Discovery Green offers Houston a “Week of Zen” to decompress

Discovery Green would like to gives visitors an opportunity to decompress this week by offering guided sound meditations Monday through Thursday. As part of our mission to be a source of health and happiness for all, we invite you to take a moment for yourself to rest and unwind. Whether you’re stressed from work, election fatigue or gearing up for the holidays, let Discovery Green be your place for respite. 

Led by Saumil Manek playing quartz crystal bowls, the sound vibrations provide a pleasant place to set your thoughts aside while allowing your body to relax and de-stress. Studies have found sound meditations help reduce tension, anger, fatigue, anxiety and depression while increasing a sense of well-being. Discovery Green’s 12-acres of uncommonly beautiful greenspace provides the perfect setting for these guided meditations. 

The meditations will take place after this week’s exercise classes which start at 6:30 pm. The schedule is as follows: 

Monday at 6:30 pm

Clase de Yoga Respiración Consciente y Meditación de Sonidos en Español (Yoga in Spanish) at 6:30 pm followed by Sound Meditation at 7:30 pm
