What do I wear to a sound bath?

Anything you'd be comfortable lying still in for an hour. Most people come in soft layers — leggings, a cozy sweatshirt, socks. You'll be on a mat the whole time, so comfort is the only rule.

Is it okay if I fall asleep during a sound bath?

Completely. It happens often, and it's not a sign you're doing it wrong — it's a sign your nervous system finally felt safe enough to let go. The sound works whether you're awake or not.

How is a sound bath different from a yoga class?

You don't move. There's no instruction, no poses, no breathwork cues. You arrive, lie down, and let the sound do the work. It's an experience for your nervous system, not your muscles.

Do I need to believe in sound healing for it to work?

No. Sound affects the body through physics — vibration, resonance, frequency. Skeptics are welcome. The only thing required is that you show up and lie down.

What should I bring to a sound bath?

Just yourself. Mats, blankets, and eye pillows are provided. If you run cold, an extra layer never hurts.
