Healing Singing Bowl, by Yogini Arts

Ancient craft, Sacred sound. Handcrafted in Kathmandu.

Yogini Arts has worked in Kathmandu's Thamel quarter since 2016, casting and hand-hammering singing bowls, gongs and tingsha using traditional techniques. Every piece is shaped, ground and tuned by ear before it ever reaches a shelf — no two bowls, and no two notes, are quite the same.

We exist to keep a Himalayan craft alive on its own terms — genuine instruments, made the slow way, so every piece that reaches you carries a real tone and a real hand behind it.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

See all questions

What a bowl is, how to choose one, and what happens after you order. If yours is not here, just ask us.

What is a singing bowl?

A standing bell that rings when struck, or sings continuously when a mallet is circled steadily around its rim. Made in the Himalaya for generations, and used for meditation, sound healing, yoga and ritual.

How do I play a singing bowl?

There are two ways to play a singing bowl. To strike it, tap the outside gently with the padded end of the mallet for a clear bell tone. To make it sing, hold the mallet like a pen, press it firmly against the outer rim, and circle slowly and steadily until a continuous tone builds.

Why won't my singing bowl sing?

If your singing bowl won't sing, the cause is almost always technique, not the bowl. Slow down, press the mallet more firmly, and keep even contact with the rim. Strike the bowl once first to start it resonating, then begin circling. A rattling or buzzing sound usually means you're moving too fast.

Do I need a singing bowl set as a beginners?

No. One good singing bowl is enough for beginners and for personal meditation practice. Singing bowl sets tuned to different notes are mainly for sound healers and practitioners who run layered sound baths.
