About This Retreat
Body Sound Massage Retreat in Rishikesh – Relaxation You Can Feel
A body sound massage in Rishikesh is unlike any massage you have had before. Instead of hands pressing into the muscles, warm-toned Tibetan singing bowls are placed on your back, chest, legs and feet and gently struck. You do not only hear the sound – you feel it moving through the body.
Many guests describe it as a deep, quiet massage from the inside. It is especially welcome for people who carry tension in the shoulders, back and hips, or who find deep-pressure massage too intense. Each session ends with silent rest and gentle restorative Hatha yoga to help the body integrate.
Every singing bowl massage is given by founder Gaurav Mishra in a calm treatment space on Virbhadra Marg, close to the Ganga. You stay fully clothed, and each session is adapted to your comfort and any health conditions you share.
How It Works
How Body Sound Massage Works
Vibration you can feel
In a body sound massage, singing bowls rest directly on the body or just above it. When a bowl is struck, its vibration travels into the area beneath it, while the sound fills the room. The combination of gentle vibration, warm tone and slow breathing invites the muscles and the mind to let go together.
This is a complementary wellness practice and does not replace medical treatment.
- Release of everyday muscular tension
- Softer, less stiff joints and back
- Deep rest for the nervous system
- Easier, deeper sleep for many guests
- Better awareness of where you hold stress
- Calm relaxation without deep pressure

Your Guide
Guardian of Ancient Sound Sadhana
Master Healer & Guide
ॐ योगः कर्मसु कौशलम्
“Yoga is skill and mindfulness in action” — Bhagavad Gita (2.50)
“Sound is the sacred bridge to inner stillness.”
Welcome to Umang Yoga & Sound Healing Centre. I founded this sanctuary in Rishikesh with one unwavering purpose: to preserve authentic Tibetan singing bowl therapy and traditional yogic sadhana, away from rushed, commercial factory-style courses.
Having spent over a decade immersed in Himalayan ashrams studying under traditional masters, I witnessed firsthand the profound healing that happens when pure vibrational frequency touches the human nervous system. At Umang, every retreat and TTC is guided in intimate, small batches so you receive genuine personal mentorship, emotional release, and spiritual clarity.
When authentic Tibetan sound vibration touches the body, the restless mind effortlessly drops into stillness and true healing begins.
