 90 minutes.
Sound, breath and children
Breathing and sound make up a large part of the offer. Heilsingen brings healing songs and live voice work into the grotto, and soundhealing draws on the idea that sound and vibration can be felt through the body. Chanting, calm and hatha yoga appear in smaller numbers.
The studio is a practical place for children too. Its children's session gives young ones a salt floor and a box of toys, and it is one of the few places in the city where that kind of session is part of the regular timetable.
