Can a yoga studio book a sound bath as a class or a workshop?

Yes. Firstwater comes to the studio with the sound system, the mats, the blankets and the waivers, sets up about ninety minutes before doors, and runs a seventy-five-minute session on the studio's own schedule: a Sunday morning, a Saturday afternoon, a workshop slot, the session before a retreat weekend. The facilitator tunes the sound system to the studio before the doors open.

Does a sound bath work at an office at lunchtime?

Yes. It needs a conference space or a cleared floor with enough space for everyone to lie down, a standard outlet, low light, and about ninety minutes of setup ahead of doors. The session itself is seventy-five minutes, which fits a long lunch, and nobody has to say a word.

Is a sound bath suitable for seniors and senior centers?

Yes. It's the same seventy-five-minute session at a senior center or a senior living community, and a resident who can't get down to a mat rests in a seat or a recliner instead. Nobody is asked to do anything but rest, and the facilitator tunes the sound system to the space.

Can you bring a sound bath to a school, a hospice or a recovery center?

Yes. Firstwater books for schools, hospices and hospitals as well as companies: a staff day at a school, a session for families or staff at a hospice, a session in a recovery program. Tell us who will be in the space and we'll plan it with you.

What does a venue need to host a sound bath?

Enough floor for everyone to lie down, a standard outlet, low light, and about ninety minutes before doors. Everything else, the sound system, the mats, the blankets and the waivers, arrives with the facilitator. If your space won't work, the session runs in a partner space in Denver.

How much does a daytime sound bath cost?

We publish no prices of our own. Send the date, the headcount and the space, and we'll come back with a recommendation and a price for that session. A sound bath in the morning and live music that evening is one booking on one contract.

Daytime sound bath

A daytime sound bath for your studio, your office or your program.

Firstwater’s sound bath is on this roster for corporate teams, offsites and retreats, and it books during the day just as well: a Sunday morning class at a yoga studio, a lunchtime session in a conference space, an afternoon at a senior center, a staff day at a school, a session at a hospice or a recovery center, or the morning that opens a retreat. Seventy-five minutes, one facilitator, and people lying down in low light with nothing to do and nothing to say.

This is the sound bath page of our daytime bookings, and the act itself is on Firstwater’s roster page. What you book is Firstwater: one facilitator, who brings the sound system, the mats, the blankets and the waivers to your space, or holds the session in a partner space in Denver.

Where it books

Six places a sound bath fits during the day.

The session is the same in each of them. What changes is who is lying on the floor and what the venue needs to supply.

A yoga studio’s schedule: A studio adds it as a class or a workshop on its own schedule: a Sunday morning, a Saturday afternoon, the session before a retreat weekend. The studio’s students lie down, the facilitator tunes the sound system to the studio, and for seventy-five minutes the space sounds like a different one.
An office at lunchtime: A session in a conference space or on a cleared floor, inside a long lunch, for a wellness week or the week after a hard quarter. Firstwater sets up about ninety minutes ahead of doors, the lights go low, and the session runs seventy-five minutes with a stretch of real silence in the middle of it.
A senior center or a senior living community: A sound bath for seniors is the same session with the lights low and the floor covered in mats and blankets, and a resident who can’t get down to a mat rests in a seat or a recliner instead. Nobody is asked to do anything but rest, and the facilitator tunes the sound system to the space.
A hospice or a recovery center: A session for the people in care, for their families, or for the staff. The session is guided in the lightest way, nobody is asked to speak or to share, and someone who can’t lie on a mat rests where they are.
A school: A staff day, a session for teachers at the end of a term, or a session built into a student program. A gym or a hall holds a whole staff on mats.
A retreat morning: The morning that opens a retreat, at a lodge in the mountains or a house on the Front Range. The corporate retreats page covers the evenings around it, and a sound bath in the morning and live music that night is one booking on one contract.

The session

Seventy-five minutes, and what a venue needs.

The lights go down, everyone lies down, and the facilitator opens the session with a short ceremony. For seventy-five minutes there are live instruments played over music composed for the session, with bass deep enough to feel in your chest, and a stretch of real silence in the middle. It closes the way it opened. There’s nothing to follow and nothing to get right, and someone who sleeps through the second half has used the hour well.

The venue supplies enough floor for everyone to lie down with a little space between the mats, a standard outlet, and about ninety minutes before doors for the facilitator to set up and tune the sound system to the space. Firstwater brings the rest, the sound system, the mats, the blankets and the waivers, and phones stay in bags for the length of it.

Send the headcount and the space and we’ll tell you whether it fits, or hold the session in a partner space in Denver instead. The plain answers to what happens at a sound bath, what to wear and what it’s like to be in one are on Firstwater’s own FAQ.
