A gentle start to the day with beautiful classical music
Classical UnwindAvailable for 29 days
Calming classical music to help you focus and set you up for the day ahead. Presented by broadcaster, author and counselling psychologist Dr Sian Williams. Featuring uplifting, peaceful melodies from Lavinia Meijer, Beethoven, and Anna Meredith, Sian finds the joy of feeling sand between her toes while out to take a breath. Plus, Professor Catherine Loveday explains why music that moves us emotionally can also lead us to engaging in more prosocial behaviour.
