Invigorate your spirit and calm your mind with these sound healing classes
Sound healing may sound like woo woo concept to some, but it has the ability to improve many facets of your life: including emotional and social development, cognitive and motor functioning, and psychological and psychiatric health. For the uninitiated, vibrations from a combination of vocals, gongs, Tibetan singing bowls and tuning forks are incorporated into yoga practice or meditation in order to relax your mind and body.
And you don't have to travel to Tibet or Peru to experience this, either. You can find gong meditation or sound healing at various yoga and meditation studios in Singapore, led by some of the most experienced gurus and practitioners. Invigorate your spirit and calm your mind at these sound healing classes in Singapore.

Gong meditation
This hidden sanctuary in Kampong Bugis offers wellness classes and workshops meant to calm the mind and heal the spirit. Among them is the hour-long gong meditation class, which begins with a seated guided meditation by instructor Kristin, followed by a gentle qigong practice to get your 'qi' or life force flowing. For the last half an hour, you get to lie down, relax, and let the sonorous sound of the gong wash over you. It's pretty transcendental.
Crystal bowl and gong baths
Recharge and renew with sound therapy sessions with Wenyogaheal. Led by Wendy – who has trained in therapy harp, gong, alchemy crystal bowls and flute sound healing – these sessions are timed to sunsets and full moons, signalling times of rest and cycles of completion. These sessions take place at various studios in Singapore, including Mindful Space, with some sessions even taking place outside (such as Bay East Garden) – all the better to commune and feel one with nature.
Sound Bath Meditation
Vibe with handcrafted singing bowls all the way from Nepal at The Singing Bowl Gallery. The popular sound bath sessions will help you achieve deep relaxation as the reverberating sounds and vibrations from the singing bowls help you transcend into a peaceful and mindful state of being.
The session begins with an introduction to singing bowl sound bath followed by a 10-minute breathing exercise, 40-minute sound bath and 15-minute Q&A session.
