Elevate Yoga & Wellness
Best known for aerial yoga, this Roosevelt Row-adjacent studio also runs a monthly "Floating Sound Bath" where you're suspended in an aerial silk hammock — cocooned a few feet off the ground — while crystal bowls and chimes wash over you, an option that costs $10 more than lying on the floor.
The story
Most sound baths ask you to sprawl out on a mat on a cold studio floor while someone rings metal bowls around you. Elevate Yoga & Wellness—tucked into a quiet corner on 3rd Avenue near Roosevelt Row—takes the floor out of the equation entirely. For ten bucks more than the standard floor spot, you climb into a suspended aerial silk hammock, wrapping yourself up like a cocoon suspended a few feet above the floor.
Once you're tucked inside the fabric, you float weightless while the instructor plays crystal bowls, chimes, and gongs during the studio's monthly Floating Sound Bath. The sensory twist is the micro-vibration: as acoustic waves reverberate through the room, your hammock subtly sways and hums in sync with the instruments, tricking your inner ear into feeling like you're adrift inside the sound itself.
What it's like
Arrive a few minutes early to climb into your hammock and settle in at their 1001 N 3rd Avenue space. Leave zip-up jackets, rings, and sharp jewelry in your bag—the silk fabric snags easily on hardware. If you bring a date, reserve two hammocks side by side and see who succumbs to the gong finale first, but always confirm class times online before heading out.
The move: Reserve two aerial hammock spots for the monthly floating sound bath, get cocooned side by side mid-air, and see who falls asleep first during the gong finale.
