Shreyas Retreat - Bangalore

 

Information about Shreyas Retreat

Recognized as one of the finest Yoga retreats in the world, Shreyas is dedicated to promoting the authentic spiritual tradition of Yoga, in an environment normally associated with an exclusive star hotel. We endeavour to embody the spiritual tradition of Athithi devo Bhava (serving the Guest as an embodiment of the Divine) and the staff at Shreyas are trying to practice all facets of Yoga in their daily lives. At Shreyas, you get a unique insight into Yoga, irrespective of whether you are a beginner or have practiced for many years.

Shreyas is situated in Bangalore, India where the emphasis is to live an ashram style life (daily yoga, meditation sessions, chanting classes, organic vegetarian food, a no-alcohol policy, community service, farming etc.) in private, serene and "simply" luxurious accommodation and facilities. In a typical Yoga Retreat, guests practice different facets of Yoga - for physical strength, balance and flexibility, for physiological & therapeutic benefits and if they are interested, for pursuing a spiritual path through various types of meditation.

You can also interact with the village community, participate in local activities and get an insight into their lives. A popular Voluntourism exercise is for guests to farm in our organic agricultural garden, join our chefs to help cook and then serve the food to village school children. You will be amazed how much you will learn from them.

 

Accommodation at Shreyas Retreat

Shreyas is very inspired by the Indian spiritual practice of looking deep within the Self for answers to questions of existence and being. We are dedicated to helping our guests achieve a perfect balance in body, mind and spirit, through the medium of Yoga, which is non denominational and open to people of all faiths. We demonstrate through our various customised packages and retreats that contrary to popular belief - Yoga can be practiced by everyone. Yoga has an amazing effect on our body and mind energies allowing us to deal with life's bouquets and brickbats with sense of equanimity. We appeal to those who wish to understand/familiarise themselves with the philosophical tradition of India, without necessarily delving into its organised religious aspects.

Rooms: Shreyas has 14 exclusive rooms that can accommodate a maximum of 25 guests on a sharing basis.

Cottages: 3 en-suite Poolside cottages The Poolside cottages with en-suite bathrooms overlook the signature Antique-Pillared entrance, Infinity Pool & Jacuzzi and the central courtyard of the retreat

One 3-bedroom Garden cottage (each room with it's own en-suite bathroom) and a large living room is designed for a group of friends who wish to share the experience in close proximity of each other.

Tens: 8 elegantly designed rooms with tented canopies are set amidst the trees and flowering shrubs. Each cottage accommodates two people, has an en suite bathroom that open onto a private walled courtyard and a shady verandah with outdoor seating. The ‘tented’ Garden Cottages, spaciously scattered across the property are surrounded by lush vistas of greenery. In the lap of nature, you may sight a visit from a friendly squirrel or frog in your open-air bathroom.

Rooms Amenities: All rooms and tents are air conditioned, have ISD/STD lines as well as complimentary Broadband Internet connections.

Ayurveda & Yoga at Shreyas Retreat

The Rejuvenation Spa & Massage Centre
The comfort, warmth and reassurance of touch at spas can improve the body’s well being by stimulating its own natural healing abilities, giving a sense of well being and restoring both the physical and psychological self.
Massages at the spa at one of India's the best known yoga boutique retreats, offer the ideal solution to these damaging effects of accumulated stress and aids in harmonizing a troubled body and mind. Touch is a simple means of communication, comfort and something that we all do quite naturally. With a little willingness and commitment this ‘natural’ talent can be turned into a creative skill. Regular massage strengthens and tones the entire body system. It can stimulate or alternately calm the nervous system, help ease tension, stiffness and pain leaving the recipient with an enhanced sense of well being.

Yoga restores balance into our lives, resolves our inner conflicts, enables total excellence and allows us to fulfill our potential to become complete human beings. Often misunderstood to be simply a set of physical exercises, Yoga philosophy transcends all ritualistic religion and can be practiced by anyone.

In the Indian tradition of Yoga, life is a journey of experiences that leads us to discover Shreyas ("all round excellence") inherent within us. As such, Yoga at Shreyas is much more than the traditional physical postures and our aim is provide numerous self discovery packages and retreats that aim to catalyze your thinking/living philosophy and harmonize it with the timeless wisdom enshrined within the Indian philosophical tradition.
