Sound Baths

Join a unique group experience that invites you to slow down and reconnect.
Our Sound Baths are shared journeys into stillness and renewal. Together with others, you’ll rest in the calming vibrations of Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, and other resonant instruments. As the sounds unfold around you, tension softens and the mind becomes quiet — leaving space for balance, peace, and a gentle sense of clarity.

What to expect during Sound Bath

This 90-minute experience invites you to unwind and reconnect on a deeper level. We begin seated together, taking a moment to arrive and set a gentle intention for the session. After a brief introduction, you’ll be invited to lie down, wrap yourself in a soft blanket, and settle into stillness. Eye pillows or other comfort items are welcome — this is your space to feel fully at ease.

As the body relaxes, it’s natural for your temperature to lower slightly, so warmth and comfort are always our priority.

The journey begins with a guided Yoga Nidra practice, easing you into a state of deep rest and heightened awareness. From there, the sounds of Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, chimes, ocean drums, and other instruments gradually unfold — creating layers of resonance that guide the mind and body into profound tranquility.

After about 60 minutes, you’ll be gently guided back to the present moment. Take your time — move softly, stretch, and allow yourself to reawaken at your own pace.

To close, we gather for tea — a quiet moment to ground, connect, and share if you wish. Each participant also receives a reflection card, a personal space to note down feelings, insights, or intentions that may have surfaced. You’re invited to take it with you as a simple reminder of your journey and the calm that remains within.

History of Sound Baths

The practice of sound baths traces back through centuries of human history, crossing cultures and continents. It is a story of how people have long turned to sound — not only as art or communication, but as a means of healing and transformation.

Across ancient civilizations — from Egypt and Greece to India, China, and many indigenous traditions — sound and music were regarded as sacred. Singing bowls, gongs, and drums were used in rituals, meditation, and medicine, their vibrations believed to restore balance and harmony to body and mind.

Among these instruments, Tibetan singing bowls — also known as Himalayan bowls — hold a particularly meaningful place. For centuries, they have been used throughout Tibet and Nepal to accompany meditation and healing practices. When played, their resonant tones create layers of vibration that invite deep stillness and a profound sense of inner peace.

Indigenous cultures around the world have long understood the transformative power of sound. Within many shamanic traditions, drums, rattles, and vocal chants were used to shift awareness, restore balance, and open pathways to healing — both for individuals and their communities.

The gong, with its deep and enveloping resonance, has held a sacred role across Asia for thousands of years. In China, Japan, and beyond, its sound was seen as a bridge between the earthly and the spiritual. Over time, this tradition also found its way into Europe, where the rich vibrations of the gong continue to offer profound moments of stillness, release, and renewal.

The 20th century marked a new chapter in our understanding of sound. Scientists began exploring how vibration interacts with matter, offering insight into what ancient cultures had intuited for centuries. Swiss researcher Hans Jenny’s pioneering work in cymatics revealed the visible patterns created by sound frequencies, highlighting the profound connection between vibration and physical form.

As holistic awareness grew during the latter half of the century, sound healing found new expression within the wellness movement. Practitioners began to integrate singing bowls, gongs, and other instruments into meditative and therapeutic settings, reawakening a timeless practice for the modern world.

In recent decades, science has continued to affirm what many have experienced firsthand: sound can calm the nervous system, ease stress and anxiety, and support both physical and emotional balance. This meeting of ancient wisdom and modern understanding forms the foundation of today’s sound baths — where resonance, rest, and renewal converge.

Today, sound baths are readily accessible and appreciated for their capacity to reduce stress, enhance mindfulness, and support holistic wellness. These transformative experiences are offered in various settings, including wellness centers, spas, yoga studios, and private sessions.
