Yoga lovers will already be well versed in the ancient practice’s wellness benefits; less well known, however, are the health pluses that live classical music can bring to it. A recent study has shown that listening to classical music can help alleviate symptoms of everything from anxiety and high blood pressure to insomnia.
With this in mind, Ann Pidcock, a London-based yoga instructor and Estilo String Quartet have collaborated to bring ‘Yoga Ab Alto — Yoga with Strings Attached’, a new wellness experience to the magical and historical venue of The Old Church in London’s Stoke Newington, the city’s only surviving Elizabethan church. The name Ab Alto ‘From Above’ is taken from the motto above the door to the church.
