Ben Slow, Singapore - Oct 2016
To all the staff of Shreyas, thank you for grace and kindness. I leave here to reset and heal and you have helped tremendously with that. The yoga and meditation sessions have helped me to focus the mind on what is important. The food, service and hospitality has revitalized my spirit. The kind, warm nature of all the staff has been wonderful. Thank you, I’ll be back.

Shreyas, the awesome kept secret of Bangalore! Awesome, superb, fantastic.
Seem & Rostov, Rene & Amita, India - Oct 2016
Dearest Rucha, from the time we spoke, your graciousness and hospitality and ability to understand the very specific needs of the guest was felt. It had a cascading effect on the way the staff, service and food of Shreyas operate. In today’s day and age, you definitely are a notch higher!!! Will be back.
Seema & Rostow, India - Oct 2016
Dear Rucha and all the members of Shreyas. The calm environment and wonderful service made us really enjoy our stay. Hope to come again soon. Warm regards.

This is my third visit to Shreyas. I love the swimming pool.
Kalpana, Ventakesh & Sid, Bengaluru.
Dear Shreyas team, this is our fourth or fifth visit to Shreyas and hopefully we will be back again. We can’t say what it is that brings us back again and again – the awesome food, the wonderful ambience or the super attentive staff. There’s some magic about this place that’s hard to pin down – making us feel welcome, relaxed and is a world apart! Thank you once again and look forward to our next trip here.
Damien, India - Sept 2016
This is written on behalf of Aparna Gurumurhy, Pauline Juckes and Damien Miller. We found Shreyas to be enchanting. Everywhere you look, you see beauty – a feast for the eyes. And of course the peace and quiet, and soothing green environment made for a refreshing change. Finally, the food is nothing short of awesome. Healthy and awesome! A unique combination. Thank you to all the elegant and gracious staff who make Shreyas so special. All the best.
Shoko, Japan - Sept 2016
Thank you so much for everything you guys have done during my stay. This is the best place to relax and recharge in the world. I definitely will come back next year and hopefully I can bring my mom with me that time. I am sure I will miss yoga class and food when I go back to Tokyo… Arigato!!
Hester, Netherlands - Sept 2016
Dear people of Shreyas, you’ve made our stay so fantastic! The staff is so incredibly friendly, we have never experienced that anywhere else in the world! Thank you so much. Jane & Hester. Thank you so much for making this stay with my daughter unforgettable.:))
Stephanie, Germany - Sept 2016
Dear all thank you very much for another wonderful stay. For me it is like coming home – perfect holiday with rejuvenation, meditation, wonderful yoga and excellent food.. Until next year! Namaste!
Gowri, India - Sept 2016
Dear team, thank you so much for making my stay so comfortable. I loved all my 3 days here; the food was excellent, the treatments were amazing and I have taken a lot from this place. Will be back soon.
Suresh, India - Sept 2016
Dear Shreyas folk, service is awesome. Staff is very attentive. Yoga teachers are very compassionate. Mr. Balasunder gave me good yoganidra sessions, I transcended into swarga. Dr.Shaji has turned into a Buddha, always smiling and spreading goodness; similarly his chela, Dr.Arun. Some suggestions: doors are making a lot of noise while closing; moisturiser should be kept in room. Some of the taps are not working or very tight. Great stay, will recommend. Warm regards.
Stephen, U.K - Sept 2016
Thank you all for a very special stay. I have thoroughly enjoyed all aspects. I have gained insight into aspects of yoga and meditation. The team at Shreyas are just wonderful. All of the team make you feel at ease. The massage treatments were given with care and comfort. I enjoyed also the meal times which were a wonderful opportunity to meet many people from all parts of the world. The food was extra special. Alas, my time at Shreyas has come to an end even though I caught ‘Shreyas fever’.:)) Thanks.
Vilas, India - Sept 2016
It is a very nice place to come again and again. No complaints to write here, we enjoyed.
Sudha & Bharath, USA - Sept 2016
Dear staff members or should I say family members!! It has been a very excellent stay beyond my imagination. After spending 2 weeks in other parts of India, this was a very peaceful stay. I really.. really enjoyed yoga. Food has been delicious – getting very personalised care and love from all the staff members – which makes this place very unique!! Cooking class was great, we will come back.
M.Srinivas, India - Sept 2016
It is an excellent place, out of the world. Very well trained staff and they are very hospitable. Your yoga is amazing, highly experienced teachers. Finally I want to say that I feel like coming back, I think its given full answer.
Fatema & Sara, Kuwait - Sept 2016
Wonderful and unforgettable stay. Thank you for everything and special thanks to ‘Rita’ the wonderful lovely yoga instructor.
Victoria, Germany - Sept 2016
Thank you for welcoming us into the Shreyas community with such generosity of spirit, eagerness to heal and kindness to aloe people to find their own Shreyas journey. Being alongside such smiling, friendly staff and seeing where wellness is developed and nurtured for everyone is very inspiring. Shreyas has exceeded my expectations, allowed me the time and space I so desperately needed and left me feeling stronger, lighter and healthier in more ways than one. Take care.
Alison, UK - Sept 2016
My friend recommended Shreyas to me. She loved it and it has exceeded my expectations beyond that. For me what makes it special is the equilibrium you achieve between health, relaxation, fitness and food in a beautiful environment. The Shreyas colleagues are your biggest asset – it feels like they are welcoming you into their community about which they care so much and want you to experience with them. Without exception they are equal partners in your stay. The attention to detail and zero mistakes or confusion is super notable too, as is that priority seems customer care rather than making money, I am definitely coming back.
Moty, UK - Sept 2016
Another amazing 9 days at Shreyas, m 6th visit in the last 6 years. The journey just gets better and better. Thanks, team Shreyas for making my time here yet again unforgettable. Warm regards.
Shripati & Soumya, India - Sept 2016
We had a terrific stay among fantastic people at Shreyas. Hope to be back again.

Namaste, thank you for having us. Our stay was fantastic and could not be more relaxing.Thank you to the yoga teachers who stretched us (literally!) beyond our limits.

