Bali: Chakras sound sanctuary | Sound healing ADDA YOGA

Sunday sound healing at ADDA YOGA Canggu turns a normal Bali afternoon into a focused chakra session, using singing bowls and energy work on an open rooftop. I really like that the session targets the full chakra map, not just one general relaxation vibe.

I also like that the practitioner, Made (Instagram @madesemaraputraa), blends chakra work with Reiki energy healing in a small group, limited to 10 people. One thing to keep in mind: it is on a rooftop, so you may hear background sounds like bikes, animals, and people.

Key Things I’d Book This For

• A chakra-by-chakra sound session that covers Root to Crown
• Made’s Reiki energy healing paired with singing bowls and other sacred instruments
• Small group size (10 max), so the vibe stays personal
• Rooftop setting with natural ventilation, but expect some ambient noise
• Good included value: water, towel, and all the gears are provided

Sunday Sound Sanctuary at ADDA YOGA Canggu

This is a weekly reset you can actually fit into a Bali rhythm. Every Sunday, ADDA YOGA Canggu runs a 75-minute sound healing session called Chakra Sound Sanctuary. It starts at 14:00 and runs until 15:15, timed well for locals and tourists who want something restorative in the afternoon.

What makes it interesting is the combination of sound and energy work. You are not just listening to bowls, you are guided to connect with your chakra system, with the session designed to support relaxation and balance.

Pricing is also refreshingly straightforward: $19 per person. For that, you get a full guided session, Reiki energy healing, and practical extras like water, towel, and all the gear.

Meet Made, the Sound Healer Driving the Session

The session is led by a sound healer named Made (Made Semaraputraa). You can find him on Instagram at @madesemaraputraa, which is useful if you like to check the vibe of the practitioner before you go.

The session is guided in English, so you should be able to follow the instructions and chakra focus without having to guess. And because the group is limited to 10 participants, it generally stays calm. In a class where you are doing breath and body relaxation, smaller groups help you actually feel present.

How the 75 Minutes Work, Chakra by Chakra

You’ll be in a guided sound healing flow designed to align your chakras and restore balance in your mind, body, and spirit. The session uses singing bowls, plus energy work and other sacred instruments (as described by the studio). The overall goal is to help release tension, support emotional balance, and promote deep relaxation.

You can also think of this as a body-attention workout, but without effort. Instead of “doing” yoga poses for an hour, you let sound vibrations and guided focus do the heavy lifting.

Here’s what the session targets, based on the chakra plan they share:

• 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

If you’re new to chakra work, don’t overthink it. You do not need a perfect spiritual vocabulary. Your job is simple: relax, listen, and notice what feels blocked, tight, or heavy, then soften around it as the session guides your attention.

Rooftop Reality Check: Comfort, Mats, and Noise

The meeting point is on the roof top, above the AWAN connection working space. You follow the signs for AAWAN connection, or ask staff where the ADDA YOGA studio is.

This rooftop location is part of the charm and part of the tradeoff. One review noted the space is open rooftop, with background noises from bikes, animals, and people. Another mentioned it would be better indoors if you prefer full quiet, but still liked the ventilation.

So here’s my practical advice: go in with the right expectations. If you need absolute silence to relax, you might find it harder. If you’re okay with ambient Bali sound, you’ll probably enjoy the outdoor airflow and the calm of a guided group.

What to wear matters more than you’d think. Wear comfortable clothes you can sit or lie down in. If you have a personal mat, bring it. The studio says mats are limited at the venue, and you are more likely to get comfortable if you use your own.

Also, the session provides water, a towel, and all the gears. That means less packing and less last-minute searching.

What You Actually Experience During Sound Healing

The heart of the experience is the sound. Singing bowls and other instruments create vibrations that you can feel in your body, especially if you lie down or sit comfortably with your focus softened.

