Sunday sound in Toronto
Sound baths in Toronto gather on Sundays, most of them in the afternoon and early evening. People lie down, close their eyes and let singing bowls, gong and other instruments fill the room. The classes are slow and restful, and many pair the sound with yin, restorative yoga or gentle stretch. Sunday is the day to come.
Where to start: 889 Community in Annex, Groove Pilates & Wellness Bar in Yonge-Eglinton or Aura Aerial Art centre in Newtonbrook West

When the sound baths happen
Most of the classes in this collection are sound baths, and most of them run on Sundays. Starts range from 2pm to 7pm, and the busiest times are 2pm, 3:30pm, 5:15pm and 5:30pm. The middle of the afternoon and the early evening are where this practice gathers in Toronto.
The sound comes in many forms. Some classes use singing bowls alone, some add gong, and some use a blend of instruments with spoken affirmations. Others pair the sound with yin yoga, restorative poses, yoga nidra or breathwork, so the body is supported while the sound plays.
Where to find them
Studios here are spread across several neighborhoods. 889 Community in Annex offers Yin Yoga + Soundbath and a longer Restorative Yoga + Reiki + Soundbath. Groove Pilates & Wellness Bar in Yonge-Eglinton runs Gratitude, which mixes sound with restorative movement and breathwork. Aura Aerial Art centre in Newtonbrook West has a Non-Sleep Deep Rest session with sound and an aerial hammock.
OHA Wellness Toronto in Fort York-Liberty Village offers a candlelight sound bath with singing bowls, and The Villij in South Riverdale runs a soundscape meditation of about 90 minutes. Each studio has its own feel, so it is worth looking at a few before choosing.

Where should someone new to sound baths start?
A class at 889 Community in Annex is a good place to begin. Its Yin Yoga + Soundbath runs 60 minutes, and it is a calm way to sit with sound and a slow practice. Some classes are marked as a first class ever, which makes them a gentle entry point.