Aida Rafie, Canada - August 2016
Shreyas has been more than I could have imagined, exceptional in every way. The staff has really made my experience here perfect, anticipating my every need even before I do. Beautiful place. Thank you!
Sally, Australia - August 2016
I am in paradise. I was told I would love Shreyas and it is beyond my expectations. The staff are wonderfully efficient and caring, food fabulous, and a feeling of incredible calm and peace. My stay far too short but I will return.
Lucy Charlesworth, UK - August 2016
A lovely 48 hours – a shame I cannot stay longer! But the place and the staff made it feel as if I was here longer. Very attentive staff, beautiful food, and wonderful serenity. Thank you!
Arun & Gurvinder, UAE - August 2016
Dear Shreyas team, in the last 2 days we have learnt a lot about ourselves. Everything at Shreyas is so peaceful and serene which makes one wonder – the real meaning of life. We loved our stay, it was great to get away from the hustle & bustle of the city life and come in contact with our inner self and nature. The staff were all amazing and kind. Loved our sessions of yoganidra and pranayama with Ms. Rita, wish we got to spend more time listening to her. Thank you Shreyas . . . . we will see you soon.
Madhu, India - August 2016
Dear all, it was indeed a journey of self discovery. I would recommend it to anybody and everyone. It has been one of the best vacations I have ever taken. Totally mind blowing. The staff, food and service and the place itself has been enjoyable and the very best. Thank you all, see you next year.
Kriti & Harsha, UK - August 2016
Dear all, it was amazing experience! This was our first retreat and the experience was excellent; the yoga teacher, Heather Morton, is the best! We have learnt lot in the 7 days then we have probably over the years. The food was out of this world; never had such a variety of vegetarian dishes even though we are vegetarians. Overall experience was great; Krishna, Santosh & Dinesh have more than exceeded our expectations that is not to say that the others weren’t. We just came across them more than others. But all the staff are very polite and obliging and very well trained! The trekking experience was made a lot easier by the staff who accompanied us, i.e. Mani, Prakash & Krishna! The trip to Mysore was very enjoyable too. It will be sad to leave Shreyas but looking forward to coming back soon! Thank you to all the staff!
Nancy & John, Canada - August 2016
We had a wonderful time! This was our first retreat and we could not have asked for a better experience. Heather Morton is a great yoga teacher, and we learned a lot! The retreat itself is so peaceful – very much worth its reputation! Thanks!
Alexandra, Switzerland - August 2016
Dear all, it was an amazing time, even better than the explanation of the website. The stay was a good mix of yoga, relaxing and meeting great people. Thanks a lot and I will definitely come back one day. All the best.
Meera & Alex, Hong Kong - August 2016
Coming back to Shreyas was just what we needed. Excellent stay as always. All staff members are so in sync with the yoga principle, food is made with such fine energies that you feel at peace with every mouthful. It’s truly hard to find such consistency in today’s time. Until the next visit keep excelling. Thank you as always. P.S: Thank you for making our daughter’s birthday and our anniversary so special. The cake was yummy!
Dinesh Anand, India - August 2016
Could not have been a better 3 nights we have had in a long time. Overall excellent, wonderful staff – we go home completely refreshed! Thank you.
Daya & Henry, Sweden - August 2016
Dear Shreyas team, thank you for making our stay a giving and an excellent experience! The best we have experienced so far in terms of ambience, wellness, service, food and everything! We are coming back! Best wishes!!
Meera & Venu, India - August 2016
It has been a pleasure to visit Shreyas for more than ten years. Over the years we have seen that the core premise of Shreyas which is ‘well – being’ has been kept absolutely intact. The dulcet sounds of the birds chirping and the wafting breeze from the myriad trees have been a beautiful constant. The immaculately maintained pool, the eucalyptus tinged wet towels, the lovely smells of the flower gardens and the almost magical way in which your shoes are turned around have made us feel the same warmth over the years. We will always be happy to return to such an abode to calm our minds and soothe our frayed nerves. Thank you for continuing the Shreyas Excellence.
Cecilie, Denmark - August 2016
After 3 weeks of work in Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur and Bangalore in rain and dirt I was so pleased to end my trip at Shreyas which gave me a little relaxation and me time. I would’ve loved to stay longer but I need to get back. The food was amazing and the staff was so polite and welcoming, and like small fairytale elf’s they made your room without you noticing it and turned around your shoes. Amazing! Thanks for giving me these 2-3 days of joy.
Sanjay & Seema, Uttar Pradesh - August 2016
Dear Shreyas team, it was a wonderful endeavour to have a stay at Shreyas. We stayed for 15 days and felt so much like home with all the warmth and excellence of the staff serving here. We are really grateful to Dr. Shaji and Dr. Ajitha for their treatments. They treated my husband of a great danger which our lifestyle has given him. All the kitchen staff was also very hospitable, the minute we asked, the food preparation were ready for us without a single no. Rita was such a good guide in teaching us yoga and personal counselling also was very good. We learnt so many new things we will surely adapt in our life style. Dr. Arun was always present for us whenever we needed any help regarding anything. The office staff was very cooperative. We could have wonderful temple visits with the help of the staff. We are really thankful to Mr. Balaji for arranging the beautiful stay for us. Above all thanks to the owner of this wonderful retreat which he has created with intellect and poise. God bless him. Thank s a lot.
Ashan & Shalini, Sri Lanka - August 2016
Dear Shreyas family, our heartfelt thanks for the most tranquil and peaceful of our lives! We came to Shreyas with an open mind, without any expectations or experience in yoga and meditation, and what a life changing experience it has been! It has been a beautiful transformation in our mind, body and soul. The staff have been beyond excellent in their kindness and attentiveness. They embody the calm and compassion that their daily yoga brings them and it is wonderful to see how everyone lives and incorporates mindfulness in their daily routine. A special thank you to our dearest and old friend Leesha for making sure we had that extra special care. Thank you everyone again for everything. We will be back.
Anna, Rickie & Mark, UAE - July 2016
Dear Shreyas team, the stay here at Shreyas has been one of a kind experience. The staff here are very welcoming and it makes me feel as if I was back home. The activities that were provided were amazing eg: community service, yoga, meditation etc. Yoga is something I would definitely continue especially as it helped with my flexibility and the breathing technique with concentration (which helps at school). I came and learned that to be fit, not everything has to be about sports. Now to the main part, food. I am definitely a food lover. Also, a very picky person. Coming to Shreyas has taught me to like other varieties of food. Coming here helped me relax more and to take my mind off studying. Back to the point, food is great. The right amount of proportions, organic food and delicious desserts. I am sad to leave this place but also exited to share and continue the things I have learned here. I am definitely looking forward to coming back.
Delphine, Paris - July 2016
Dear Shreyas team, thank for so much for this nice experience. It was my first experience with yoga and I do not know how I was able to live without it! Thank you so much for so nicely welcoming me, a very pleasant breath into nature. Hope tobe able to come back soon.
Ritu & Alok, UK - July 2016
