Sound Baths York – Candlelight Sound Bath & Intro to a Cacao Experience
2026-04-10 19:15 - 20:45 | Bodyworks Studio, 53A Front Street, York, England, YO24 3BR, United Kingdom
Experience the soothing power of sound in our 90-minute Sound Bath by candlelight in York, where healing vibrations meet peaceful ambiance and the gentle, heart-opening qualities of cacao.
We begin with a small cup of warm, mild ceremonial cacao—a gentle introduction to its calming and grounding effects. Cacao is known as a heart-opening plant medicine, traditionally used to support emotional release, inner clarity, and spiritual connection. It helps create a sense of warmth, openness, and presence—making it a beautiful way to begin your journey inward.
Following cacao, you’ll be guided through gentle stretches and pranayama (breathwork) to help you relax and settle into your body. A peaceful guided meditation will quiet the mind and prepare you for the immersive sound journey ahead.
As the room softly glows with candlelight, you’ll be bathed in the harmonizing tones of seven crystal sound bowls and the deep, resonant vibrations of a Chinese wind gong. These healing frequencies work on a deep energetic level, helping to release stress, clear emotional blockages, and restore a natural sense of balance and peace.
Whether you’re seeking relaxation, emotional healing, or simply a moment of stillness, this candlelit sound bath offers a safe, nurturing space to reconnect with yourself.
Join us in York for this deeply restorative Sound Bath & Cacao Experience, and let the soothing sounds and heart-led energy guide you back to calm and clarity.

After a beautiful season of maternity leave, I’m so excited to welcome you back to Cultivate Kindness for a very special evening of movement, stillness and deep relaxation.

Why Join This Special Welcome Back Class?
This class marks the beginning of a brand new season at Cultivate Kindness.
After spending precious time on maternity leave, I wanted our first class back together to feel different.
Rather than jumping straight into regular weekly classes, this evening is an opportunity for us all to pause, reconnect and create space before beginning another chapter together.
Whether life has felt busy, stressful or overwhelming—or you simply miss taking time for yourself—this is your invitation to reset.
Let’s begin this new season with intention.
