Sound Spa Experience at Ards Yoga & Wellness
An Immersive Sound Spa Experience with Tessa Ann
This Sound Spa Experience is held within the spacious studio at Ards Yoga & Wellness Rooms in Newtownards, guided by Tessa Ann.
Created using singing bowls, gongs, voice and subtle percussion, the experience offers an opportunity to step away from the pace of everyday life, settle comfortably and spend time immersed in sound.
With some spoken guidance at the beginning, the emphasis is on direct experience through sound, listening and moments of stillness. Participants are invited to engage in their own way, allowing the sounds to unfold naturally throughout the space.
Many people experience a sense of relaxation, restoration and wellbeing, while also discovering different ways of listening, reflecting and connecting with themselves and the environment around them.

The Experience
The experience begins with a short introduction before participants are invited to settle comfortably, either lying down or seated.
Sound is created and delivered live using a combination of Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, gongs, voice and subtle percussion, creating a layered and evolving sound environment.
At times the sound may be gentle and spacious, while at others it may become richer and more immersive. There is no particular way you need to experience it. The invitation is simply to listen, notice and allow the experience to unfold in your own way.
As the experience progresses, there is space for stillness, reflection and sensory rest.

The experience takes place within the spacious studio at Ards Yoga & Wellness Rooms in Newtownards.
Participants may choose to lie down or remain seated throughout the experience.