Dear Shreyas team, thanks for the wonderful stay! We really enjoyed the fod and the ambience. The service was also phenomenal and we plan on coming back for a rejuvenating and relaxing stay! Stay blessed.
Jyoti & Peter, Hong Kong - July 2016
Dear Shreyas team, it is a great pleasure to come back here. We look forward to more visits here. The hospitality is fantastic!! With love.
Sara & Laura, USA - July 2016
Thank you so much or yet another amazing stay with you! It’s lovely here – as always – and even though we only stayed for 2 days – we feel relaxed and brought back to life! We hope to come and stay soon again. With love.
Sam Gee, U.K - July 2016
Dear all thank you for a really lovely stay. I was only here for two nights but you made me feel very at home and centered for my every need. Namaste! The yoga pavilion is fantastic, such a lovely open space.
Sarah and Susan, India - July 2016
Having lived in Bangalore for three years, we are so happy that we made the time come to Shreyas and only wished we had discovered it earlier on. It has such a tranquil and peaceful ambience, the service is exceptional and the staff are lovely. The yoga setting was incredible and we really enjoyed the morning session, it was worth getting up for! Thanks.
Vijay, Sharmila, Sunaina, Ekta & Prisha, India - July 2016
Dear Shreyas Staff, Thank you for taking excellent care of all of us during our stay. Your place is a unique experience that I will never forget. The food, hospitality & spirituality of this place is outstanding. I love the farm to table concept. Also amazed at the cleanliness of the place. The place has positive vibrations and is sure to change life of anyone who visits. Thank you!
Niculin, Switzerland - July 2016
Thank you very much indeed for the good time here at Shreyas. The 4th time for me here. I was the only guest this week here. I was like the prince and chance was with me. Everyone here gave his best to help me to recover from busy life. I could learn many things at the same time Thank you once more and hope to see you again soon.
Angelique, India - July 2016
Had the most relaxing stay at this most excellent facility. Will write a longer review at Trip Advisor, but I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your staff for such a wonderful, wonderful stay.
Imtiaz, UAE - July 2016
Great stay. It’s not the product that makes one’s stay; it’s the people – the staff and the teachers. It’s an intuitive process rather than a formula for one and all. The place to come if you want to feel centered and spiritual - irrespective of your baggage - mental, you’ll leave rejuvenated – happier – comfortable.
Sneha, India - July 2016
To all those who I met and many others who I didn’t see. Thank you for the good times. The days you filled with pleasure. Thank you for the fond memories. And for feelings I’ll always treasure. This is my second trip here and it’s even more special one. I had no plans to come here but I think this was just meant to be. Each one of you here has given me the most thoughtful gift – your time and for that, I am very grateful. It takes immense amount of hard work to maintain such a beautiful place. Thank you for ensuring everything was smooth. I never saw anyone entering my room nut every time I came back, the room was clean, the bed was made, and there were flowers. Food was served as soon as I reached the dining hall. I have no idea how all of this is done. I call it magic and each one of you is a magician. To all my teachers, you guys have been amazing and have nurtured my mind so much that it will stay with me always. Thank you for being patient and listening to all that I had to say. If I had t put one word for this stay, I’d call it enriching. I came here with some expectations and they have been far exceeded. To the chef and everyone in the dining hall, thank you for making and serving food with so much love. I will keep coming here more often but until then, thank you. You all are a family. Love!
Zakiyya, USA - July 2016
Dear Shreyas team, you have made my first stay in India memorable! Everything was wonderful and I feel much more relaxed, calm, and peaceful after my stay. I will definitely be back again! Thank you all.
Helen, UK - July 2016
Thank you for a peaceful and therauptic stay, we were very stressed on arrival, and the entire team have done a great job helping us relax. Particularly love the Thai massage in the pavilion, and the morning yoga with the sound of the birds. Thank you.
Kat and Dev, Russia - July 2016
Dear Shreyas team, I am new to India, but I always dreamt of going to yoga retreat and finally I came across your resort online. After talking to your team on the phone, I was very touched by your individual and flexible approach and was confident about coming over. Thank you very much! Food, pool, movies, service, room, yoga – everything was excellent! Loved the overall experience of Shreyas retreat. Hope to come back real soon. Thank you!!
Holly and Janet, USA - July 2016
Dearest Shreyas team, my only regret is that I leave from here so soon, but I have no doubt that I‘ll come back. This place is irresistible and unique – it is truly something else. I was told on my tour of the grounds that it takes at least a week here to truly experience it. I didn’t understand at first, but now I see that it takes a few days to really get a sense for and appreciate the way that the community functions, and the way the Shreyas family can truly support you. It is hard to see the bigger picture when you spend the first few days of your time, wide-eyed at how wonderful everything is. From the incredible amenities (the beautiful swimming pool, steam room etc.) to the life-changing yoga and meditation classes (a million thanks to my teachers), to the fresh flowers that smelled like heaven that I found, new and fresh in my room every day, to the way that someone turned my shoes around every time I entered my room. I have never in my life felt so well cared-for. I cannot thank the Shreyas team enough for the incredible good, amazing experiences, over- the- top hospitality an genuine care that I have experienced in the past few days. This was truly an experience that I will never forget – a few days that felt like a dream. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Johannes & Julia, Austria - July 2016
Dear Shreyas team, now, after this much, we are a bit sad because we can’t believe that all this is true. It was like a dream to be here at this amazing place. We felt like a part of the big family.:)) From the farmer to the cook, from the yoga teacher to the manager, every person was polite, helpful and lovely!! The food was great, we liked it very much… and soooo healthy!! One of the best things are the cooking session, the yoga lessons and the massages but, also all parts of this week were amazing!!:)) We hope to come back, it was soooo beautiful!!! Thank you so much for this experience! Namaste! P.S.: Perfect honeymoon, loved it.
Angela, Singapore - July 2016
Thank you for a wonderful retreat, everything was perfect. I wish was staying longer. Thanks to all the staff who made it so special, namaste!
Jen, USA - July 2016
Dear Shreyas family, how to put into words such an amazing experience?! Everything was beyond expectation and beautiful. I have so much to thank you for, so here’s a partial list: Thank you for: *the beautiful porch to listen to the rain and read. *yoga classes that were challenging but encouraging *massages that made me forget my challenging yoga classes… *meditation made all the better with the lovely outdoors joining us in the practice! *always turning my shoes around. *bringing me enough breakfast tea to keep me energised! *amazing food… wow… I’m going to have to fast when I get home. *the escorted walks to and from dinner so I didn’t lose my way and fall in the lotus pond… *all the amazing flowers everywhere. I have never seen so many flowers, beautiful! * the beautiful gardens – always something lovely to see. *always being so kind and generous, even though I’m sure some of you were having challenging days of your own. *the garden, such a wonderful space. *the tree house in the garden… really felt like a slice of paradise (oh, and there were flowers there, too!). *allowing me to take my tea and sit outside at the end of meals. *the much needed time away that turned into the week made out of dreams. Namaste & love.

