The Dubai floating sound healing class helping you relax
So much so, that a series of floating sound healing classes have not only been a sell-out, but have now become a permanent fixture at venues across the city.
The night sessions have become so popular, that Beyond Wellness has now extended the schedule and locations throughout both Dubai, including at One&Only Royal Mirage.
Doing more than what it says on the tin, the sessions aren't just an aesthetic hour in the pool, they're a chance for a full-on switch off.
Ready to relax? Check out exactly what to expect below.
What to expect
The pool is booked out entirely for the class, meaning the place is completely silent and prepped for some serious sound healing.
Giving a magical look, the water is lit while Dubai Marina glitters in the background, but the rest of the venue is darkened to help you unwind.
Little (electric) candles even flicker on each of the floating beds, which the team will help you slide onto and out into the pool.
Lying out flat, the beds slowly move around underneath the palm trees, but the space is large and you're not likely to collide with any other classmates.
As you'd imagine, any rash or sudden movements might cause you tip off into the pool, so the session forces you to relax and be still right from the get go.

Using a selection of Tibetan and crystal singing bowls as well as other instruments, the melodies are designed to promote deep relaxation.
Encouraged to focus your mind and your breathing, the hour-long class winds you right down, making it an ideal end of day (or end of week) activity.
We should warn you, time will really fly here — especially if you might have dozed off into a meditative nap.
Going all out to help you switch off, this class is so Dubai and we love it.

Dalai Lama given Scottish classic as 90th birthday present
Daydreams Bookshop in Milngavie presented a copy of Nan Shepherd's classic, The Living Mountain, to the Dalai Lama ahead of his birthday, delivered personally by Scottish Green MSP Ross Greer during a visit to India. Ross Greer, Scottish Greens MSP for the West of Scotland, said: "It was the privilege of a lifetime to meet with His Holiness the Dalai Lama ahead of his 90th birthday and to share with him the best wishes of his many friends in Scotland. "I was delighted to present him with a copy of Nan Shepherd's Scottish literary classic, The Living Mountain, from our fantastic local independent bookshop, Daydreams Bookshop. "This book is rightly recognised as the finest ever written about nature here in Scotland. "I know it will resonate with him, given the similarly deep connections that the peoples of Scotland and Tibet have with our natural environments." Elaine Sinclair, owner of Daydreams Bookshop, said: "We were delighted to be able to provide this wonderful Scottish book which has gone on an incredible journey with Ross from our wee bookshop in Milngavie, all the way to the hands of the Dalai Lama in India. "Ross and his staff have welcomed us warmly to Milngavie (with his office just a few doors along from us) and we are very grateful for his ongoing support."

His visit to Dharamsala, home to the Tibetan Government-in-Exile, included meetings with the President, Education Minister, and Speaker of the Parliament. The Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government have lived in exile in India since 1959, following China's occupation of Tibet. He used his 90th birthday to announce that the institution would continue after his death and that only his foundation would have the authority to appoint his successor.

"I am now keen to establish partnerships between our fantastic local schools and their equivalents in the Tibetan exile community. "With America cutting the funding these schools depended on, many are now struggling, but I know that kind-hearted and internationalist people here in Scotland would be willing to offer support."
