Here is what our guests have to say...
Thank you for this special experience & parenthesis in my frenzy life. Shreyas has enabled me to connect with myself again, step out of stress, duties & ego.
Staff is the most attentive but always discrete, paying attention to personal preferences.
Nature, gardens, flowers bring peace & serenity. The regular trains keep you aware of life outside of this paradise & make you feel even more aware of the serenity that Shreyas brings to its guests.
Thank you for this wonderful experience that came at a perfect moment in my life. I look forward to enjoying this awareness in my daily life, sharing it with those around me who are open to it & keep it alive through regular practice.
Love & Prayers

This place is more than I expected and could think of. Surely far too short (1 night only) but will definitely come back. This is thanks to the attention to details, the flowers all around, the super friendly staff and the unbelievable atmosphere that leaves you no other choice than to chill out.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Tesja Kersten, Netherlands, July 2010
This place has had a real soothing effect on me, especially after coming from a hectic city like Mumbai. This is the perfect home away from home experience.
The staff are extremely courteous without invading. The property is beautiful and I did not realize how time went by exploring it.
The single chant session I attended was very inspiring and I would definitely want to come back here to experience it for a longer duration.

This wonderful oasis is so much more than I expected. People of Shreyas take you in and take care of you from the very first moment you touch down at the airport. The surroundings of tranquil gardens, paths, trees and flowers sweep you off your feet and what might be a different world leaving you perplexed when leaving its gates. The patient teachers of Shreyas patiently work with you and encourage you to become a better person, before one day for sure returning to Shreyas and it taking it all in
Thank you to all of you people of Shreyas for making my stay so very special.

Thank you for such an wonderful experience. I see why my girl friend is so happy here. I have never done Yoga before, but the instructors were all very helpful. I am also a not a vegetarian in daily life, but truly enjoyed all the meals; while the scenery is terrific, it is the staff that makes Shreyas unique, we all appreciate the effort that goes into making this such a neat retreat.

Neil and I are delighted to return so soon to Shreyas! It has quickly become our sanctuary: a place to find peace from our hectic work schedule, a place to recharge, a place to advance our Yoga and meditation practice.
The staff is absolutely wonderful. It’s lovely to see how you give the staff a chance to advance their positions in teaching yoga. The spa is terrific as well.
Once again the food was yummy and served with elegance and grace. The flowers on the table are always so interesting along with the candles at night.
We look forward to the next time…
Blessing to all….
Linda & Neil Brownstein, Bangalore & CA, USA - July 2010
A day, most people would say is too less to know “Shreyas.”
I would agree, at the same time it is enough to know and feel the all pervading sense of “excellence” that Shreyas has imbued into its every feature – service, food, team, ambience, Yoga, decor, detail every bit speaks of “excellence” and it is very inspiring. We promise to return but leave “inspired.”

Warm thanks to the very kind, attentive and dedicated staff of SHREYAS; I believe this excellent service distinguishes Shreyas, and made my stay a memorable one.

Shreyas is Bangalore’s best kept secret - however it won’t be mine! I am determined to tell everyone I know of the special experience I've had here.
For the longest time I have been looking for a break to rest the mind and body. I was clear of what I didn't want – a luxurious, resort spa that was just an extension of the 5 star experience. Shreyas sounded right from the website and the book it featured in – however I came waiting to see if it lived up. And not only has Shreyas lived up - it has, beyond my best expectations, been the place that soothed, rested & rejuvenated me – mind, body and soul.
Here is something that I did not expect – I was expecting only a quiet, relaxed time with soothing massages – but what I go instead were extraordinary Yoga lessons with caring instructors. I even learned the jala neti - something I have heard of, but have been terrified to try. I also got into Meditative practice. Most important, all interventions were geared around my needs – my asthma condition. The ambience reminds me of where I come from – Coorg – so it was like being at home.
I loved the little thoughtful touches – flowers on the table – food customized as one wants – caring therapists who kept my body warm, keeping the cold in mind… I could go on. The food was just right and always a delight - it cleansed and rejuvenated the inner body – who would have thought that? To the entire Shreyas family a BIG Thank you. I enjoyed every moment here. It’s truly been a rejuvenating break. And how fortunate am I - living in Bangalore - I'll see you next year.

Having been in India many times and though my visit has been brief, (just 2 nights), I have learnt a new side to India. I had not seen before a sense of calm in beautiful surrounds, super staff whom one cannot fault and attention to detail I thought not possible in India. The wide array of learning one can undertake is profound indeed, the wisdom of the staff is calming, and the quality of service that one cannot fault leaves you to understand that at Shreyas they have gotten it right.
P.S Do I see influences of Sri Lanka in parts, I am not sure, but it all works and works very well indeed.

