Scottie Sound Bath Group-X Class

Thursday, May 2, 1 to 2:15 p.m., Keeler Studio, CUC

Lie down, relax and immerse yourself in sound. Also referred to as vibroacoustic therapy, a sound bath is a full-body listening experience that allows you to experience sound in a visceral way.

Conducted by trained musicians, the Scottie Sound Bath lasts 50 minutes and utilizes vibrations from quartz crystal “singing bowls” to induce deep relaxation. Our musicians will also treat you to short instrumental solos at the end of each session.

We hope that you’ll leave with mental peace, emotional balance and calm focus.
