RECOVER
REST IS PART OF THE WORK
HYPNOSIS, SOUND BATHS, YOGA NIDRA AND RED LIGHT IN BERLIN — RECOVERY FOR THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, THE BODY AND THE MIND, AT SHA-LA WATERFRONT AND PRENZLAUER BERG.
ABOUT
RECOVERY AT SHA-LA: WHERE THE WORK SETTLES IN
Recovery is where the work settles in. At SHA-LA we believe in its power, so we offer hypnosis sessions, sound baths, Yoga Nidra and red light classes, including Pilates in red light, to support our community in the best way possible: a calmer nervous system, deeper rest and better days.
Most people in Berlin end up splitting their week across a yoga studio, a gym and somewhere to actually recover. We built SHA-LA so you don’t have to. Strength, stillness and recovery belong together, and RECOVER is the part most of us skip.
WHAT YOU’LL FIND HERE
HYPNOSIS
Guided sessions with our hypnosis practitioners: deep relaxation, visualisation and journeys for sleep, stress and change.
SOUND BATHS
Crystal bowls, gongs and voice. Lie down, let the sound do the work, and leave with a quiet head. Weekly sound specials and all-night gong events.
YOGA NIDRA
Yogic sleep: a guided practice between waking and sleeping that rests the body more deeply than a nap and settles the mind.
RED LIGHT
Red light classes at SHA-LA Waterfront, including Pilates in red light: gentle movement in a warm red glow that supports recovery, skin and sleep.
COMMUNITY
SLOW IS A SKILL
Resting well is something you practise, like a handstand or a heavy lift. Our recovery classes give you a room, a teacher and an hour where there is nothing to achieve. Many of our community pair a strong practice or a strength session with a sound bath or Yoga Nidra in the same week.
All recovery classes are suitable for beginners and for people who do not practise yoga at all. Come in whatever state you are in.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a sound bath?
A sound bath is a lying-down meditation guided by instruments like crystal bowls and gongs. You do nothing but listen. Most people describe it as deeply relaxing, some fall asleep, and that is fine.
What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, is a guided practice done lying down. The teacher leads you through the body, the breath and visualisations while you rest between waking and sleeping. No experience needed.
What is red light therapy and where do you offer it?
Red and near-infrared light is used to support recovery, skin and sleep. At SHA-LA Waterfront we offer red light classes, including Pilates in red light, in our dedicated red light room.
How do I book?
