Suite Dreams

Yoga and sleep are naturally related. How many times have you fallen asleep during savasana at the end of a yoga class? So why do millions of people suffer from insomnia? The Fairmont Washington, D.C., now offers a program that helps teach you how to take that relaxed state off the mat and onto your mattress. Sleep therapist and dream weaver Ann Dyer is now imparting her sleep secrets and tools with overnight experiences called zYogaLIVE “The Yoga Sleep Ritual,” which helps guests reclaim the power to doze off into a restful, rejuvenating, and age-defying state of sleep.

Healing LIfestyles & Spas sponsored the first sleep ritual at the Fairmont Washington, D.C., this past August. The dreamy evening getaway began with a stroll though Georgetown followed by calming spa treatments. Finally, sleep guru Ann Dyer hosted her ninety-minute zYoga seminar then bid her guests adieu as they retreated back to their rooms to find a complimentary CD of zMusic, The Sound Way to Sleep™, a soothing smoothie, and the promise of a dream-infused sleep.

Guests staying at the Fairmont Washington, D.C., will have the opportunity to benefit from zYoga throughout the year with the zMusic CD by www.sleepgarden.com available for purchase in all guest rooms. The zYoga DVD and zMovie DVD are also offered for purchase from the in-room “Sleep Menu” or can be borrowed from the lending library on the Fairmont Gold Floor or through the hotel’s concierge.
