Is it suitable for beginners?

Absolutely. No prior experience with meditation, yoga, or sound healing is needed. Everyone is welcome.

What is a Floating Sound Bath?

A Floating Sound Bath is a unique relaxation experience where you rest comfortably on a floating platform or dock while immersed in the soothing sounds of crystal singing bowls, chimes, and other calming instruments. Surrounded by water—but without entering it—you can fully relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.

Will I be in the water?

No. Participants (typically) remain dry throughout the experience. You’ll be comfortably seated or lying on a stable floating platform, so there is no need to enter the water.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to relax. Depending on the weather, you may also want to bring a light sweater, blanket, or socks to stay cozy.

We recommend bringing: A yoga mat or padded mat (if you like extra softness below you – the floating boards are quite rigid) A blanket and two towels A small pillow or bolster for extra comfort Water Sunscreen, sunglasses, or a hat for daytime/outdoor sessions Insect repellent for evening outdoor events (if desired)

What happens if the weather changes?

Outdoor experiences may be postponed or rescheduled in the event of unsafe weather conditions. Participants will be notified as early as possible.

Is it safe during pregnancy?

If you are pregnant, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before attending. Please let us know in advance so we can help ensure your comfort.

What if I'm uncomfortable lying down?

You’re welcome to sit in a comfortable position if that’s more suitable for you. Please let us know before the session if you have accessibility or comfort needs.

What happens during the session?

After a brief welcome, you’ll settle into a comfortable position on the floating platform while the facilitator guides the sound bath using crystal singing bowls and other therapeutic instruments. You’re invited to simply relax, breathe naturally, and enjoy the experience.

Is the platform stable?

Yes. The floating platform is designed to provide a calm and stable space for relaxation. You may notice gentle movement from the water, which many participants find enhances the meditative experience.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please refer to your booking confirmation for cancellation details or contact us directly if you have questions.

How long is the session?

Sessions typically last 60 minutes, including a brief introduction and closing. Some specialty sessions may run longer. If so, this will be indicated on your confirmation email.

What if I fall asleep?

That’s perfectly okay! Many participants drift into a deeply relaxed state during a sound bath. Your body will naturally respond to the experience in the way it needs most.

Sound & Stillness

Sound baths, meditation & mindful experiences

Sound & Stillness invites you to slow down, settle in, and step away from the noise of everyday life. Through immersive sound baths, guided meditation, cacao ceremonies, and other mindful experiences, each session creates space to rest, reconnect, and simply be. With soothing sound, gentle guidance, and thoughtfully chosen settings, these experiences are designed to leave you feeling calmer, grounded, and refreshed.

Floating Sound Baths

Stay dry and cozy on a specially designed floating board that keeps you comfortably above the water, while soothing sound and gentle vibrations guide you into deep relaxation.

Float & Flow combines weightless support, guided relaxation, and immersive sound to help the body soften and the mind become quiet.

Simply settle onto your floating mat and allow the sounds of crystal bowls, drums, rainsticks, chimes, and other instruments to move gently around you as you rest, breathe, and let go.

What It Feels Like to Float

During your experience, you will rest comfortably on a floating mat with a soft blanket as you are guided into a state of calm. From there, you will be immersed in a soothing sound journey designed to help the body soften, the mind become still, and the stresses of the day gently drift away.

Unlike a traditional sound bath, floating allows your body to feel supported and almost weightless. The gentle movement of the water, combined with layers of calming sound and vibration, creates an immersive experience that can feel both grounding and ethereal.

Kind Words from our Guests

A sense of calmness, contentment and grateful wellbeing

I attended a sound bowls meditation and a sound bath with Barb and Lorna. In both instances the sounds coming from both sources were melting into one. I could not differentiate where the sound was coming from. The meditation was much deeper with the sound bowls than with a voice meditation app. On the case of my experience with the sound bath, the gentle movement of the water with the gentle breeze of the outdoors was a deeper experience leaving me with a sense of calmness, contentment and grateful wellbeing. This experience stayed with me for several days. I would strongly recommend it and am definitely looking forward to another experience of either one.

Like floating around a beach

My experience with the floating sound bath was a very relaxing experience. The crystal bowls were so soothing to listen to and the background music with birds made it even better. I experienced the feeling of floating around a beach and also the jungle. It was a completely peaceful feeling. I would definitely do this again!!

– Sandy, Aldersyde

Get ready for a good night's sleep

Being my first time I did not know what to expect. It was definitely more than I anticipated. With each new sound, the vibration would hit a wall halfway through my body, and slowly exit. At the end of the session I was completely relaxed and ready for a good nights sleep. I would absolutely take advantage of doing this again and encourage others to try it out.

– Jody, Aldersyde

Recharge and reconnect

Such an amazing experience! I left feeling relaxed, grounded, and completely refreshed. The sound bath helped quiet my mind and melt away stress. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to recharge and reconnect. I can’t wait for my next one!

– Debbie, Calgary

Incredibly peaceful

Such a relaxing and unique experience! Floating in the warm water while listening to the sound bowls was incredibly peaceful. I left feeling calm, refreshed, and completely recharged. Highly recommend!

– Shannon, Calgary

Healing, cleansing experience

Barb and Lorna: I would like to extend my gratitude to u two. Recently I was in a meditation class with u both. The soothing sound of the crystal singing bowls opened my mind and heart to an awakening. When Lorna gave me the spirit cards and my card was “fathers love” which gutted me emotionally. My father passed 8 years ago and has left a huge hole in my heart. The experience I had during ur class made me feel so close to my dad. My third eye was wide open! Then the pool meditation, floating and relaxing to the sounds of nature all around, and the crystal singing bowls. Healing, cleansing experience. Thank u so much for ur patience and kindness.

Lazy Day Raft Rentals

Wait...isn't Lazy Day a rafting company?

Since 2007, Lazy Day has been helping people slow down, reconnect, and create lasting memories on Calgary’s Bow River. What began as a simple idea—making it easier for people to enjoy a beautiful day on the water—has grown into one of Calgary’s most recognized outdoor experiences.

Over the years, we have welcomed families celebrating milestones, friends reconnecting, visitors discovering Calgary for the first time, and locals seeing their city from an entirely new perspective. Our greatest measure of success has never been the number of rafts we rent or the awards we receive. It is the smiles at the end of the journey, the stories people share, and the knowledge that we helped create a moment they will remember for years to come.

That sense of connection has always been at the heart of Lazy Day. A float down the river offers something increasingly rare: time to pause, breathe, laugh, and be fully present with the people around you. We have seen how powerful those moments can be, and they have inspired us to imagine new ways of helping people step away from the pace and pressure of everyday life.

For years, it has been our passion to expand into wellness experiences that carry forward the same care, creativity, and commitment that built Lazy Day. Experiences designed not simply to entertain, but to restore, inspire, and leave a meaningful impact.

Lazy Day Wellness is the next chapter in that journey. Through immersive experiences such as floating sound baths, guided relaxation, and thoughtfully designed moments of connection, we are creating spaces where people can slow down, release stress, and reconnect with themselves.

The setting may be different, but our purpose remains the same: to create unforgettable experiences that bring people joy, deepen connection, and become part of the memories they carry with them long after the day is over.
