Classical Wind DownAvailable for 26 days
Three hours of calming classical music to help you release the stresses of the day, recharge and prepare to rest - presented by Irish musician and mindfulness expert Niall Breslin. This episode features a rich blend of music from the likes of Amy Beach, Yu-Peng Chen and Beethoven. Plus a chance to Press Pause with meditation teacher Michael James Wong, and some essential Wind Down Wisdom from science podcaster Caroline Steel on how a task done in the evening, rather than saved for the morning, helps you relax. To listen on most smart speakers, just ask BBC Sounds to play Classical Wind Down.