Neha, Hongkong - May 2016
Thank you to all the staff at Shreyas – this was a wonderfully relaxing, peaceful and calming experience with phenomenal yoga classes and treatments. The staff’s attention to detail and customer service is second to none – each guest is taken care of so well. The setting here is stunning and the perfect backup to a yoga retreat.

Sarah & David, Australia - May 2016
Shreyas delivered far more than we could have expected. An amazing week with fantastic interactions and learning. Sad to leave but we will be back!! Thank you all.
Linda & Neil, USA - May 2016
We always look forward to our restorative time at Shreyas! This time we set a record with 11+ hours of sleep Saturday night. Yoga was fabulous! Meditation was great! Treatments were excellent and the food was delicious, fresh and creative as always. All of the staff is simply outstanding from our welcome greeting to saying farewell. The kitchen and dining room team is simply amazing with their attentiveness and creativity – the tables are always very special indoors and outdoors! Dr. Arun is very good, Ramakant is amazing and we loved our visit with Balaji this time. It is also fun to meet people who find Shreyas – this time from S. Africa and the U.S (like us). Thank you team Shreyas for helping us have the best ever recharge. With our gratitude and thanks – most warmly.
Bijal & Tanushree, India - May 2016
Shreyas has been a thoroughly rejuvenating experience for us. We had heard lots of nice things from friends and family but our stay far exceeded our expectations. Please keep up the good work. We look forward to coming again!
Julie, Australia - May 2016
Shreyas is a truly divine place, in every sense. This has been the most restorative and peaceful two weeks of my life. My deepest appreciation and blessings to the whole Shreyas team who excel at everything they do with a smile and an open heart. (On that more people in the wider world could do that . . . .). An outstanding experience. And I long to return to experience the exciting new dimension of the spa!
Ankol, India - May 2016
Shreyas has been fantastic as a whole. Thank you for everything. Ramakant and Bala have been such positive influences. I will return . . . . but for that I must leave. See you soon!!! Lots of love.
Leigh, Catherine & Iris, Canada - May 2016
We three family members enjoyed ourselves immensely and our visit exceeded our expectations. Our yoga practice improved and through the caring instructors, we were committed daily to the sessions – chanting. Yoganidra was remarkable. Our spa treatments were sometimes unusual but always therauptic. The doctors were especially caring. Practising in the outdoor pavilion during a rainstorm will be a lifelong highlight. All our thanks for this exceptional experience, and please everyone stay well. We hope to return. Namaste.
Caoimhe & Darre, Dublin - May 2016
To everyone at Shreyas, thank you for such an amazing experience. My wife & I spent 7 nights here doing the silent retreat package and we found it very sacred and precious. The attention to detail was outstanding. The food was delicious and the overall atmosphere was extremely peaceful and relaxing. Thank you again for such a special experience and for looking after us so well. We’ll definitely be back.
Jihane Kabbaj, Morocco - May 2016
I came for my 40th birthday to reconnect with myself and I must say this has been the experience of a life time.

JSerena, UK - May 2016

Ninu, London - March 2016
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is my second visit to Shreyas and it has been fabulous! Great service and attention to detail. I have found Shreyas to be a peaceful, perfect place to unwind, reflect. All the staff members from all departments have always been very polite and willing to go above and beyond to make my stay perfect! Special thanks to Rita, Balaji who have assisted me with pranayama and meditation. Finally a holiday would never be complete without great food. Chef Rajan has the most amazing cooking skills, and the kitchen staff - Santosh & Dinesh are always are more than happy to meet any individual requests from guests depending on their diets. Thank you again and look forward to coming again, especially once the new spa is open.

Arij & Burhan, Dubai - March 2016
We had an amazing stay! Exactly what we were hoping for and much more. The staff was so polite, friendly and welcoming at all times. They accommodated our every whim! The food was spectacular from breakfast through to dinner. Yoga was taken to another level for us – I finally touched my toes and did a head stand! Massages and treatments were so relaxing and they always remembered my aches and pains. Grounds are beautifully kept and everything spectacularly clean. Thank you to everybody who made this stay so special.
Roger & Gill, UK - Feb 2016

Dearest Shreyas team, rarely does one come across a gem of a place like Shreyas, it really live up to its name of being all round. Kudos to you. Following areas struck me in particular and helped me enjoy to the most: # Staff: From the booking and reservations, to the kitchen to gardening to yoga teachers to drivers . . . . wow – professionalism, kindness, anticipation and solution orientation . . . . and just fantastic service. Made the stay extremely special. # Yoga: The various teachers are so distinct, yet very competent. They take the time to help you make progress. Great! # Agenda: Wellness consultation, agenda, structure; yet the flexibility to fine tune it. Made my stay very personally fulfilling and achieve outcomes I sought. Total relaxation and awareness - achieved. # Spirituality and values: Special congratulations to the founder, from creating this haven – wellness of the mind, body and the soul; and training for staff and welfare for them – can see from how teamed the staff are . . . . and simple and powerful principles of vegetarian, alcohol and smoke free ambience; religious yet not dogmatic . . . .. and very inclusive ‘’sarve bhavantu sukhinaha”. # Accommodation: Earthy, plush, warm – the rooms, décor all just ‘’fit’’. Extremely comfortable, spacious and luxurious. The place just feels so appropriately done up. # Food: Local cuisine, yummy, healthy, diverse! Excellent, what can I say. In all, all these elements helped us have a fantastic stay. I leave here feeling happy and blissful, and hope to carry the energy well beyond the compound here. Looking forward to our return! Much love and thanks.

To the exceptional team at Shreyas. Hard to put to words the experience I have had at Shreyas but it has been a life changing experience of great depth and outstanding quality of guest services. Please do not change a thing. Back soon.
Astha, India - Feb 2016
To the amazing family at Shreyas, I don’t even know where to begin from. The booking over the phone with Mr. Balaji, who made everything seem so easy and welcomed my last minute requests and understood my confusion. To Mr. Ramakant who was super polite and extra helpful, the food really is the best I have eaten and so perfect and healthy. Cherished my food and loved the idea of getting the recipes. The chef is an icing on the most delicious cake! SHREYAS – WAY TO GO – LOVELY AND REJUVENATING. The best part is, every one, I mean EVERY MEMBER of this community runs to help you.
Barbara, UK - Feb 2016
To all the wonderful people who make up Shreyas team, I want to say thank you once again for a perfect stay here – it has simply been divine, peaceful, restorative and even my great 1-2-1 sessions with Ramakant (nicknamed death by abdomen!) had their moments of complete bliss! I have been here so many times and I have never been disappointed. I am already looking forward to next year and being met at the airport by Ponnappa’s wonderful welcome smile! A very special thank you to the chef for creating such wonderful meals – all served with extreme care and respect by Santosh and his brilliant team – Neelkamal, Dinesh and Rabin, all looked after me so sensitively during my 5 days silence. With love to you all.
Seda, Istanbul - Feb 2016