I didn't realize that I was on a journey at Shreyas until a few days into the stay. Even if you think you know why you need a break, a stay at Shreyas will show you the answers or path to your true journey. An apt name for this place, a wonderful experience awaits you here. Thank you for all you have given us, a gift for the soul which will stay with us for many life times…. What words can really get across how grateful we are for this wonderful experience.

Shreyas Retreat is a truly unique concept to my mind in India. It is situated in an environment far away from city, thus creating forest-like ambience. The stay here has been a very peaceful, spiritually uplifting, nature-connecting and body-energizing experience. I and my wife would
carry this experience with us and share it with our son, daughter and daughter-in-law through pictures and word-description. I do not think the experience can be shared as one needs to experience it.
When we entered the premises we were unsure of our choice as we did not know how we are going to pass our time. All we can say how is that it passed away naturally and de-stressed our ‘bodies.’ Let us hope we will be able to come back soon.

I stayed here for 21 days in a weight management package. I have reduced 13 inches and I am very happy about that. Shreyas have put me in the right way to start loosing and keeping my health in good shape. Every one was so helpful, nice and considerate. Thank you management and staff.

Dear Shreyas,
What can I say!! It has been a delightful experience for me and my husband. We have been pampered for the last 14 days and been treated like ROYALTY. The staff are absolutely amazing and care about your needs. This visit has been very educational for both of us as it has opened our eyes!! Yoga and diet is the key to sustain a well balanced life. I would like to thank the staff, management and everyone else who have been very informative. I look forward to seeing you again very soon.

Dear Shreyas
It was as always, the most wonderful time spent in peace and tranquility. Your staff are dedicated, considerate and amazing. They make me always feel @ home. The food is divine! The Yoga teachers are extremely professional and really good. After two days I feel totally rejuvenated and sad to leave. “Home away from Home”. Thank you once again and looking forward to next time.

Our stay at Shreyas was accidental, sudden, a surprise booking by our daughter Ramya. It is indeed became a pleasant surprise. Special surprise were silence on one side, birds singing on the other, very meditative surroundings, non-commercial attitude of the management as well as the staff, healthy food, clean swimming pool, instructive Yoga session, and chanting session. Our brief one day stay and experience has turned out to be force for our repeat visits.

Amazing energy Shreyas shares with one & all. Truly an awesome place, very relaxing and staff are just absolutely fantastic, very courteous and always smiling and ready to help by just one call. Enjoyed the Yoga & massages too, and definitely one on my list to return again sometime.
Stay was too short, but worth every minute.
Best wishes to all & Shreyas.

We are blessed to come back to Shreyas for a second visit and …..good surprise, nothing has changed, and it is for the best! It is still beautiful, relaxing, very well maintained...And one could not say enough about the staff. Shreyas team’s hospitality is what really makes a difference here.
Let us express our gratitude for a 10 days stay that with get us going for many months, and for some discoveries that will provide new ways of surviving to *modern* life.
Thank you!!

To Mr. Pawan Malik & the management,
Came in with very high expectations and the experience for even a day surpassed and gave me more than what I was looking forward to. An entire space created for silence and Sadhana with a complete saatvik environment, absolutely non-stimulating – be it the food, the stay, the activities, the approach of the staff and the energy around. A reflection and module of one’s basic requirement of life was experienced. Of course our stay was for few moments but this glimpse left a big impact and we are planning for a longer stay with our daughter. We were in real search for such external space to help us internalize amidst this modern, new day, highly developed but evolved environment. Lot of gratitude to all involved in small & big ways to create & give this place its right expression. A purely vegetarian place with all life science in its simplest form, keeping silence as the predominant energy and training the staff with the same essence eliminating formalities and etiquettes and being natural & simple.
Thanking all of you’ll once again & looking forward.
Fenny & Soumil Shah, India - May 2010
A calm mind can conquer the world and at Shreyas that’s what you can achieve. The quietness, the peaceful walks, the sound sleep, the cheerful and happy staff all put together makes me feel like a new person every time I leave this place.
Being Vegetarian for many is like a punishment, but after eating here at Shreyas even a cannibal would turn vegetarian. There is so much to learn from the staff here - they are the most dignified, happy and content. Always ready to make you feel special. Thank you once again for a wonderful time!
Vandana & Sanchit, India - May 2010
Shreyas is nestled just 40 Km away from Bangalore and the whole experience is truly blissful.
The property is beautiful but more importantly the staff and everyone are extremely friendly and service / hospitality makes you at home. It is unmatched. The chef is extremely good and the food is unmatched.
A complete holiday experience.

