Debbie Robinson: The Yoga Junkie – Sound baths – vibrations for wellness

In this podcast Professor Joyce Harper will be interviewing guests to discuss all things health related and debunking some of the many myths around our health.

Debbie Robinson is a spiritual coach, certified grief recovery specialist, teacher of multiple Yoga lineages, menopause coach and much more.

She is a certified in many types of yoga and is accredited by the Yoga Alliance, with over 25 years’ yoga experience. Debbie is also trained in Mental Health, and Occupational Safety and Health.

Debbie was born into an environment marked by dysfunction and has navigated a world without safety or guidance. From this experience she brings together the transformative power of movement, mindfulness, spirituality, and healing into a cohesive experience that truly supports people in their journey. She has created something that is both essential and expansive, a sanctuary for those seeking not just physical wellness but a deeper connection to themselves. She runs 1:1 sessions, workshops and retreats and offers eco-conscious yoga accessories and a range of sustainable clothing, embodying her commitment to the environment.

After meeting Debbie at the Big Retreat Festival and experiencing her incredible 90-minute sound bath, I knew I had to invite her onto the podcast. Many people still don’t know what a sound bath is or why they might want to attend one — so in this episode, Debbie walks us through the whole experience.

She explains what a sound bath actually is, the instruments she uses, and how these sounds can affect both the body and the mind. She also describes what to expect from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. For many, it can be a deeply calming and even transformative experience — I personally feel completely relaxed and reset after one. I especially love floating sound baths, which we also talk about. In Debbie’s studio in Wales, participants are suspended in hammocks for a truly unique experience.

We also explore what yoga means to Debbie, and how she supports people navigating menopause and grief through her practice.

If you’ve never tried a sound bath before, I hope this episode inspires you to give it a go. I’d love to hear what you think.
