Sound Bath with Sarah Kuruvilla
2025-09-12 12:30 - 13:25 | Center For Health & Fitness, 514 North Prospect Avenue, 2nd Floor, Redondo Beach, CA, 90277, United States
Let your body unwind and your mind settle during a deeply relaxing Sound Bath. This guided, meditative experience uses soothing tones—often from crystal singing bowls, chimes, and gentle percussion—to “bathe” you in layered sound. The vibrations encourage your nervous system to downshift, helping release tension, quiet busy thoughts, and promote a sense of spacious calm. No experience is required; you simply lie down or sit comfortably and listen.
What to expect:
After a brief grounding, Sarah will weave restorative soundscapes designed to support rest and reset. Many participants report feeling lighter, clearer, and more centered afterward.
Is this for me?
Sound Baths are generally gentle and accessible. If you have sound sensitivities, a history of seizures triggered by sound, or implanted medical devices, please consult your clinician first.
