The Art of Sound

A 3-Day Certification

Learn to guide powerful sound baths through hands-on training, theory, and live practice.

Join EJ (@wild.earth.yoga) and Emma Hey (@craftingtheelements) for a transformative three-day Sound Bath Certification at Dragon Asana June 12–14. This training is designed for anyone ready to deepen their understanding of sound as a healing modality and confidently guide immersive experiences.

Over the weekend, you’ll explore the history and science of sound healing, work hands-on with instruments like Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, gongs, drums, and chimes, and learn how to create and sequence powerful sound journeys. This experiential training blends theory, practice, and intuition, covering everything from resonance and binaural beats to holding sacred space and guiding group sessions.

The certification culminates in a live practicum and public sound bath, giving you real-world experience before graduation. Max participants is 12 (we’ve gone up to 14 in the past and it works well). Whether you’re a yoga teacher, wellness practitioner, or simply drawn to the power of sound, this training offers a supportive path into the world of sound healing.
