Sound can slow your mind fast. In Bali, the Chakra Sound Sanctuary at ADDA YOGA Canggu turns a simple Sunday into a guided sound and energy session focused on your seven chakras. I like how the singing bowls carry you through the experience, and I also appreciate that healer Made guides it with real structure.

The session runs on a rooftop in open air, so it is not a silent studio. You may hear background noise from bikes, animals, and people, which is the main trade-off to know before you come.

If you want a short reset that fits cleanly into your afternoon, this 75-minute format is a solid way to spend $19. Small group size (limited to 10) keeps it calm rather than crowded.

Key points to know before you go

• Seven-chakra focus in one session: guided energy work targets the full spectrum from root to crown
• Made leads the healing: you get a clear, practitioner-led experience (session in English)
• Rooftop sound bath setting: open air is part of the vibe, but background noise is real
• Everything you need is handled: water, towel, and all sound-healing setup are included
• 75 minutes, not hours: a manageable length for a first-time chakra sound session

What you’re actually doing in a 75-minute chakra sound bath

This is not a performance where you sit and watch. You’re set up to participate by relaxing your body and letting the sound guide your attention. The session is 75 minutes, so it has enough time to feel like a real unwind, but not so long that you lose the thread or start thinking about dinner.

The core of the experience is a sound healing session using singing bowls and other sacred instruments, paired with energy work. You’ll work through your chakras—root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown—each tied to themes like grounding, creativity, confidence, love and forgiveness, communication, intuition, and spirituality.

You’ll also experience Reiki energy healing and chakra balancing as part of the flow. That combination matters for practical reasons: sound can relax your nervous system, while energy work gives the session an intentional, structured feel. You don’t have to be spiritual to benefit from the relaxation. But if you are curious about your energy centers, this is the kind of session that gives you language (chakras) and sensations (vibration, calm, heaviness or lightness) to connect the dots.

If you’re expecting a silent, monk-level retreat vibe, you might be surprised. This is gentle, laid-back, and guided—more like a well-run wellness workshop than a ceremony where you’re expected to know the rules.

Sundays at ADDA YOGA Canggu: timing, length, and what it means for your Bali day

This happens every Sunday from 14:00 to 15:15. That timing is useful. It gives you a mid-afternoon reset when you’re likely done with morning sightseeing and still have time afterward for a beach walk, a massage, or dinner in Canggu.

Because it’s a fixed weekly slot, you can plan your week without guessing. If you’re in Bali for only a few days, check your calendar early—if you miss Sunday, you miss this specific session.

The group is small—limited to 10 participants—and that changes the feel. You’re not fighting for personal space, and the healer can keep the energy focused. Small groups also help if you’re new to sound healing and you want to feel less self-conscious.

Language is English, which helps a lot. You’re guided through what you’re working on (the chakras) rather than just listening to sounds. Even if you speak some Indonesian, having clear English guidance makes it easier to settle in quickly.

At $19 for 75 minutes, you’re basically paying for structure plus a real wellness reset. In Bali, that is often hard to find at a price that doesn’t jump sky-high. The value comes from the combination: sound + chakra mapping + Reiki + a guided group experience.

Finding the rooftop studio: the meeting point that can trip you up

The session location is on top of the AAWAN Connection working space in Canggu—on the roof top. You’ll follow signs for AAWAN Connection, then locate where the ADDA YOGA studio is.

This detail matters because rooftop studios are easy to miss if you’re relying on memory or a quick glance from the street. Give yourself a little buffer and arrive early. The recommended check-in time is 15 minutes before the start.

If you show up right at 14:00, you’re likely doing the “where is the entrance” walk while your relaxation is already trying to happen. When you arrive early, you can settle in, find your spot, and get comfortable before the bowls start.

They encourage comfortable clothing since you’ll sit or lie down during the session. You don’t need anything fancy. Think soft and easy to move in—something that helps you stop fidgeting the moment you get set up.

Also note the mat situation. You can bring your own yoga mat if possible, because mats at the venue are limited. That’s a small logistical tip, but it can make the difference between fully relaxing and spending the session half-aware of your back or hips.

The chakra sequence: how the session is guided from root to crown

The session is designed around targeting specific chakras, each linked to a theme. You’ll move through the system in a guided way, so you’re not left wondering what’s happening.

Here’s the chakra framework they use:

• Root Chakra: grounding and stability
• Sacral Chakra: creativity and passion
• Solar Plexus Chakra: self-confidence and personal power
• Heart Chakra: love, compassion, and forgiveness
• Throat Chakra: communication and self-expression
• Third Eye Chakra: intuition and wisdom
• Crown Chakra: spirituality and connection to the divine

Even if you don’t buy the metaphysical side, the structure is still useful. It gives your mind something simple to follow. Your attention stays anchored while the sounds do their job.

