Our sound experiences

From the group sound bath to the bowl massage, every format aims at the same thing: settling the nervous system. All that's left is choosing the shape that suits you.

The Résonance experiences in brief

Résonance offers seven ways to receive sound, all at 26 rue de Bassano, in the 16th. The best known is the gong bath in Paris: a group session of about an hour, lying down, from €39. Alongside it sit the sound massage with Tibetan bowls (€95), the private session one to one (from €95), the duo session (€135) and private hire of the studio for a group (from €350). All of them start from the same principle: nothing is asked of you but to be there.

How it runs

What actually happens in a session?

The shape varies little from one format to the next. You're welcomed quietly, settled on the floor or on a table depending on the session, and after a short settling-in the sound takes over. There's no posture to hold and no breathing to follow, and dropping the effort is exactly what makes it work. Coming back is gentle, with time to sit up before you meet the street again.

The only real question is what setting you're after. Want to disappear into a group and switch off for an hour? The group sound bath is built for that. Need something more contained, or more physical? Look towards the Tibetan bowl massage or the one-to-one session. To understand what's happening physiologically, the sound therapy in Paris page goes into the detail.

The neighbourhood

A studio in the 16th, between Trocadéro and the Champs-Élysées

The studio sits at 26 rue de Bassano, on the border of the 16th and the 8th, between place Victor Hugo, Trocadéro and the Champs-Élysées. This is a neighbourhood of full calendars: head offices, private practices, fashion houses, a lot of people working in English all day. Dropping an hour of silence into the middle of that is a faintly radical act. For plenty of people it's the only stretch of the week without a screen or a meeting in it.

You get here on metro George V (line 1), Iéna or Alma-Marceau (line 9), or on the RER A to Charles-de-Gaulle–Étoile. Access details are on the studio page, and any question is quickly settled through the contact page.

Frequently asked questions about our experiences

Which experience should I choose for a first time?
To get a feel for it, the group gong bath is still the simplest way in: you lie down in a small group, you listen, and that's it. No technique to learn, from €39. If you'd rather have a setting to yourself, the private session lets the session follow your own pace.
What's the difference between a gong bath and a sound massage?
A gong bath is a group sound immersion: you stay lying down at a distance from the instruments and you listen. The sound massage is one to one, with Tibetan bowls placed on and around the body, and it's the vibration through contact that does the work. One happens in a group, the other face to face.
Can we come as a pair?
Yes. The duo session (€135) takes everything about a sound bath into a private room, for two people. And for a larger group (a birthday, a hen do, a team), private hire of the studio takes up to 8 people.
How much does a session at Résonance cost?
The group sound bath starts at €39. The sound massage and the private session are €95, the duo session €135, and private hire from €350. Everything is set out, passes and membership included, on the pricing page.
Do I need any previous experience?
No, none at all. Most people who come through the door have never done a sound bath. There's nothing you need to be able to do: you lie down, you listen, the rest follows. Everything (mats, blankets, cushions, eye masks) is provided.
Where do the sessions take place?
Every session happens at the studio, 26 rue de Bassano, in the 16th arrondissement, a short walk from Trocadéro and the Champs-Élysées. For access, opening hours and the feel of the place, see the studio page.

Honestly, the format matters less than people think. What matters is giving yourself the hour: the sound knows what to do with it. Pick the one that draws you and come and see.