Laura, USA - Feb 2016
This is my second visit to Shreyas. I’ll be back again. As far as I am concerned that is all that needs to be said!:))
Priya & Rajen Ruparell, USA - Feb 2016
Dear Shreyas, thank you for an amazing and wonderful stay. What an experience! The facilities are fantastic, but it is the food and people that make this place very special. We will most definitely return. With love.
Crystal, UK - Feb 2016
My week at Shreyas was me in my most simple form enjoying the blissful atmosphere whilst the team helped me both relax and feel stronger, both physically and emotionally. Every wish was granted and I truly felt taken care of. Thanks to all of them. I will be returning.
Tamara, Switzerland - Feb 2016
Dear Shreyas team, we appreciated your hospitality very much. Thank you for making the experience a full success. We found heaven and silence in India and especially appreciated the friendly helpful staff. All the best and see you next time! Namaste.
Karin, Denmark - Feb 2016
Dear all thank you so much for your attention and efforts to give me a perfect silent week at Shreyas. You succeeded. I am so impressed and have enjoyed every minute. All the best to all of you and I’ll hopefully see you next year.:)) Namaste!
Lucy & Chris, U.K - Feb 2016
I cannot thank you enough for all of the kindness you have extended to me during my few days stay at Shreyas. Having arrived a little exhausted I have received the most beautiful, outstanding care – I cannot thank your Dr. Arun and his team for their wonderful support – it has been so sensitively connected, it is humbling – the massages, the yoga and meditation have been outstanding and thank you to the wonderful staff and the kitchen for their superb meals. Shreyas is a truly unique place with beautiful people – a haven of healing and peace. So many heartfelt thanks.
Anne, Australia - Feb 2016
Thank you and many blessings to such a wonderful team. My heart is heavy as I leave – I shall never forget you. I am off to meditation now but shall write further in the not too distant future. With love.
Anita, Australia - Feb 2016
Shreyas is a beautiful & nurturing place, and I feel very fortunate to have spent this last week here. The service and atmosphere is so personal, you feel as if you are the only person here! Thank you to the outstanding yoga, meditation and pranayama teachers. I feel my practice has really improved so much. Also thanks to the chefs for the lovely food and cooking class, and the lovely waiters who made meal times such a pleasure. I look forward to my next visit!
Anita, Australia - Feb 2016
Andrews & Saju, London - Jan 2016 Andrew and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we have had an amazing 7 days here. The beautiful, peaceful surrounds are immaculately maintained. The setting is simply stunning but what really sets Shreyas apart is your wonderful, kind, helpful, knowledgeable staff. Our experience has been truly wonderful, from the warm welcome with fragrant flowers in the early morning to the last fond farewell good byes with new friends that we have made here. We loved our luxurious and stylish room, the yoga hall and the stunning views, the candle lit dinners, the farm, the pool – I could go on and on…. We had come for a culinary experience, we love food and cooking. Rame, Rajan, Venkatesh and Vinod more than exceeded our expectations!!! They were simply superb We must have cooked over 60 dishes, asked hundreds of questions, learnt so much and what fun we had! They were kind, warm, hospitable, and generous and went out of their way to create interesting, healthy and delicious recipes. We were also impressed by the quality of produce, ingredients and the care and attention in the kitchen. The chefs cook everything from scratch using the best ingredients, we were very impressed. They make their own fresh stock for soup every day, fresh coconut milk for reach recipe and many many other details like that. The care and attention, professionalism, passion of the team is just brilliant. They simply love their craft, and are able to impart that to others. We loved our lessons so much we went to Bangalore to but similar items and hope to recreate these dishes at home and remember you with fondness. Thank you!!! We enjoyed the yoga and meditation classes, feel rested and rejuvenated and are inspired to carry on the practice at home. Thank you Dr. Shahuja for your patience, kindness and sensitivity, you have initiated many positive steps for Andrews back issue. Thanks Dr. Arun for ayurvedic consultations, it was highly informative and your suggestions are going to be put into practice at home. Thank you Rucha for your help, and arranging, organising and generally making our stay go smoothly. Thank you to our drivers for the trips to the orphanage and shopping trips. You were both patient, helpful, informative and organised so many small details. Shreyas is a sanctuary from a busy, frenetic, modern world and we both feel rested in body, mind and soul. We also feel inspir
Nicholas, London - Jan 2016
Thank you for a wonderful week. The few days I spent in silence were handled very sensitively and with great consideration – nothing is too much trouble here. It is a haven for yoga asanas and meditation. The yoga instruction is outstanding and the yoga hall an exceptionally beautiful place. The massages were special. Bala is a wise teacher. The list could go on. I will be back.
Anita & Andrew, Hong Kong - Jan 2016
It has been a truly wonderful experience. The staff at Shreyas are outstanding – attentive, dedicated, kind and always wanting to help with a smile. The yoga instructors are so knowledgeable and attentive, making the learning experience very rewarding. Our eyes have been opened and we will now continue the yoga journey. Om Shanti. Thank you.
Shagufa, India - Jan 2016
Shreyas is a ‘’haven’’ in this bustling world. This is my third visit here, and each time the experience calms m mind and my senses. The ambience and the staff are just perfect. Thank you! Hoe to be here again and again.
Ben, Australia - Jan 2016
Dear Shreyas team, I feel very grateful to have visited this very special retreat. Shreyas is truly a very unique place that continuously grows more amazing by the day. The service from the team is exceptional and the food is delicious. The ashtanga with Ramakant was awesome, his knowledge and dedication to the practice is first class. I learnt so much about my practice in such a short time. The ayurvedic treatments were fantastic – Anu was excellent. I appreciate all the effort contributed by everyone – you really care and understand how to deliver exceptional customer service.
Puri family, Ireland - Jan 2016
To everyone at Shreyas, this was the perfect place for our family to spend the new year. We found Shreyas to be the most relaxing and peaceful place for all of us to unwind. It is a pleasure to visit a place where every need is anticipated by the most attentive and courteous staff. Every encounter with the staff, whether yoga or meditation has been an unique experience. Look forward to our next visit.
Miriam, Ireland - Jan 2016
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, I never expected to be so well looked after. I will definitely be back!
David & Cheryl - Geneva, Suisse Canada & Scotland - Jan 2016
Cheryl and I enjoyed such a wonderful 10 days, from the community session to the cooking lessons, the whole experience was uplifting. Having experienced de-tox programs a few times before, the 7 days program that was prepared here was by far the most tasty and went by so seamlessly. Furthermore, the whole staff were so incredibly welcoming and warm, it was a truly blissful stay for us both. Namaste.
Dave & Patty, UK - Jan 2016
When revisiting places rich in memory one is inevitably made aware of the varied losses caused by time. What is remarkable about this place is that the enchantment has remained unblemished. Our thanks to all of you whose unfailing courtesy was humbling. Some borrowed thoughts: - We live in this world when we love it – Tagore. - We see well only with the heart – Saint Exupery. - Everything should be made as simple as possible, not simpler – Einstein. May peace go with you..
Sara & Mark, London - Jan 2016
This was our second stay at Shreyas and definitely won’t be our last! It felt like coming back to see good friends who were all so welcoming and kind and taking a genuine interest in our wellbeing. From the booking process with Balaji, to the careful consideration of Dr. Arun (particularly as I fell and hurt myself on day one!) everybody was wonderful. I would like to name everyone individually but special thanks to Bala, whose words of wisdom will go back to London with us and will change our way of thinking about life. You are all very special people. Good bye for now but see you again, soon!
Fabienne, France - Jan 2016
I have come to this marvellous place, grateful to my family (especially my husband and my sister) and friends that offered me this wonderful gift. What I didn’t know is that I will receive a second gift after coming here. The generosity of all the people at Shreyas, including the generosity of the guests. The kindness of all these people will certainly change my life, I am sure, A huge thanks for that step in my life.
Samita, Mumbai - Jan 2016
It was a great experience to come to Shreyas. The service, meditation, yoga were all excellent. Would love to come back for the experience.
Laura & Reine, Australia - Jan 2016
This is such a very special place! Shreyas surpassed our expectations! Mostly what impresses us was the tenderness and professionalism of the staff. They all work so well together and know the guest needs very well!!! The food was also a huge treat – everything was delicious, varied and of top quality. The yoga, breathing and meditation were very well done and enlightening! The spa was delicious! Thank you!
Vanessa, France - Jan 2016
Dear all, it was such a amazing experience! The mood is so special with a fantastic and unique service. In French, we can say – ‘du sur mesure’, because we are so well treated. I am looking forward to coming back soon. Thank you so much for everything. I will never forget this time. Warmest regards.
Thomas & Thierry, France - Jan 2016
