Babette Godefroy
About Me
I'm a certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), Yoga Alliance registered advanced trained yoga teacher (E-RYT 500) and sound meditation guide. I'm also a NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine) certified personal trainer.
​
I experience yoga asana as an opportunity to have a truly intimate conversation with oneself - learning patience, dedication, non-judgement, detachment and acceptance each time we meet ourselves on the mat. I have an enormous passion for flowing through intelligent yet playful yoga sequences, challenging and invigorating both body and mind. I offer enlivening (vinyasa) classes that emphasize fluid movement, mobility, and traditional Namaskar variations, bringing about a modern twist to an ancient practice.
I also offer restorative yoga, somatic slow flow yoga, yin yoga and trigger-point fascia release. Our experiences are embodied in our fascia (connective tissue), and in these practices we allow our own bodily intelligence to slowly untangle and dislodge physical, mental, and emotional tension from our tissues.
I'm committed to creating a practice during which you can challenge yourself, yet allowing space for you to meet your body and mind where serves you best.
​
I have studied with some of the greatest masters and pioneers in sound therapy and sound healing; I have spent hundreds of hours offering sound experiences; and I am Program Lead for Sonic Meditation, a signature sound mediation class at Equinox. The effects of my sound healing experiences are both immediate and accumulative, offering a profound yet accessible entry point to nervous system support and energetic balance,

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions - I'm here to support you.

Sound Healing
Experience the Deeply Restorative Power of Sound
Through the sacred sounds of crystal alchemy singing bowls, chimes, gongs and other healing instruments, I offer immersive sound experiences designed to ease tension, and invite profound rest into the body and mind. Using the restorative power of sound frequency and vibration, these sessions create a therapeutic field that gently guides the body out of fight-or-flight and into rest and recovery, the parasympathetic state - where true healing can begin.
Sound frequencies interact with our physiology on a cellular level, helping to regulate the nervous system, balance brain waves, and shift stagnant energy. As the body begins to relax through this vibrational support, the mind and emotional body naturally soften, creating space for clarity, release, and renewal.
My offerings include:
• Sound Baths: Relaxing, restorative, and immersive.
• Sound Healing + Guided Meditation: Yoga Nidra, visualization, interoceptive awareness, and conscious relaxation to deepen the impact of sound.
• Sound Healing + Somatic Breathwork: A powerful combination that bridges the body and mind through intentional breath and sound vibration.
I offer sound healing experiences like these in intimate public group classes, private sessions, wellness retreats, corporate and special events primarily in the New York region but I am available to travel upon request.
