Discover all our Sound Bath retreat holidays

Sound Bath & Yoga

A sound bath, also known as a singing bowl session, is a form of sound therapy where vibrations are produced by instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other resonant tools. During a sound bath, you typically lie comfortably on the floor, experiencing the vibrating sound waves that move through the air and your body. The purpose of a sound bath is to induce a deep state of relaxation and meditation. The sound waves can be perceived as healing, reducing physical, mental, and emotional tension. The facilitator of the sound bath creates a soundscape by playing the various instruments harmoniously, allowing you to fully surrender to the experience.