Dear Shreyas team, our stay with you was absolutely fantastic, a unique experience well above our expectations!! Thanks to your constant attention and high professional skills, we went through a spiritual and physical journey towards peace and reconnection with ourselves. The estate is wonderful, a real heaven. The meal time is always a feast, both for the senses and thanks to the attention of the staff. Yoga classes are almost like private lessons and the dedication, expertise and kindness of the teachers is in itself a good reason to wake up at 6.20 every morning. We have never done that on holidays as a routine before. Well done Shreyas! Massages and treatment were another discovery and source of absolute well being. It will be difficult to g back to regular life and we will miss our retreat. Thank you so much and we look forward to our nest stay.
Helen, USA - Jan 2016
Dear Shreyas, thank you so much for everything you do, on a daily basis, to make Shreyas such a lovely place. Everything here feels like it is in synchrony – from the beautifully kept grounds and garden, to the delectable organic food and drink, to the calming and yet energising massages, to the meditation and yoga practices – yet, all of these take, no doubt, a lot of effort to keep in such good form. Please know that your effort does not go unnoticed. I am so grateful for having been here with you and feel that I leave more at peace, more centered, more full of grace, than perhaps have ever been. Thank you for making that possible for me and all your guests. You are a positive force in the world. Blessings and love.
Max & Marie, France - Jan 2016
Dear Shreyas Team, I am not sure we can find the right words to thank you – there is so much to thank you all for! - Everyone’s kindness and constant attention. - The incredible benefits of the ayurvedic treatments, with wonderful therapists. - The enlightenment of meditation sessions. - The energy of the yoga classes, led by demanding – but always smiling teachers. - The insights from ayurvedic medicine, with a great, educative doctor. - The taste of food, even the detox! etc., etc. We have spent a wonderful week, a truly transformative one. We’ll try to prolong at home all the benefits and we’ll keep in our hearts all your teachings. Namaste.
Sabine, US - Dec 2015
As always, this is an amazing place – everything is perfect. I always feel blessed to be able to come back here. The staff is as always great. Thank you for making Shreyas such a great place.
Nishant & Family, Australia - 2015
Absolutely love our 1st/2nd stay. Always feel sad leaving this heaven. We came here exhausted, drained and badly needing a break. We are glad to have come here. The staff were very affectionate, caring and professional. We loved all the sessions. We thank everybody for making our stay memorable. The best compliment I pay Shreyas – we are already planning our next holiday back to Shreyas! Thank you, merci, namaste.
Hannah, Hongkong - Dec 2015
My stay here was borderline magical! I wasn’t sure what to expect but you have managed to exceed in every area. I will carry the lessons I learnt here and the warmth I felt with me forever. Thank you to everyone who made my stay so wonderful.
Kiran, USA - Dec 2015
Thank you for such a wonderful and relaxing stay! I learned a lot from the yoga and meditation instructors and really appreciated your help with my tailoring, shopping and everything we needed – your team did a wonderful job, thank you!
Aneesh B
We spend a long weekend at Shreyas in August 2020. We really needed some downtime from the work from home routine that Covid has imposed on us. It was great to go back and get recharged with the daily Yoga, meditation, awesome massages and great tasting healthy food. The team had taken all safety precaution, when we checked in our temperature and Oxygen saturation were both checked. The food was served in a hygienic manner with folks wearing masks at all times. Given the spread out estate, social distancing and other safety measures are very easily followed as well. Overall it was a good safe break.
DunTrotter
After everything that's happened these last few months, when I heard Shreyas was opening up, I was absolutely thrilled. I am so happy to report that everything is just how you remember it. The food is fantastic - those soups are still the best in the world! The massages are divine - maybe even better than I remember. And the staff: everyone you remember is still there, from the moment you wake up for 6:30am yoga, to meditation, to the jolly chief - now more eager than ever to make whatever your heart desires, to the doc who recommend all kinds of wonderful treatments while smiling from behind her mask. During the last few months, Shreyas has also started some lovely landscaping, more flowering trees, even more grass (if you can believe it). The smell of rain on the dirt is incredible. It is so good to get out of the city again. Since Shreyas is keeping the number of rooms they let out to a minimum, you really feel like you have the entire place to yourself. Especially if you go out for a walk at the arboretum or the vegetable gardens or the temple. A poolside dinner by candlelight under the green canopy is pretty much just as incredible as it sounds. A couple nights in my favourite tent and all seems right in the world again. If you’ve missed your time at Shreyas, the good news is, everything is just how you remember it. Better even.
LaurieS
I have been to Shreyas 6 times over the past 11 years. I keep going back because of the of people who work there, it's like coming home. The grounds are a beautiful space to walk and the food is abundant in flavor and vegetables. I got a cold when I was there and the doctor checked on me twice a day and provided Ayurvedic treatments for my cough and congestion. I can't recommend Shreyas enough, it's beautiful, the people are caring and they embody yogic philosophy in their daily lives. Thank you Shreyas for another wonderful experience. Looking forward to returning.
indianearth
This was our third visit to Shreyas. We like the ambience, the laid back vibe and the overall simplicity The staff has been the same each year from the yoga sessions to the kitchen which is heart warming Meals are vegetarian and beautifully presented - we looked forward to each meal with delight and anticipation We were there purely for yoga and relaxation but many guests are there for detox treatments tailored to their needs including silent retreat Meals at a group table found an international crowd of mostly like minded enthusiasts from all parts of the world. They were all pretty much enamored of India at some level. Most of all I would commend the organic surroundings with the sound of birds and trees in the morning just about an hour outside of Bangalore. The staff is gentle and low key like the place. I would want to particularly thank our wonderful yoga instructor Rita and Rucha for being exceptional. They are invested in what they do in all the right ways
Judi C
Time out of time... time for inward focus, renewed, rejuvenated, reset myself in a beautiful, eco space, with attentive, friendly, authentic employees. Gorgeous, delicious meals. Melissa Forbes’ Sacred Geometry painting class ...inspiring!
ktoceanage
A beautiful property with lots of trees, plants and flowers. Great food, daily yoga, meditation and massages. A very relaxing and rejuvenating mini-holiday. The only drawback is that the regional train is close to the property and runs on a regular basis morning, noon and night so it gets noisy.
Daniela
I’ve stayed one week at Shreyas without having done any yoga beforehand. This has been the most amazing experience and I have learned a lot about stress management. The whole atmosphere is very relaxing, the staff is wonderful, the vegetarian food is delicious and the location is breathtaking.
Janet Wilson
I have had the most incredible few days at the Shreyas Yoga Retreat. I arrived stressed & left more in tune with my body, more importantly my mind. Yes, a stress busting few days. I left completely zen, & inspired to pursue what I learnt. I stretched parts of my body I didn’t know wee possible. Did my first head stand under watchful eye of the incredible Rita. The tented accommodation was charming. The surroundings with carefully planted & now mature trees, & vegetables gardens was truly magnificent. I’m a meat eater but the vegetarian food was out of this world. Absolutely delicious. Such a pity they do not have a cookbook as we were all asking for the recipes. Be sure that I will return.
DinnerMeister
Having never been to a retreat before, we chose Shreyas purely based on the gushingly positive reviews - which we found almost impossible to believe. Our week spent in this magical place completely exceeded our (high) expectations: from first welcome to departure, every spiritual and physical need was anticipated and catered for with genuine warmth and a complete lack of fuss. You won't find ostentatious luxury here. Instead, it is provided in the form of the highest levels of customer service, outstanding yoga and meditation teachers, superb Ayurvedic treatments and tasty, nutritious meals. The tented huts spread across the garden provide complete privacy and a sense of oneness with nature, with monkeys climbing the trees nearby and squirrels chasing each other across the roof. A daily walk around the organic fruit and vegetable garden complemented an experience that fully returned us to ourselves. We left with a degree of mental focus and inner peace never before experienced - and are planning our return visit.
Nadine D
Honestly, above expectations, from Service, to food to the instructors, the classes, Superb. I would like to thank the staff at Shreyas for the great stay and how comfortable they made us feel. will defiantly be coming back again!
Andrea G
A stay at Shreyas retreat is highly recommended, for whatever your unique needs are. The rooms are beautifully designed, very comfortable and very clean. The three course gourmet food served at every meal by friendly waiters, who catered for all needs was exceptional. The facilities, spa treatments, and beautiful grounds were a treat. The yoga and meditation was professional and of excellent standard by excellent teachers. All staff at Shreyas are exceptionally service orientated and go out of their way to ensure a wonderful stay. I would recommend participating in the community program for a humbling experience. Will definitely be going back but for a longer stay, as four nights were too short.
Mike S
No words to describe really, it overcomes my expectations every time, its far beyond being just a luxurious experience: the level of attention that goes into everything, the genuine kindness and care of the people, the healing energy in the air. Most of all, a great opportunity to begin or continue your journey of looking in. As one of the meditation teachers, Bala, always says "the only way out, is in!
