Top 3 — Best Sound Bath · The only individual to place among established yoga studios
Tired of carrying the weight of the world — and not sure how much longer you can hold it? Does your chest tighten just opening the news? Have you white-knuckled your way through another week, feeling disconnected from your own body, your own joy, your own sense of peace?
Soul Sync is where you come to meet all of it differently. A place where no one argues, sells, or tells you what to think. Just breath, music, vibration, and the gentle reminder that you are not alone.
"I've been to sound baths before, but never anything like what you do."

Doug and René Knaphus bring decades of lived practice — music, meditation, philosophy, and healing — into every session. What they create together is something genuinely rare: two people in complete sync, offering an experience that leaves you lighter, softer, and more yourself.
Meet Doug & René →Each offering is crafted with intention — whether you come for the deep immersion of a Sound Bath, the weekly reset of a meditation class, or the serene suspension of a Silk Hammock session.

Explore Candles →Each person is settled into a silk hammock, offered a fuzzy blanket and eye mask. Before the journey begins, Doug checks in personally with every participant — even offering a gentle rocking push, accommodating each person's preference with individual care.
Then the nature sounds rise, the lights shift, and the music begins. Crystal bowls. Flute. Gong. Voice. A dozen flutes brought to each session — Doug plays whichever ones call to him that day.

Married 19 years. In sync — musically, spiritually, and in everything they bring to Soul Sync.
A lifelong musician with over 40 years of experience across woodwind instruments, Doug has maintained a daily meditation practice since his teens. His sound baths are distinguished by a musician's ear — moving not just through frequencies, but through chord tones, melody, harmony, and even dissonance to create a deeply moving musical journey.
With a background in the sciences and 20+ years as a program manager and educator at Salt Lake Community College, Doug brings both analytical depth and genuine heart to his teaching. He holds an RYT 200 certification and teaches yoga philosophy, Sanskrit terminology, and meditation as an adjunct professor in SLCC's Yoga Teacher Training program.
René's path to wellness was forged through real life — grief, corporate burnout, and a profound personal transformation. Her mindfulness practice began at 25 as a survival tool, and after a 40-year corporate career, she now devotes herself fully to helping others find their own way home to themselves.
Her signature affirmation guides everything she does: "You are a point of light. You are perfect and the world needs you just as you are." René's guided meditations are renowned for their warmth, depth, and the extraordinary care she puts into every word and note of accompanying music.
