Sound bath and Yoga Nidra in Charlotte.
Lie down, settle in and let sound and a guiding voice do the rest. RUMA's restful experiences pop up at selected spaces around Charlotte.
What a RUMA sound bath is
A sound bath is a practice of resting while sound fills the room. At RUMA it's the heart of two experiences: Sound Bath + Yoga Nidra, a sound bath paired with guided Yoga Nidra, and Sound + Restorative Experiences, slower sessions that may include supported restorative positions, breathwork, guided relaxation, sound or Yoga Nidra.
Yoga Nidra is guided relaxation done lying down: you follow the teacher's voice and let your body and attention settle. There's very little movement and nothing to get right, which is why both experiences are open to all levels, including people who have never taken a yoga class.
Restoration is part of RUMA's programming, not an afterthought. These sessions are made for the end of a long week, a busy mind, or simply the wish to slow down for a while. Explore every format on Classes.

What should I bring to a sound bath?
Bring comfortable clothing and water; RUMA provides the equipment for class unless your class details say otherwise. Many people like an extra layer, because you stay still for most of the session.
