Sound yoga

As Drop-in Mindfulness continues to grow in popularity, it has a new reincarnation in the Woom Center, which augments its easily accessible yoga and meditation sessions with a first-of-its kind immersive sound system. Visual projections designed by Dan Baker and Bradley Leinhardt respond to the sound vibrations to create a 3D immersive experience.

During designated segments of the yoga classes visitors are invited to wear an eye-mask in order to block visual stimuli and focus participants’ minds more fully on the session. The classes are augmented by a custom-designed blend of essential oils created to stimulate the olfactory system.

‘In our over-stimulated society, people have trouble focusing their attention,’ Elian told the Observer. ‘At Woom, there is no way not to focus on the yoga experience, as there is something new to see every time you fold yourself into an inversion.’
