Shreyas a quiet 25 acre retreat on the outskirts of Bangalore.
Shreyas is a superbly comfortable and stylish retreat on a par with some of the more exclusive small retreats in the world. Shreyas prides itself on its service which is an attempt to apply the eternal Vedic instruction – Athiti Devo Bhava – or ‘treat thy guest as an embodiment of the Divine’.
The essence of Shreyas is the concept of wellness of body, mind and soul, for the purpose of self-mastery that manifests as excellence in all that we do. The principal medium through which guests are exposed to this is Yoga - which is non-denominational and open to people of all faiths. They demonstrate through various customised programs that, contrary to popular belief, Yoga can be practiced by everyone – fit or unfit, old or young, supple or brittle. Yoga has an amazing effect on the body and mind energies allowing one to deal with life's ups and downs with sense of equanimity.
Shreyas will appeal to those who wish to understand/familiarise themselves with the philosophical tradition of India, without necessarily delving into its organised religious aspects.
Traditional Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga are practised – this includes simple posture classes for stress management and moves on to more advanced modules. The centre focuses on self-development workshops in a safe and comfortable environment – ideal for both male and female.
Accommodation at Shreyas comprises various tents and cottages spread around the expansive gardens and premises. There are 8 twin tents, 3 double rooms and 1 single. The tents at Shreyas are excellent with fixed bases and superb bathrooms which are semi-open to the skies.
