After meeting Debbie at the Big Retreat Festival and experiencing her incredible 90-minute sound bath, I knew I had to invite her onto the podcast. Many people still don’t know what a sound bath is or why they might want to attend one — so in this episode, Debbie walks us through the whole experience. She explains what a sound bath actually is, the instruments she uses, and how these sounds can affect both the body and the mind. She also describes what to expect from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. For many, it can be a deeply calming and even transformative experience — I personally feel completely relaxed and reset after one. I especially love floating sound baths, which we also talk about. In Debbie’s studio in Wales, participants are suspended in hammocks for a truly unique experience. We also explore what yoga means to Debbie, and how she supports people navigating menopause and grief through her practice. If you’ve never tried a sound bath before, I hope this episode inspires you to give it a go. I’d love to hear what you think.
