- Arrive early. Come about 10 minutes before start time to settle in and choose your spot.
- Get comfortable. We provide mats, bolsters, blankets and eye pillows. Wear soft layers.
- Rest and listen. The facilitator plays singing bowls, gongs and chimes while you lie back. There's nothing to do and no way to get it wrong.

Sound bath FAQs
What happens at a sound bath at Very Well KC?
You'll settle onto a mat with bolsters and blankets while the facilitator plays instruments such as singing bowls, gongs and chimes. There's nothing to do but rest and listen. Our Wednesday class opens with a short guided yoga nidra practice, then moves into the sound bath.
Do I need any experience?
No. Sound baths are made for beginners, and most of the time is spent lying down. You don't need to know yoga or meditation. If lying on the floor isn't comfortable, tell us when you arrive and we'll set you up with extra support or a chair.
What should I wear and bring?
Wear soft, comfortable clothes and layers, since the room can feel cool when you're still. Mats, bolsters, blankets and eye pillows are provided. Bring water and anything that helps you feel cozy, such as socks or your own blanket. Plan to arrive about ten minutes early.
Is a sound bath right for everyone?
Most people find sound baths relaxing, and you can rest however feels best. Please let us know before class if you're pregnant, have tinnitus or sensitivity to sound, have a pacemaker or other implanted device, or have a seizure condition. If you have a health concern, check with your healthcare provider first.

The Wednesday 5:30–6:30 pm Yoga Nidra + Sound Bath is $25 as a drop-in. Members save 20%, applied automatically when they register, so it's $20. A 10-class package is $200, which works out to $20 a class and never expires. Seasonal and themed events are priced individually.
Can I book a private sound bath for my group?
