Once the sound spa therapy is considered a healing ritual reserved for yoga retreats and spiritual workshops, it quietly enters corporate India. Companies across sectors, from IT to design, are now planning a sound bath sitting as structured interventions in their wellness programs.
In cities such as Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Delhi, Chennai and Mumbai, the department of human resources are entered by facilitators to perform sound therapeutic sessions for executives and their teams. The only 45 -minute group session, which was often held in the office or partner wellness studio, is awarded anywhere between 25,000 and 45,000 GBP. The costs differ depending on the size of the group, the tools used and the required level of personalization.
When talking around emotional well -being, he gains more space in the workplace, the therapy of the sound bath is looking for stronger support. He is now planned, assigned budgets and joined the corporate calendars with intent.
“We also have our own wellness accessories for companies that want a deeper experience,” says Juhi Reddy, co -founder of the healing frequency in Hyderabad. “Some decide to make a monthly sound of medicinal sitting, while others apply for pre -recorded guided meditations along with their internal initiatives,” he adds. These are usually used during short work breaks or circulate through internal applications within the strategy of the company’s mental health.
In the setting of sound bath therapy, the Himalayan singing bowls, gongs, bamboo rain sticks, ocean drums, tuning forks and kalimbas (African musical instrument) use the Himalayan singing bowls, gongs (African musical instrument) to lead the participants to a deeply relaxed state. Participants are usually sitting or lying on mats, eyes closed because the sound layers above them. The performance is preceded by a short briefing and often follows informal reflection or in some companies structured exercises for team building.
Ashwin Rao, HR head in a medium -sized technology company in Bengalur, says that their first experience with the sound bath “reduced the room temperature, figuratively,”. He adds: “Our teams spend a lot of time in front of the screen and drive tight dates. Maybe it was the first time we offered them a quiet room, not to think or solve the problem, but just to be. And appreciated it.”
While stress in the workplace is the primary reason why companies are looking for these sessions, psychologists and healthcare workers point to other emotional and cognitive benefits.
“The sound can gently lead the mind to clarity, especially when one is amazed,” says psychologist Anita Rao. “Small setting paired with harmonious vibrations can help individuals to process emotions such as anger or regret. These feelings often appear, but are quickly suppressed in a high -pressure work environment. It is not a problem solving, it is to organize the mind for organization.”
Dr. Sandeep Jyot, a diabetologist who manages the Institute of Sound Healing in Chandigarh, says the demand has been increasing in the last three years. “We have more than 500 sound therapy practices in India. Many of them work with Fortune 500,” he says. His own work extends across Mumbai and Delhi-NCR region.
In Chennai, the therapist Veen Singh adapted the format to suit the culture of the meeting room. Its session is the introduction to the science of vibrating therapy and emotional de-schooling, followed by a sound bath that is quiet but intentional. “It is important that the session has purpose. The participants must leave not only with peace, but also to understand what has changed in their body,” he says.

Interestingly, sound therapy now exceeds corporate floors. At many birthday celebrations and demonstration gatherings, the deep resonance of the Himalayan bowls replaces, at least temporarily temporarily. “Weddings and great events come with emotional weight,” Juhi says. “Some clients are asking for a bride’s or groom and their close friends at night before the ceremony. It helps everyone to arrive at the moment without chaos.”
One such meeting led by Juhi turned unexpectedly. “It started like a relaxing ritual. But in the middle of the road, people began to cry, laugh, embraced. The sound became a space in which they could release emotions they didn’t know they were carrying,” he recalls.

In Visakhapatnam, the wellness practicing Purna Kralleti is preparing to organize the first sound bathroom in his wellness studio Phoenix Soul-Inces. “I came across sound therapy during locking,” he says. “What hit me was the way the sound slowed me in a way that felt deeply natural. It didn’t ask for effort, it just worked.”
Dr. Suman Das, a radiation oncologist based in Visakhapatnam, warns the consider of sound therapy as treatment. However, it recognizes its value, especially in emotionally high stress contexts. “In palliative care, patients and carers face prolonged psychological fatigue. Sound therapy is one of the few supportive interventions that create a non -verbal, non -invasive environment contributing to emotional processing. Smallness requires silence.
