Sound baths & yoga for deep rest in Folsom–Sacramento

---

Hi, I’m Melissa, a yoga teacher and sound healer based in Folsom, CA. I create immersive sound bath journeys across Greater Sacramento where we slow down, breathe, and actually rest. We begin with a guided meditation, then ease into a sound bath with crystal singing bowls, chimes,  gong and additional instruments — think candlelight, cozy setups when available, and a long exhale you can feel in your bones.

I teach a range of yoga—from gentle slow flow to playful vinyasa and power flow—and I’m big on curated playlists. Music is the mood-setter; every class gets its own soundtrack so the energy lands just right.

My love for sound started at home. My family is musical; my dad custom builds guitars and even crafted a few of my instruments—so I grew up surrounded by wood shavings, strings, and good music! I was the kid making mix tapes and playlists for everything, and that never stopped.

Years into my yoga practice, I went to my first sound bath and it changed me. I “dropped in” deeper than I ever had in seated or guided meditation... it felt like another world opened. From there, I began weaving guided meditation and sound into my own classes, then into community events and small groups.

Now, whether it’s a full studio or a cozy circle, my focus is the same: help your nervous system settle, help you feel clear and grounded, and send you home a little lighter—with a soundtrack to match.
