REST + DIGEST 5PM

REST + DIGEST returns to Tidal Yoga Ltd on Saturday 31 October, from 5:00 to 6:45 PM. It's a session of soft yoga and self-care, framed as a way to prepare for the darker months that settle in around this time of year.

Most of the time goes to Yin Yoga — about an hour and a quarter of it — where you hold shapes for longer than you would in a regular class, letting the stretch sink in. That's followed by a period of rest and a facilitated switch-off, a bit of quiet to wind down before you head back out into the city. It's a slower pace than a typical session, so it works even if you're not used to yoga or if you're just not in the mood for anything too active.

Scottee facilitates the session, with Suzi, also known as Dirti Pilates, assisting. They've kept the practical side easy: props, mats and blankets are all provided, and there's chocolate kept on standby. They also lean into accessibility — there's a sliding scale for the price to keep it affordable, you can choose to watch or rest without moving, and you're free to leave at any time. The venue notes that the surrounding area can be a bit loud, so it's worth keeping in mind if you're particularly sensitive to noise.

It runs from 5:00 to 6:45 PM at Tidal Yoga Ltd, 115 Leith Walk, EH6 8NP, and costs between £16.96 and £27.80 on a sliding scale.