At the same time, the session includes chakra balancing and Reiki energy healing. That pairing is important: the sound gives you a physical anchor, while the energy work gives you a mental and emotional structure to rest into. If you’ve ever left a class feeling like your thoughts finally slowed down, this is in the same zone, but with a different toolset.

The studio also lists benefits such as reduced stress and anxiety, improved sleep quality, enhanced emotional balance, spiritual awakening, and a boosted immune system. Take these as the intended outcomes of the practice, not medical promises. But it makes sense that a guided, low-stimulation experience could help you feel calmer and more regulated.

My “value of doing this” lens: even if you don’t chase the spiritual angle, the session is still a low-effort way to reset your nervous system. Seventy-five minutes is long enough to feel a shift, short enough that it does not swallow your day.

Group Vibe: Relaxation Without Feeling Lost

This is a small group session, limited to 10 participants. That matters because sound healing works best when people aren’t constantly distracted by logistics or social pressure.

You will likely spend most of the time in a receptive state, listening to the bowls and following the healer’s guidance. The studio frames it as community connection, which in practice usually means you feel supported by a shared intention, not that you have to talk to anyone.

Because the session is in English, you should also feel oriented. Clear instructions make it easier to let go, especially if you are the type who worries you’re “doing it wrong.”

If you are the introvert in your travel crew, this can be a good fit. It’s social in the sense that you’re sharing space, but quiet in how it functions.

Price and Value: Why $19 for 75 Minutes Can Make Sense

Let’s talk value in a practical way. You are paying for:

• A 75-minute sound healing session
• Reiki energy healing
• Chakra balancing
• Experienced sound healers
• Water, towel, and all gear
• A small group structure

At $19 per person, this is positioned as accessible wellness. In Bali, you can spend way more on studios, private sessions, and “special experiences” that are really just a one-size-fits-all class. Here, you get a structured session name, a defined duration, and a specific focus on chakras and sound.

The main cost is your time, 75 minutes on a Sunday at 14:00. You also need to handle transportation to and from the venue, since that is not included. But once you’re there, the studio supplies what you need for comfort.

Who This Is For, and Who Might Skip It

This works best if you want:

• A guided relaxation break during your Bali stay
• Chakra-focused wellness that is more structured than a generic spa hour
• A small-group experience where you can actually settle
• A sound-based session that pairs with Reiki energy healing

It might be less ideal if:

• You want a fully indoor, soundproof environment
• You are very sensitive to background noise
• You strongly prefer silent meditation over guided sensory relaxation

If you’re coming from a busy sightseeing day, this can feel like a reset. If you’re traveling with someone who is skeptical about wellness stuff, it can still work, because sound and relaxation are easy to understand even if you don’t care about chakra theory.

Booking Smart: Timing and What to Do Before You Go

Go with the expectation that you should arrive early. The studio asks you to show up 15 minutes before check-in. That gives you time to find the rooftop studio, settle onto your spot, and get comfortable before the bowls start.

Wear comfortable clothing suitable for sitting or lying down. If you can, bring your own yoga mat because mats at the venue are limited.

Online booking is strongly recommended, and spaces are limited. If you’re planning your Bali schedule tightly, booking ahead keeps you from losing the chance if the Sunday session is full.

If you need flexibility, the experience offers free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund, and there is also a reserve now and pay later option, meaning you can book without paying today.

Should You Book This Sunday Sound Sanctuary at ADDA YOGA?

Yes, if you want an affordable, guided 75-minute reset that combines singing bowls, chakra focus, and Reiki energy healing in a small group. It’s also a good “Bali rhythm” activity because it’s weekly, predictable, and scheduled for a relaxing afternoon.

I’d especially book it if you’re craving calm but don’t want to do heavy effort. Sound healing is often easier than it looks, and with a structured chakra plan, you can relax without wondering what you should be doing.

I’d hesitate only if rooftop noise will bother you a lot. If quiet is your top priority, plan for ambient sounds, bring your patience, and focus on your own body sensations instead.