The sound itself is the main “tool.” Singing bowls and other instruments create vibrations that can feel calming, soothing, and sometimes surprising—especially if you’re sensitive to sound or vibration. As the session progresses, many people find it easier to release muscle tension once their body recognizes the pattern: settle, listen, breathe, soften.

They also include chakra balancing and Reiki energy healing. Reiki is typically experienced as a gentle energy approach, and in a session like this it usually adds to the feeling of being held and guided. You might not interpret it the same way as someone else, but the intention is consistent: help you release stress and restore balance.

What I like about this setup is that it’s not a vague “good vibes” event. You’re given a clear map. That makes it easier to leave with something tangible, like a sense of which area felt most “activated” for you.

Rooftop sound healing: the relaxation benefits and the real noise trade-off

This is one of the biggest practical considerations: it takes place in an open rooftop area. The upside is fresh air and a lighter atmosphere than an indoor studio. You might also feel a better connection between your body and the space, especially in Bali’s warm late afternoon.

The downside is background sound. There can be noise from bikes, animals, and people. If you are the type who needs near-total silence to relax, that might pull you out of the zone.

Here’s how to handle it:

• Set your expectation first. Decide you’re coming for relaxation, not silence.
• Wear comfortable clothing so you’re not distracted by heat or fit.
• Bring your own mat if you have back issues. Physical comfort reduces the impact of outside noise.

One review noted the rooftop was ventilated and that it still felt amazing overall. Another point was that the setting is open, so you get some background sounds. That’s consistent with the venue reality. So don’t pick this expecting a soundproof meditation cave. Pick it because you want guided chakra work plus a calming sound bath with the world still around you.

If you do okay with gentle distractions, the open air can actually make the session feel less heavy. The vibrations become a steady anchor while life continues in the background.

What’s included for $19: where the value is really coming from

At $19 per person for 75 minutes, the value comes from the package, not just the instruments. You get:

• the full 75-minute sound healing session
• experienced sound healers
• Reiki energy healing
• chakra balancing
• community connection
• water, towel, and all the gears

That “all the gears” part matters. Some wellness sessions have you bring everything. Here, you’re not responsible for setting up sound tools or finding the right basics. It reduces stress before you even start relaxing.

Water and towel are also a quiet win. It sounds minor, but after a session where you’re sitting or lying down and breathing slowly, having water ready helps you transition smoothly back into your day.

Community connection is included too. Even in small groups, you can feel that collective calm. If you’re traveling solo, that matters. You’re not trapped in your own head for 75 minutes. There’s a shared experience, and it can make the whole thing feel more grounded.

They also list potential benefits you can take seriously as goals:

• reduced stress and anxiety
• improved sleep quality
• enhanced emotional balance
• spiritual awakening
• boosted immune system

A quick reality check: you don’t get proof of immune system changes in one afternoon. But improved relaxation and emotional balance are believable outcomes for many people, especially when the session is structured and guided. In other words, aim for what you can feel and measure in daily life: calmer body, quieter mind, easier sleep afterward.

Who should book this and who should skip it

You’ll likely love this if you:

• want a short, guided wellness experience rather than a long retreat
• enjoy sound-based relaxation like singing bowls
• are curious about chakras and want a structured session through the seven centers
• feel stressed and want a Sunday reset that doesn’t take over your whole day
• want English guidance and a small group setting

You might think twice if you:

• need a completely quiet, soundproof environment
• hate being on rooftops or outdoors with background activity
• expect a deeply physical yoga class instead of a seated/lying-down sound and energy session

This is best for a “slow down” afternoon in Canggu. It pairs nicely after you’ve done more active things earlier in the day, or before you head out for dinner when you want your mind settled rather than buzzing.

Should you book ADDA YOGA’s Chakra Sound Sanctuary in Bali?

If you want a practical way to try sound healing and chakra balancing, I think this is a strong yes. The session length is manageable, it’s led in English, and the price is reasonable for a 75-minute guided group experience. I also like that they provide water, towel, and the full setup.

The only reason I would hesitate is the rooftop reality. If you’re ultra-sensitive to background noise, you may find it harder to fully tune out. Still, if you can relax even with mild distractions, the open-air setting and the guided chakra sequence can make it feel natural and easy.

My decision rule: if you’re coming to soften stress and get a calm reset for the week, book it. If you need silence as part of your spirituality, choose a different style of session.
