Yoga & Sound Bath In The Garden

Yoga & Sound Bath is back at the Red Butte Garden Rose House this Sunday, October 18. It's part of a series of indoor yoga and sound bath classes held on Sunday mornings at the garden, and this one falls right in the middle of the autumn season. If you've been looking for a way to slow things down on a weekend, this is a good place to start.

The session combines two things that work well together: a yoga class and a sound bath. The yoga part is the active half, where you move through a sequence of poses and stretches. The sound bath follows, and that's the part where you lie down and let the sound wash over you—usually from singing bowls or other instruments—without having to do anything but listen. It's a low-pressure way to spend a morning, and since it's indoors, you don't have to worry about the weather.

The venue is the Rose House, inside Red Butte Garden on the University of Utah campus in Salt Lake City. It's a quiet spot tucked away from the city noise, and since the class is inside, you're sheltered from the wind while still being right in the middle of the garden. It's the kind of place where you can actually hear yourself think, which is half the point of a sound bath anyway.

The class runs at 9:30 AM, so it's a morning thing that leaves the rest of your Sunday open. It's one of several Sunday sessions held throughout the year, so if you can't make this one, there are others to look for. Just keep in mind that while it's listed as a regular Sunday occurrence, it's always a good idea to check for confirmation before you head up the hill.