We have never spent a better 2 ½ days any where... Tranquility, Exclusive, Beautiful Architecture!
A magnificent staff who live up to the excellence of your name.
Fabulous food that nourishes your body, is beautiful to the eye and wonderfully served.
Very good treatments @ the Spa.
Delectable pool – perfect to refresh yourself in the afternoon.
For sure we don’t want to leave but we will look forward to returning to deepen our Yoga practice with your amazing teachers.
With love and blessings to you all

Many thanks for making me relax only in 1 day. Long trips / hard work made me exhausted before I arrived here. Hospitality is well designed to meet the people who want to be relaxed.
Please keep this place as it is from now on. I will definitely come back again.
Jerry Tombata, Japan - April 2010
Thank you for an amazing time. Everyone is here so welcoming & helpful. It’s often the small things that make a difference and Shreyas staff have that down to an art, e.g., turning around your flip flops / sandals, so you can step straight into them, bringing refreshments or towel when
they weren't asked for but would be appreciated.
I have had a wonderful relaxing time and will definitely be back.
Karen Golightly, UAE - April 2010

Thank you to the entire staff at Shreyas. I enjoyed my stay thoroughly and felt so relaxed, at peace & well taken care of here. I also really loved the intensive Yoga practice, and thank Ramakant profusely. As difficult as our sessions were, they were exactly what I needed in order to elevate my Yoga practice at home. I definitely plan to be back for a longer stay soon.
Many thanks again.

Thank you to everyone at Shreyas for making my stay here so delightful. The entire staff was so thoughtful, kind & attentive - the service was just outstanding! I loved the food & cooking classes & can’t wait to buy the cookbook. The meditation was lovely & fulfilling and gave me a bit of balance to take back with me.
The Yoga was challenging & pushed me to new levels which I will practice back at home.
Thank you for everything, to the peace & serenity at this lovely resort.

Laurie Schlosser, USA - March 2010
Thank you so much to everyone at Shreyas for such a lovely & relaxing time. Everything was perfect – well except my imperfect Yoga! (Thank you to Ramakant for his great sense of humor as I attempted Yoga!).
The food was so spectacular – I can’t wait to buy the cook book! And thank you to doctor Asha for taking care of me & my stomach!

The greatest compliment that I can pay for is to say that I genuinely don’t want to leave!

Dear Shreyas,
Wonderful experience just being here on a short-term holiday! We’ve done everything possible to unwind with the help of your yoga practitioners, massage therapists and helpful staff. Thank you so much for delicious food, prepared the way God only knows….!!
Thank you!!
Livingston Family, India - February 2010
I have loved every single minute here. Thank you so much - I do not want to leave. I felt like I was part of a family here rather than a hotel / spa / retreat and that is not any due to the fantastic design of Shreyas but also because of the beautiful behavior of the staff. Everyone knew our
names and our schedules and nothing was ever too much better. Shreyas will hold a special place in my heart and I do hope to come back and I will recommend it to my friends and family.

Namaste and a very big thank you to everyone at Shreyas for looking after me so well this week.
After eight perfect days, I feel completely renewed mentally and physically and I am ready with new skills to meet whatever comes my way!
There is no concept of ‘going the extra mile’ at Shreyas – this is always just the way things are here, naturally….. Excellence is a way of life. Thank you all and see you again soon.

Shreyas has completely dazzled me with its stunning simplicity, attention to detail, faultless service & wondrous food. Not only is the place utterly beautiful, but also the yoga (for which I mainly came) has been brilliant and the treatments absolutely lovely – especially the Thai massage.
Every meal is work of art and I can’t believe how beautiful the dining experience was with the petal strewn tables and the ever-smiling staff. I doubt I have ever been looked after so well & made to feel so special. Shreyas is unique in that it only caters for up to 25 guests which means that each guest is made to feel like royalty – no, better than that! I also admire the fact that it is part of the community and helps out so many people. How every encouraging to know that a place like this exists. Many thanks for everything & I know I shall return back.
Carla Mckay, United Kingdom - February 2010
This has without doubt been a holiday of a lifetime.
I have loved every single minute of it- even the forward bends. We have been looked after so well, I doubt I will ever get used to the real world again. I don’t think a princess could have been treated any better than we were – a big thanks to the lovely staff. The attention to detail is just stunning - it feels like some one has tried to work at all I want even before I have, and got it so right. Please promise me Shreyas will never change for I long to come back again and again
Helena Firth Powell, Abu Dhabi - February 2010
Though it is our 3rd time at Shreyas, I was thrilled to spend our Valentine weekend here. When we think of the perfect getaway from Bangalore, we imagine being here. The quality of our stay & attentiveness by staff has not diminished in all this time (3years).
Thank you Shreyas for existing!! I am sure this won’t be our last time!!

