This online class uses sound and meditation to give you a calming sound bath. During the class, you lay on your back on a yoga mat. Guided meditation and the sounds of 11 crystal alchemy sound bowls help heal your mind, body, and spirit.

Sound baths are based on ancient healing methods that help promote deep rest and relaxation. A sound bath is like a deep tissue massage. The benefits can include improved sleep, less stress and anxiety, and relief from chronic pain. It can also give you a renewed sense of well-being and calm. The sound bath starts with gentle breathing, followed by a guided meditation with the deep healing sounds of the sound bowls. The sounds help your mind to slow, and the body to rest and heal.

We recommend finding a comfortable space to lie down or sit during class. Headphones are also recommended but not required.
