Now could be the perfect time to relax with Virgin Active’s Yoga Sound Bath classes. Refresh your thoughts and relax your muscles while listening to the calming sounds of crystal quartz bowls. It’s more like a summer composer aiming to relax, rejuvenate, and work towards the inner radiance.
Discover the wonders of a Sound Bath
So, how do we define a Sound Bath at Virgin Active? Imagine being comfortably positioned and being played soothing sounds from a series of seven quartz crystal singing bowls of different notes by an instructor.
These bowls produce sound and vibrations, allowing one to feel calm and relaxed as they let the body let go of tension, calm down the mind, and centre themselves.
This class is an immersion into a state of tranquillity and being at peace, away from day-to-day life and stress.
Embrace the art of doing absolutely nothing
In today’s fast-paced world, we often need to remember to give ourselves the luxury of genuinely switching off. In a Yoga Sound Bath class, you’re encouraged to do just that: completely relax without any guilt. Just chill, recline and listen to the soothing sounds. It’s a rare opportunity to take a break from the constant buzz of life and just be without any distractions. So, this summer, forget about your to-do list and indulge in the art of doing absolutely nothing.
Dress for comfort and cosy vibes
Some suggested attires include soft, comfortable clothing like favourite track pants or warm sweaters. Virgin Active clubs have Sound Bath classes, providing members with Manduka blankets and bolsters, making them comfortable lying down. The body usually cools down slightly when deep relaxation is reached, so putting on a few layers is advisable.
Enjoy the benefits of the quartz bowls
Sound Bath is not just relaxing; it has many advantages. The sounds produced by quartz singing bowls are effective in the body and the brain. There are potential benefits, such as:

When to drop into a Sound Bath class
How many times should you go? The answer is relatively straightforward: listen to your body! If stress, restlessness, or a lack of motivation is the problem, stop by for a class. As every class builds on the advantages of the previous one, including them in your regular schedule could help maintain that summer glow throughout the year.
Experience the transformative power of sound
When you settle into your mat, the instructor will guide you through a simple centering exercise to prepare you for the class. You will feel your body and mind relaxing as the calming sound of the quartz bowls fills the room.
The vibrations of the bowls will wash over you, dissolving stress and helping you centre your energetic body. It’s not just a guided meditation; it’s a powerful practice that can help you become more calm and self-aware.
