Frequently Asked Questions
A sound bath is a deeply relaxing experience where you lie back and are “bathed” in calming sounds and vibrations. Using instruments such as crystal singing bowls, gongs and chimes, the sounds help quiet the mind, relax the body and bring you into a meditative state, no experience required. Many people leave feeling calmer, lighter and more rested.
An Aqua Sculpt Floating Sound Bath is a sound bath experienced while floating on the water, allowing the combination of sound and gentle movement to support deep relaxation and nervous-system reset.
Experiencing a sound bath on water adds an extra layer of relaxation. Floating naturally reduces pressure on the body, helping muscles soften and the nervous system settle more quickly. The gentle movement of the water encourages slower breathing, while sound vibrations travel more easily across the surface of the water, creating a fuller, more immersive experience.
Many guests describe a floating sound bath as feeling deeper, more grounding and more calming than a traditional sound bath on land with reports of increased sleep quality and mental clarity.

Floating Pilates is performed on specially designed inflatable boards, which are used as a floating exercise platform on calm water. It's completely safe with our certified Aqua Sculpt Instructors, safety briefings, and all necessary equipment provided. The water adds an element of instability that engages your core muscles more than traditional pilates.
Absolutely not. We anchor the board close to the shore using weights. It still creates the instability to challenge the core and switch on the stabilising muscles but it means your board will not drift away and your board will remain around 5 meters from shore at all times.
While swimming ability is preferred, it's not mandatory. We operate in water depth where participants can safely stand, approximately 1m depth. For participants lacking water confidence, we provide a Restube belt. A Restube is a compact pouch that attaches round your waist like a belt. In the event of an emergency you can pull the trigger to instantly inflate a buoyancy tube that will keep you afloat. Our certified instructors are also trained in water safety and monitor all participants closely throughout the session. If you lack water confidence, please notify our team prior to your session.
Participants can wear supportive swimwear or comfortable activewear that can get wet. We recommend bringing a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses and a change of clothes. All equipment including your Aqua Sculpt floating board is provided.
Yes you will get wet setting up your board in the water but the water is shallow and will not exceed your waist level.
We have not had anyone fall off the boards during the classical mat pilates exercises but where it can be wobbly in the during the balance challenges. Some people do fall off the boards during the balance challenges but we cannot predict who or how many people will fall. Somethings no one falls in and other times 50% fall in. It will come down to your balance, the water conditions on the day and where you get tempted to look at your friends or other people. If you do fall it, it's shallow and you can touch the ground and you simply just pop back on your board.
Absolutely. Our sessions are designed not only for beginners to float fitness but also beginners in Pilates. Our trained instructors will offer beginner, intermediate and advanced options for all levels. And if something doesn't feel right, just lie back on your board and enjoy the sun!
For our public sessions we have been 6-10 people. We keep them intimate we can our focus on each individual as everyone comes at different fitness levels and we want to ensure everyone feels comfortable.
For private sessions, we can accommodate up to 20 people.
