Welcome in the evening with a relaxing classical playlist

De-stress and wind down from your day with a mix of soothing and reflective music.

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 Chopin, Isobel Waller-Bridge and Florence Price. Plus, a chance to Press Pause with meditation teacher Maude Hirst and some essential Wind Down Wisdom from science podcaster Caroline Steel on how sharing dinner with friends can be a great way to wind down.
