Why sound bath?
First of all, historically sound healing practices have been around for centuries within various traditions such as Tibetan singing bowls, Native American drumming, and Gregorian chants. Today, research has shown that sound baths offer vibrational therapy noting that vibrations affect the body at a cellular level. Insights show that different frequencies impact our mental health and physical health. Studies have noted that sound waves have an influence on brainwave patters which impact relaxation and focus. Not only has sound bathing had studies that indicate its impact on mindfulness and meditation practices but also for emotional wellbeing and stress reduction.
If you want to get even more science-y with it, studies have examined the impact of sound on neuroplasticity supporting our cognitive functioning and recovery from trauma.
It is important to note that your participation in a sound bath is intended for relaxation and personal enjoyment. While many individuals find sound baths beneficial for stress reduction and overall well-being, they are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Meet Liane of LMNO Yoga
With over 20 years of yoga practice, my journey began as a personal path to healing. Diagnosed with a chronic pain disorder in my early 20s, I turned to yoga as a means of self-care and recovery. This commitment led me to pursue a 200-hour certification through the Yoga Center of Minneapolis, where I honed my focus on nervous system regulation and the transformative power of mindful movement.
In the past two years, I discovered the profound effects of sound baths, which inspired me to begin studying sound healing facilitation. Combining yoga and sound, I aim to create a holistic experience for my students, supporting them in finding balance, peace, and healing on and off the mat.
