Shreyas Yoga Retreat Overview
If you are looking for an authentic spiritual yoga experience, then Shreyas is for you. Dedicated to delivering Yoga in the traditional spiritual method, it is presented in a totally holistic manner. Whilst yoga is taught in the traditional ashram style (daily yoga, meditation sessions, chanting classes, a vegetarian, no alcohol policy and community service), you’ll stay in a luxurious environment normally associated with a fine hotel. I wish I had discovered Shreyas whilst living in Mumbai, it is certainly a retreat I would want to go to repeatedly.
Location
Situated just one hours drive from the Bangalore International Airport, Shreyas is a sprawling oasis of green. With 12 different rooms spread over 25 acres of landscaped greenery, water and organic gardens, you are able to commune with nature and benefit from its healing power.
Accommodation
Shreyas is a seamless blend of the modern and the timeless, luxury and simplicity, indulgence and enlightenment. The private, serene and “simply” luxurious accommodation has been structured to make you feel like you are living in the middle of nature.
Approach to Wellness
Shreyas enables you to integrate the manifold facets and benefits of Yoga into your daily life without the austerity and rigour usually associated with an ashram. You will receive a private and tranquil haven to pamper, nourish, detoxify and recharge yourself and if you have the desire, it will provide a road map to guide you down a spiritual path of self-discovery.
Every aspect of the resort is dedicated to this purpose:
- Yoga Sessions to rejuvenate and cleanse the body.
- Meditation sessions and other yogic practices to calm the mind.
- Spa treatments to rejuvenate the body and remove toxins.
- Nourishing, organic vegetarian food to detoxify and heal the body.
- An environment and accommodations, which allow the guest to benefit from the positive energy of nature.
- Community service to experience the joy of giving.
- Discussions on yoga philosophy and scriptures.
The aim there is to take guests on a journey of self discovery, to harness and purify body and mind energy and give a spiritual perspective to actions and emotions. It is achieved through classical Hatha yoga (postures) Ashtanga (posture flow linked by breath), pranayama (breathing) and pratyahara (meditation) processes drawn from the Yoga Sutras. In addition, guests can participate in nature-based and community-based activities. These include spending time in the fields, preparing meals for children at the local orphanage, and visiting local villages. If you want to relax, Shreyas has walking tracks, outdoor swimming pool, spa, home theater, and library.
