Alys Pardoe teaches Ashtanga and vinyasa in Margaret River, with breathwork and sound sessions run separately. Ashtanga follows a set sequence every time, which is the reason people either seek it out or leave it alone — worth knowing before a first class.
Mandy runs private and small-group sessions from Quindalup and travels to houses around Dunsborough, Yallingup and Eagle Bay. Hatha and restorative yoga, sound relaxation and Bowen therapy are booked individually rather than from a public timetable, which suits a group down for a weekend.
Kundalini classes from a room in Yallingup, with meditation, sound and breathwork on the same timetable, plus occasional retreats. Kundalini is a different shape of class from a flow — more breath and repetition, less sequence — and the studio says so rather than leaving you to find out.
Marisa Budd is a Reiki Master in Margaret River, and Reiki is the heart of Shalom Healing: traditional Reiki, Reiki with intuitive healing, and Reiki classes for people who want to learn it themselves. Marisa is also a counsellor, and runs group sound healing sessions at different times through the year. There is no shopfront; appointments are arranged directly.
Oria Haven lists 4 wellness practices under Sound & float in Margaret River, across 3 suburbs. One offers online or hybrid sessions.
Every listing is hand-checked by Oria Haven. Figures updated 8 October 2026.
Most relevant means practices that specialise in this first, then the ones with the most reviews to go on. A listing that publishes its price, describes itself and names its services gets a small nudge, never more than a quarter of a star, because you can decide on it without ringing. Paid placements are shown once, in their own band, and never move anyone up the list.
The guide
Both halves of this category ask the same thing of you: lie down and stay there. What differs is whether the hour is filled with sound or emptied of it.
A sound bath is a room of mats, blankets and instruments — gongs, crystal or Tibetan bowls, sometimes a handpan — played around and over you while you lie still. Sessions usually run 45 to 75 minutes, you keep your clothes on, and you can leave whenever you like. Some studios pair one with yoga nidra or a breathwork session in the same evening.
Float venues run either enclosed tanks or open pools, both filled with heavily salted water held at skin temperature so you lose track of where the water stops. An hour is standard. First-timers get a briefing, earplugs and the option of leaving the lid up or the light on — ask, because nobody will assume you want to.
Our guide covers what actually happens at a sound bath. Related: meditation classes, sleep and recovery, reiki.

About the Reel
The Reel, from Australia’s South West, introduces the floating sauna at Pemberton Pool: two wood-fired sauna rooms on the water with big windows onto the karri forest, and the ritual its caption describes — warm up, step outside into the pool, and repeat.

It captures the setting and the whole hot–cold ritual — including the dive that deserves a word of caution.

We build the directory ourselves rather than taking paid submissions, so a practice appears because it exists and serves Margaret River — not because it paid. Practices can claim their listing for nothing and keep it accurate, photos included. Paid plans add booking links, offers and visitor stats. We never take a cut of bookings, and enquiries go straight to the practice.
