Sunday Soul Soothing Yoga Session & Mini-EFT Workshop with URBN Well

Sunday 8th of February 2026 reBalance Bath

The Gainsborough Bath Spa hotel is delighted to share a morning of self-care in The Chapel, nestled into the beautiful walls of the Hotel. This two hour event is suitable for all abilities, led by expert practitioners Bex Bridgford and Lana King, from URBN Well.

Be your own Valentine this year, and give yourself the invaluable gift of time, quietness, reflection and self-awareness.

In this very special workshop the focus will be placed on Cultivating Self-Love through self-awareness techniques, including Yoga, soothing movement, sound, and an introduction to EFT (tapping). You will leave with different tips and tools to take home, encouraging continued self-care.

The practice will combine a flowing yoga sequence, an introduction to EFT through a mini workshop, before eventually sinking into a soft and supportive restorative yoga practice, and finishing with a crystal bowl sound bath.

This is going to be a session where you will be invited to put yourself first, and really listen to what your body needs. With the intention to encourage and offer you a better understanding of how we can amplify our daily lives through simple self-care moments.

The Gainsborough Bath Spa

The Gainsborough Bath Spa occupies two Grade II Listed buildings with distinguished Georgian and Victorian façades in the heart of the World Heritage Site. Named after the artist, Sir Thomas Gainsborough, the luxury hotel is centred around and, uniquely in the UK, has the exclusive privilege of having access to the natural thermal, mineral-rich waters.

• 1730 – The original building resided Dr Charles Bave, an early proposer of the Bath General Hospital.
• 1747 – 1786 – The Lower Borough Walls of the building became the Casualty Hospital and Bath City Infirmary and Dispensary
• 1826 – The two establishments are combined by architect John Pitch, to become the United Hospital, with an entrance on Beau Street. A small chapel is designed by G.P. Manners
• 1863 – 1864 – The original building is extended and the Albert Wing was added by architect J. E. Gill. The hospital is granted the ‘Royal’ prefix and buildings on Lower Borough Walls, including the Medical Officers Residence (The Old House), the ‘Dissecting Room’, and the ‘Dead House’ are connected by a walkway to the Royal United Hospital (RUH)
• 1932 – A new RUH is opened in Coombe Park, Bath to replace the buildings on Lower Borough Walls. Bath Technical College occupies the Beau Street buildings until 2005.
• 2006 – Planning permission is sought for a new 97-bedroom Spa Hotel by the Bath Hotel and Spa Company - a joint venture of the Trevor Osbourne Property Group and CP Holdings Ltd. The development is designed to restore another aspect of Bath’s Spa Culture in the heart of the City’s historic Spa Quarter. The Hotel is named after Sir Thomas Gainsborough, the famed portrait and landscape artist who lived in Bath between 1759 and 1774.
