Live handpan for yoga & community classes

Ambient soundscapes and interactive workshops for yoga studios, pilates classes, and community sessions. Add something genuinely different to your regular programme.

Why handpan for yoga & movement classes?

The handpan’s sustained, resonant tones complement breathwork and movement naturally. Each note holds space, creating a sonic environment that supports deeper practice without demanding attention. It’s not background music from a speaker — it’s a live instrument responding to the room’s energy, the instructor’s pace, and the collective breath of the group.

For instructors, it elevates the class experience and creates a distinctive offering that students remember and return for. Live handpan transforms a regular class into something special — a session that stands out in a crowded schedule and builds stronger community around your practice space.

How it works

Instructor-led

Joe follows the instructor's lead, matching music to the pace and energy of the class. Your class, your structure — the handpan supports your teaching without interruption.

Responsive to the room

The handpan adapts in real time — quieter during savasana, more rhythmic during flows, spacious during holds. The music reads the room and adjusts naturally.

No setup disruption

Joe arrives early and sets up quietly before students enter. The handpan is acoustic — no amps, cables, or technical requirements. Just a clean, simple addition to your space.

Class types

Yoga classes

From gentle hatha to dynamic vinyasa. The handpan complements any style, adding depth without distraction. Works equally well for restorative sessions and more energetic practices.

Pilates & movement

Focused, rhythmic tones that support concentration and body awareness during controlled movements. The handpan's steady pulse provides an anchor without overwhelming the precision work.

Community sessions

Wellbeing groups, breathwork circles, meditation evenings. The handpan creates a focal point that draws people in and holds the space for whatever practice you're leading.

What instructors say

Having live handpan in class completely changed the atmosphere. Students were deeper in their practice and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
