This early morning session brings yoga, sound bath, Reiki and aromatherapy into Wildheart Animal Sanctuary in Sandown, using the sanctuary's outdoor setting before the day gets busy. It is aimed at people who want a calm Sunday start rather than a crowded class or a rushed dip between errands. The 8:30am start gives the morning a clear purpose without taking over the whole day.
Elle begins the morning with yoga among the sights and sounds of the sanctuary, then the pace drops into a cleansing sound bath with Reiki and aromatherapy. The organisers finish with hand-blended herbal tea, which gives you a softer landing before the rest of the day. Only 20 places are listed, and booking is in advance only, so this is one to reserve before you build the morning around it.
Arrive at 8:20am for a prompt start. Bring a yoga mat, blanket, pillows or cushions for comfort, warm layers for the slower relaxation section, and water. The organiser says the session will move into the bear lookout if the weather does not behave. Sound baths may not suit everyone, so contact the organiser first if you have sound sensitivity, epilepsy, a pacemaker, recent surgery or a heart condition. More sport and fitness events on the Isle of Wight are updated through the season.
