Sound in Savasana: Lee Bloomfield

  • Well House Yoga Space Well House Farm, Cote Hill Road Felliscliffe, Harrogate HG3 2LN United Kingdom (map)

Sound in Savasana is a practical, hands-on workshop designed specifically for yoga teachers who would like to use a small amount of gentle sound during final relaxation. 

It is not a sound therapy qualification or a sound bath facilitator training. Instead, it focuses on the thoughtful use of sound within the scope of yoga teaching.

Together we’ll explore how simple instruments such as singing bowls, chimes and rainsticks can support rest, attention and the atmosphere of a yoga class, while remaining grounded in good practice, clear boundaries and participant choice.

Throughout our time together you’ll experience demonstrations, practical exercises and opportunities to practise using sound yourself in a supportive, relaxed environment.

During the workshop we’ll explore:

·         What sound can—and cannot—offer within a yoga class.

·         How gentle sound may support nervous system settling and quiet attention.

·         Creating a warm, safe and trauma-sensitive environment for savasana.

·         Common instruments, how they behave and when to use them.

·         Simple playing techniques with an emphasis on restraint rather than performance.

·         How to design a thoughtful 5–10 minute sound-supported savasana.

·         Practical teaching experience with supportive feedback.

·         Professional boundaries, insurance considerations and honest marketing.

By the end of the workshop you will be able to:

·         Introduce gentle sound into savasana with greater confidence and clarity.

·         Choose and use one or two simple instruments appropriately.

·         Create a safe, consent-based environment for sound-supported relaxation.

·         Design a simple sound-supported savasana suitable for your own classes.

·         Describe your offering honestly and professionally, without over-claiming.

·         Understand when further sound therapy training may be appropriate.

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is ideal for:

·         Qualified yoga teachers.

·         Yoga teacher trainees approaching qualification.

·         Restorative and yin yoga teachers.

·         Teachers who already own an instrument but lack confidence using it.

·         Teachers considering introducing gentle sound into their classes for the first time.

·         No previous musical experience is needed.

As part of the workshop you’ll receive a printed workbook including:

·         A simple framework for planning a sound-supported savasana.

·         A safety and consent checklist.

·         A guide to choosing your first instrument.