Shreyas – ‘a journey of self discovery’ lives up to its name and so much more. I have been completely nurtured both physically and mentally. The Yoga classes have been enlightening and I leave hugely inspired. The food is utterly delicious; every meal is a joy of creativity and
flavors. The atmosphere of calm tranquility pervades every aspect of this uniquely restful oasis.
The balance of hotel / retreat / private home is perfect. The staff are especially kind, gracious and helpful. They are magically there anticipating your every need. Shreyas has in every way surpassed my expectations.
Thank you all so much. I love this place and try to come here every time I've to stay over weekend in Bangalore.
Hope will visit you again. |

An incredibly rejuvenating experience. What a wonderful way to start the new decade. I loved the Yoga, Meditation and Pranayama sessions. The massages were very good as well. But most of all I really enjoyed the fact that it felt more like home than a hotel. The staff are so gracious
- and the communal needs are a wonderful way to connect with people from diverse life experiences.
Kudos to the creators of this space. Would love to return again and again.
Thanks

Thank you so much for the outstanding hospitality, food, yoga and massage treatments. Our stay was very short but even in two days we managed to relax and receive more than would have been possible at any other place. The ambience and serenity of Shreyas leaves one feeling peaceful and tranquil. We will definitely be back for a longer stay and highly recommend it to our friends and family.

Dear Staff at Shreyas,
Thank you for another amazing week of relaxing and pampering. The Yoga was really helpful especially the instructional where I got help with my specific problems for my lower back.
Loved all the Chanting and Meditation. Cooking class with the Chef was another great experience that I now hope I can go home and show my family what I learned. I come back year after year mainly because the staff here is so amazing and I feel so much better when I leave.
I’ll be back next year some time, so see you then.
Tina Schmidt, USA - January 2010
To all the staff at Shreyas,
Every year that I return I find you take me a little farther down the road to peace and tranquility.
It is a joy to know you all. There is something quite mystical hovering over Shreyas. The beauty of nature surrounds me and I simply appreciate life anew. Combine this with simply the most wonderful, genuinely caring staff and you have perfection. I return to my reality recharged, refreshed and ready to meet any challenge! Thank you from the bottom of (much lighter) heart.
Bonnie Ward, United Kingdom - January 2010
Thank you Shreyas for giving us exactly what we came for…amazing yoga, incredible instruction in meditation and delicious healthy food all in an incredibly beautiful surrounding! It’s pretty hard to relax these two high-strung New Yorkers but Shreyas did the job. Look forward to coming back with friends & family.
Warm Regards

Thank you Shreyas for the most wonderful retreat- I arrived like a “spring” - tense and am returning UK like a bouncing ball. The food, company, staff, yoga, treatments all out this world. At last I have found a little piece of heaven on earth that I can return to. Thank you to each & every one of you that made my stay so very special.

