The summer solstice can be celebrated in many different ways.
Across the country, people wake to watch the sunrise – be it from Stonehenge or their bedroom windows – and take advantage of the longest day of the year.
Many people find that the stillness of yoga is the perfect way to celebrate.
Sound baths, which use instruments like crystal singing bowls, gongs and chimes, have long been used within yoga spaces to calm the nervous system and promote emotional wellbeing.
At a North London yoga studio, Yin Yoga teacher Helen Hegarty prepares to lead an evening sound bath inspired by the solstice.
Melanie Lowe Fismer, who is also a yoga teacher, shares the ways in which she celebrates the summer solstice and what she noticed on the day.
