Roof studio
Small classes in the roof studio, for no more than fourteen people. Bring nothing; mats, bolsters and blankets are here, and the thermal rooms are open to you for an hour afterwards.
Every week
Book a place online or by WhatsApp. Doors open fifteen minutes before each class; once a class has begun we close the door, so please come on time.

The classes
You lie on a thick mat under a wool blanket while our teacher plays singing bowls, a gong and a shruti box. There is nothing to do except listen. The roof studio is lit by candles and you can hear the ferries in the gaps.
A slow, breath-led movement class for stiff backs and busy heads: easy standing work, long floor stretches and five minutes of lying still at the end. Morning light comes in over the Bosphorus.
Simple breathing practices to lower the volume after work, followed by a guided rest on bolsters. Taught in English and Turkish.
A longer sound bath once a month, with linden tea and dates in the garden beforehand. The date for the next one is posted on Instagram and in our monthly letter.
First class
Loose clothes you can lie down in. Changing rooms and lockers are on the ground floor.
Leave two hours after a full meal before a movement class. Sound baths are fine after a light dinner.
Injuries, pregnancy or tinnitus: a quiet word before class and we will adapt the practice.
Your class includes an hour in the thermal rooms and a glass of linden tea afterwards.
Classes
Reserve a place in any class. Members of the Class Pass and House Member plans book first.