Thank you to everyone at Shreyas for making our stay such a pleasurable experience. The classes of yoga & meditation the wonderful treatments were fantastic & I will be returning to London feeling like a new person. The food was exceptional what a wonderful chef so accommodating to every need, inventive & happy to share his recipes! Shreyas is a magical place! I have been inspired by your wonderful food, friendly service, amazing massages & great yoga! I will try to take a little bit of Shreyas back with me to life in Dubai. A very, very special place.
Thank you |
The fondest memory of my time at Shreyas was the care and attention of the staff in a time of need. My mother took a fall (from a broken flip flop) and severely sprained her ankle. Instantly, a series of staff members appeared at the scene; some with ice, others just to offer help. Within minutes, the doctor on call arrived and escorted my mother and I to the closest hospital. The care at this hospital was good, but the staff insisted on a second opinion, which is why they drove us to Bangalore's most trusted hospital an hour away. Upon returning back to the premises, staff would frequently drop by the room to check on my mom and in some cases massage and ice her ailing ankle (for no additional charge, obviously). The food, premises, yoga, people, was all 5 star, but their sense of love and hospitality is what really stuck out in my mind.
Nick Taylor
Shreyas is a must-do experience! It is a wonderful relaxing & natural retreat where your every need is considered & looked after. If you are searching for a luxurious yoga retreat with flexibility in schedule & amazing treatments on site, this is the place to come. The highest quality service. I will be coming here again!
Ps. Today is my 30th birthday & the staff went & so much effort & ensure I had a great day - the cake was so thoughtful & I really appreciate it
Bronwyn Wilson, Australia - January 2010
Thank you to everyone fro such a wonderful experience – the retreat lived up to my every expectation & more. I will be taking away with me the many things I have learned & also learnt about myself in this tranquil setting.
Lisa Griffiths, Australia - January 2010
I did not know what I was looking for yet I knew I would find it in India - a place to meditate, to de-stress, to figure out life’s next step. Purely by serendipity (or perhaps by design), I found the name Shreyas and within a moment's notice, I found myself booking a few nights here. It was exactly the place I was looking for and has given me all that I needed. That said… I am already looking forward to returning. Thank you to everyone – Namaste!

Thanks to all of the staff to have made this journey so special to me. It was indeed a journey of self discovery. Thanks to the combination of every single person working on this land, my
journey became extraordinary! Thanks to Ramakant for pushing me just a bit further along the road and for being there of any time! Thanks to Krishna Prakash & Rucha for guiding me on my way to meditation! Thanks to doctor Asha for getting my health back to “normal” and for
teaching me again how to wear my sari! Thanks to the massage team for these wonderful experiences - you took care me! Thanks to the housekeeping personnel for having my room always dressed and decorated with such beautiful flowers. Thanks to the people that work in the garden to make this place so extraordinary. Thanks to the cooking personnel to make me discover the beauty of nature on my plate. Thanks to all people working “behind the scene” to make this place like paradise on earth.
You all together are one wonderful team! Keep it that way because that is the way of your success!

On 3rd Dec 2008 I suggested we would be back! On our return we were reminded of the relaxing atmosphere of this Oasis of calm, the ultra friendly obliging staff and the exquisite food. The food is amazing, the décor is wonderful, the pool is terrific and the massage is great but nothing compares to the utterly fantastic hospitality from all of the staff at Shreyas. How could I forget the Yoga?! The best! We have never before experienced such seamless generosity as we have in the last week. There is something truly special happening here and we feel privileged to have experienced it.
Thank you and Namaste. |

I am very sad to be writing is this book as it means its time to leave…Shreyas is a special place, a beautiful cocoon away from the “real world,” which seems to be what a lot of us are looking for these days & it’s so hard to find. The staff that work here are is a league of their own – instead of just having one or two good people, every one was fantastic across the board. The attention to detail here is very refreshing in a usually very transient world.
Thank you all so, so much for everything - from being taught new Yoga postures to all the people who turned my shoes around 17 times a day!

The more we say the less it is. The days spent in Shreyas are surreal. Everybody is extremely is kind and courteous and so switched on to your needs and requirements. Shreyas is like a little paradise where your every physical and mental requirements are met. The birds chirping, the lush green trees, the horn of the trains, the dogs barking, the chanting, the smells of the flowers, the different essential oil smells, all make up this haven. The food, we are speechless. We over ate at every meal.
We hope to be back every year. Vinay Maya, India - January 2010 A truly emotional experience from beginning to end, which was not what I had expected, even as a beginner! Thoughtful and sincere staff, beautiful surroundings, and expert guidance all contributed to a memorable stay. Thank you!
Anjali & Louisa, United Kingdom - December 2009 |
It is hard to find words that do justice to Shreyas. We have been absolutely overwhelmed by the love shown by all of you. We hadn’t ever spent an hour here before we started talking about coming back - and nothing since then has changed our mind. If anything, the experience we have had here just reinforced that original thought. We definitely want to come back and wish you all the very best. Also want to mention the lovely friends we have made here – both staff and guests.
Will go back to London and start planning our re-union!

We have come here with our kids aged 15 months and 4 years. I must say this has been the most blissful experience we have had in many months. The books, the pool, the food, staff, ambience and everything were great.
The only thing that can improve is that the kids were expected to be quiet. That was the only thing that bothered us because the staff seemed more bothered about it than the guests! After all, after one unsuccessful attempt at keeping my 4 years old quiet, the Yoga teacher said, “its all about inner tranquility.” I appreciate it... that's the spirit of Shreyas!

leave, and the fact that my shoes won’t be turned around when I walk into a room!!
Thanks a lot!

