Sense-sational sound baths are widely popular with studies showing these selective sounds permeate and resonate within us and may contribute to relaxing results. The Integratron is the sound bath venue located in Landers, just 20 miles north of Joshua Tree National Park. This fascinating dome structure declares it is “The fusion of art, science and magic.” Sound bath sessions at The Integratron are in high demand and require advanced booking. Another spot is Bliss Chakra Spa in Palm Desert, an organic day spa that has successfully combined sound healing with spa services like their Zen Package.
Yoga + Pilates
Bikram Yoga El Paseo and Coachella Yoga, Therapy & Wellness both offer classes based on the highly revered Bikram/hot yoga style. Specific room temperatures paired with a signature sequence of healing and strengthening postures are designed to activate the whole body for optimum benefits. Begin your new year with the 30-day challenge offered at Bikram Yoga El Paseo or try trapeze classes for the ultimate stretch at Coachella Yoga. And for those looking to dive deep into their movement practice, Movement Bottega recently opened a studio on El Paseo in Palm Desert that offers Pilates, personal training, holistic movement and sound bath sessions.
