What this is

I host sound baths using Tibetan singing bowls, shamanic drumming, ocean drums, rain sticks, and gongs. Check the timetable for current dates.

You don't do anything except lie down and listen. No yoga experience needed, no flexibility required, no effort on your part. Just turn up and get comfortable with blankets and cushions.

"You lie down while I play gongs, bowls and drums. No poses, no flexibility, nothing to get right."

The hour

What happens

Settle in

Lie down on a yoga mat with blankets and cushions. Get as comfortable as possible - you'll be here for about an hour.

The sound

I play singing bowls, gongs and drums. The sound rises and falls in waves rather than staying at one level. Your only job is to lie there.

Coming back

The session ends gradually, giving you time to come round. Many people feel floaty or sleepy afterwards.

Background

My training

I learned sound work from Anne Malone, and trained specifically in gong work with James Crossley and through a weekend gong intensive with Sheila Whittaker.

Before you book

What the sound is like

Gongs get loud. Not painful, but louder than you might expect, and you feel the vibration through the floor as much as you hear it. The bowls and drums are much gentler, and the volume builds and fades over the hour rather than staying up the whole time.

You're lying under blankets for about an hour. If the volume is ever too much, you can move your mat farther from the gong - just tell me, or set up farther away from the start.

People notice different things during a session. Some drift in and out of sleep. Some see colours or images. Some just lie there making shopping lists. I won't tell you what your experience means, and you don't have to share it with anyone.

Who comes to these

People dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, or insomnia
Anyone going through a difficult time who needs an hour of rest
People curious about sound therapy who want to try it for themselves
Regular yoga students who want a longer rest than end-of-class relaxation
Anyone who just needs an hour to completely switch off

Common questions

Ready to try it?

Book online when sessions are available. If you have questions about whether it's right for you, email me. I'm happy to have a proper conversation about what to expect.

Some people become regulars after their first session. Others come once in a while when life gets too loud. Both are fine.

Nervous about your first class? Email me first. I'm happy to talk through what to expect.