Julie G
Shreyas is a very special place, which you know from the instant you arrive and when you leave by the number of guests who make annual or semi-annual visits. The yoga instruction was fabulous, and the treatments divine. The only danger is never wanting to leave and always wanting to return.
Hassy Dattani
I’ve just completed my first stay at Shreyas. This is a mini paradise is a little corner of South India. As you enter the gates the palm trees and birdsong fill your eyes and ears. Then you’re treated to the warmest traditional Indian welcome. I took the wellness package which turned out to be the perfect way to experience what Shreyas has to offer. A mix of personal and group yoga and meditation with a spa treatment every day. But the best thing about this retreat is the ambience created by the many wonderful staff who fulfil your every desire with a smile. The yoga teachers are truly gifted and will ensure that everyone progresses on their yoga journey. The food is delicious, beautifully prepared and lovingly served. Every need is anticipated. Team members discreetly turned my flip flops so they were ready to slip into and placed a towel by the poolside for me. If you’re looking for peace, enlightenment, spiritual satisfaction and physical stimulation in beautiful surroundings then this is the place.
Rayya
I chose Shreyas retreat because I wasn’t ready to travel solo far from Bangalore where I was on a business trip. And I was so happy I chose to stay near Bangalore and save time and hustle of traveling further to other parts of India. The top things I loved about Shreyas retreat: - my hut .. had everything I needed, great attention to detail - the program and the flexibility..they ask you to what extent you wish to do activities with the group or alone. I joined the others for Yoga twice a day, meditation and meals, and I did some 1:1 sessions by myself. I enjoyed my private breathing and yoga Nidra sessions and I squeezed in a facial :) - socializing with random people who join for the group meals! This was a highlight for me as I wasn’t enjoying traveling alone .. I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed the serendipity of meeting people from different parts of the world. During the short time I stayed at Shreyas, there were six other guests from Canada, France, Japan and the UK .. with so many different stories! - walk around the property was so joyful! I even pet some little cows :) - the staff: extremely friendly and helpful. The yoga and meditation teachers were wonderful, I only wished I had more time to spend with them 1:1 which they expressed they were ready to spend with me whenever I wanted. The add on 1:1 sessions were pricey but for the purpose of my trip and the time limitations I had, I was happy to pay to save time and just relax in a wonderful peaceful place.
Natasha L
Just made my third trip to Shreyas and am still amazed at how relaxed and energized I feel. The resort itself is in a beautiful setting, and it the team is constantly improving the grounds and facilities. But the real gem of this place are the staff who are simply outstanding in their care and attentiveness to your well being. It is an intimate, rejuvenating and luxurious experience!
Annita L
We returned to Shreyas for the third time and cannot say enough about how exceptional this retreat is! It is at the same time luxurious, authentic and relaxed. Their detox, wellness, and yoga programmes are effective, educational and leave you with practices to bring home that provide real ongoing benefit. The food is vegetarian and very tasty. The true magic though is in the genuine and evident caring of the staff. Too many details to capture but an unwavering commitment to the personalized wellbeing of their guests. I will return at my very soonest opportunity. Go - you will not be disappointed, my best to the Shreyas family, Annita.
Catriona M
A 6 day stay at Shreyas and we each experienced our own personal journey through yoga, spa treatments, breathing, inspiring discussions and relaxation. We gained so much knowledge from the exceptional team there and sank into the unique environment of gardens, hideaways and a beautiful pool. The food was outstanding and we also enjoyed a cookery class. Importantly, we also brought a little bit of Shreyas back home and will put our new learnings to good use. I’d recommend it for people who enjoy yoga at any level or have a need for rehabilitation. There is a high level of support from yoga teachers, nutritionists and doctors.
HopsonYorkshire
Visited for 5 days as a group of 5 friends after a fabulous few hectic days in Delhi and Agra. The perfect complimentary second part to our adventure in India and we couldn’t have asked for more! Fabulous setting with lovely walks around the garden and secret hideouts to spend time between the yoga sessions, comfortable rooms, terrific food and above all a great team from yoga teachers to spa therapists to the catering team. We could not fault their attention to detail, kindness and patience. No wonder most guests come back again and again....
GingerKJS
After Delhi and Agra the calm of Shreyas was perfect. The twice daily yoga really helped and I could feel improvement by the end of the week. Fantastic vegetarian cuisine and luxurious spa complemented the experience,
Benig M
This was my second visit to Shreyas...a much anticipated two week stay this time which incorporated a 7 day silent retreat. I found it as peaceful, soulful and most of all, as nurturing as I expected. Everyone is so helpful and will do anything (!) to make your stay perfect I was particularly touched by the addition of a desk on the veranda of my lovely cottage, so that I could journal and write..the kindness and thoughtfulness of the staff is exemplary. I am deeply grateful for the experience. The grounds and the garden with the new reflexology path are lovely. I learnt a lot from my excellent teachers, in yoga and meditation, the 6.30 am sunrise yoga was particularly invigorating and meaningful to me.
Luis
My wife and I just spent five nights at the Shreyas Yoga Retreat. It it truly an outstanding retreat. The vegetarian food (even though we're not vegetarian food was excellent and flavorful; we looked forward to each meal. The rooms were well appointed, very attractive, clean, and comfortable without being over the top. The yoga instruction was awesome--Dr Shahuja, Mani, Marakan, and Rita are dedicated and passionate about helping students at all levels. The spa technicians are excellent; Amal was particularly effective. The chef, serving staff and the general staff were friendly and helpful beyond words. Giri was particularly helpful in getting things done. A highlight of the stay was the visit to the orphanage; serving the children their meal was an honor. This was our second visit to Shreyas and I'm already looking forward to my next.
FERTON
I stayed with a friend who comes regularly. For me it was the second time. I found the rooms, food, aesthetics of things, kindness and thoughfulness were always done with the same care. Concerning the medical follow up, it appears to me even more professional.
Nunthany J
This was my first time visiting Shreyas Yoga Retreat and it was absolutely incredible. The property is absolutely beautiful and so calm and peaceful. The grounds are excellently kept and the walking trail is filled with interesting native plants and herbs to India. There are many places on the property to sit quietly and reflect which was one of my favorite aspects. The yoga and meditation instruction was amazing. I am a beginner to yoga and have come away learning so much that I will take back with me to continue my practice. The instructors are patient and kind and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of yoga. The food is so so good! Fresh squeezed juices every day, farm to table dishes, meals customized for you if you need it, etc. The service goes way beyond and the staff goes out of their way to make absolutely sure you are happy. I stayed in one of the poolside cottages which was decorated beautifully, was super clean, and very spacious. I cannot say enough good things about Shreyas!!! I loved every experience I had there and met many wonderful people also visiting for yoga or Ayervedic treatments. This is a top notch place and an outstanding experience!! I will definitely be back!
DeborahELondon
This is probably our fifth time visiting this wonderful place. Whilst the majority of people come for the amazing yoga, just as important is the programs that they run for wellness and longevity. For those who have health issues such as Mobility, Heart and other associated problems connected with age, a two or three week course of panchakarma , will help tremendously and improve the quality of life. All the medical staff are highly trained and even within a short period of time, incredible results are obtained. I will be deeply grateful for finding out various issues that I did not know I had, albeit through western diagnostics but treated with ayutvedi therapy and medication. You have full support 24/7 in a very calm and unobtrusive way. What is striking is the number of people who return and invariably some of them are hardened yoga aficionados and they all say without doubt that Shreyas’ has some of the very best yoga available. I cannot recommend this highly enough without reservation
ynottravelnewdelhi
Shreyas was beyond amazing. From the moment you step on property you feel relaxed. The staff was very friendly and had genuine concern for you to have the best time. The room was spacious, light, and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed the spa vacation. What a beautiful property with the most friendly and attentive staff. The yoga & meditation classes were really enlightening. We took yoga, and chanting, and cooking classes while there (all included!!). The instructors were amazing and we especially enjoyed the sound chanting. The spa is definitely something you can’t miss. The treatments were top notch, and the facility is breathtaking. As for the food, we were so impressed with the healthy selections and quality at dining room & the different venues for dinner. I am really looking forward to coming back for another visit. What we realised that this place needs no advertising. 99% of their guests are repeat - some have been here 9 times before - WOW!!!

