Harrogate school offers 'sound baths' to boost wellbeing
Pupils at Harrogate independent prep school Belmont Grosvenor took part in their first-ever sound bath experience as part of the school’s wellbeing programme.
Sound meditation practitioner Sudeshna Sarkar visited the school in Birstwith to run a series of sound workshops during Children’s Mental Health Week.
The older children explored the science behind sound and to learn how sounds can have a healing effect on body and mind.
A sound bath is a meditative experience where you lie down and are 'bathed' in different sounds.
All pupils had a go at playing the gongs, Himalayan bowls, chimes, crystal bowls and other instruments before experiencing a brief sound bath.
