The Yoga Studio

Full sound bath journey - A sound bath is a full body immersive experience. The participant lies down and is 'bathed' in sound waves produced from a variety of healing instruments, including drums, chimes and singing bowls. A wash of pure sound that has notable resonance, overtones and binaural beats. The effect is irresistible, brain waves slow down, soothing the mind and body into a restful state.

A beautiful five elements meditation will be included to move through the earth, water, fire, air and space elements of the body.