What stands out at Shreyas is the services levels. With a 4:1 employee to guest ratio, the service is outstanding. Customized, efficient and warm. Yoga sessions were great, meditation was easy to follow and the spa was nothing short of a five star hotel experience. The retreat attracts people from all walks of life, which added to the experience, where delicious locally grown meals were shared alongside conversations. Everyone I had met were repeat visitors and I could understand why. Well done!

What a wonderful place, equally for body, mind and soul. Perfect place to rest, restore your energy and to get back to yourself. I don’t know where to start with praises. The grounds are so tranquil and peaceful. The whole place vibrates with incredible energy which sets you to a different level the minute you arrive. Ayurvedic doctors are so knowledgeable, very attentive and kind. Yoga instructors are fantastic, and food is beyond delicious. Spa and massages are out of this world. The whole Team is simply unbelievable, they glide around the grounds, hardly even touching the ground. We love this place! We will keep coming back!

I was recommended to visit Shreyas by my peer who live in Switzerland and this was my 1st time trying yoga retreat, I was pleasantly surprised with the total package, the serenity of the place, the freshness of the food all home grown in-house, the meaningful thoughts in how the place was decorated with planting trees that provide the best functions for their customers, the non intrusive service made me confirmed my return in future for a longer stay. Thanks Rucha for looking after me during my stay!

I have stayed in Shreyas many times - and can only write the best reviews. The spa is beautiful, artistically styled and very unique and the treatments are of the highest quality. Every time I step out rejuvenated and in a state of pure bliss - no exaggeration! The food is delicious organic and healthy. The grounds and gardens are peaceful and lovely - all set under towering coconut palms and lush vegetation. Great yoga, a delightful swimming pool and caring graceful management and staff. An elegant and special place - a treat every single visit! Thank you Shreyas!!!