Shreyas is an incredible place. The atmosphere, schedule, (Yoga, chanting) and staff were absolutely fantastic. Everything was so well taken care of and so well thought out that it feels like one has an entire staff and 25 acre plot to themselves! A great place to unwind & escape from reality (hectic life), to try and be at one with nature and at peace with oneself. No doubt we expect to come back. Thank you for everything.

Thank you to all the Shreyas family for leading me an amazing eighteen day voyage of discovery for my body, mind & soul. You have all participated fully to make Shreyas truly a living example of that way of life we have come here to experience. My every need, known & unknown, has been anticipated by absolutely everyone here with care & compassion. An umbrella even appeared when I was caught in an unexpected down pour in the gardens.
Every corner I turned showed another true example of excellence: from the Yoga, chanting, meditation, & massages, to the wonderful food, service, table decorations, the flowers on my bed and the gardens.
I go home rejuvenated in body & spirit, feeling part of the extended Shreyas family and I will return.
Thank you all - with love

Balanced on a leaf, about 40 kilometers from Bangalore, sits a crystal clear rain drop. If you look closely there is a perfect reflection of a place named Shreyas. Landscaped gardens filled with flowers and fragrance becomes clear immediately. If you look closer you will notice an array of tented cottages, Yoga pavilions, massaging corners and meditating places. Closer still and the heart and soul & Shreyas becomes apparent. The twinkle in the eyes of each and every members of the team that creates and supports the perfect place that is Shreyas. 40 kilometers outside Bangalore, there is a raindrop, balanced on a leaf, reflecting pure love and kindness.
Thank you all for the most wonderful 10 days.

This is my first trip to India and I decided to spend my first days at Shreyas. I knew the minute that I arrived that I had made the right decision. It is the perfect introduction because the staff are
wonderful, the food is excellent and one does not feel any stress. I learned about Yoga and will try to incorporate this into my daily routine. I cannot think of a way to improve Shreyas because it is so well-managed. It is a pity that more of the world doesn’t run so efficiently. My only suggestion would be to have a little more information about India- culture, history, economy for new comers like me.
Janice Albert, Italy- November 2009
We came to Shreyas to prepare for a friend's wedding in Bangalore and to have some “time out” from our London schedule. We had a really excellent time, very relaxing + strengthening of the soul. We would definitely come back.

There are so many things which make Shreyas wonderful. The food, the accommodation, the gardens, the toads who paddle in the pool in the evenings...But ultimately it is the people who have patiently guided me to my own 'place of calm' and for that, I thank them all. I shall cherish the gift.

A wonderful place that was better than I’d expected - on all levels. Many thanks to the employees who make this place what it is & wish everyone all the best. The moment you walk into Shreyas there is an overwhelming aura of calm and peacefulness. The team here are genuinely interested in fulfilling your every need, and everyone is tranquil and smiling. The yoga teachers and those who share their knowledge of the other limbs of yoga are inspiring in their knowledge, and yet so very grounded and approachable.
Shreyas has given me a chance to refresh my body and mind, and the opportunity to learn so much to take home with me.
I cannot thank you all enough. I do hope that I will return. Namaste |
We came here just to getaway from the city and be at peace with ourselves for my 23rd birthday. And now we all leaving totally content and happy and happy. The time i.e., more (or) less 24 hrs, we spent here were exclusive, close to the nature and calm, serene.
It was like heaven exclusively designed for you. The flowers, the arrangement of meals, the service, the pool, the home theatre and above all the freedom you feel here are impeccable.
If people can connect with themselves within 24hrs, anywhere then its here at “Shreyas” (the name itself well describes the place). Attention to detail, excellence at par.
Definitely looking forward for a longer stay. Hope that you keep us posted.

We not only enjoyed the beauty of nature at 'Shreyas', we also enjoyed the natural smile on every employee's face. Both people and place are very much at 'Peace'. That is the marking difference at 'Shreyas'! Thanks for Everything & Everybody!

I feel very lucky to have been blessed with the opportunity to get pampered and introduced to so many fantastic new experiences at Shreyas. It has provided me with new outlooks on life and the Yoga and chanting have been amazing discoveries for me – for which I’ll be forever grateful. The food has also been simply amazing and tailored for my taste and needs- fantastic. I leave Shreyas with a great genuine smile on my face and hope to return. From the bottom of my heart: a warm thank you to all fantastic staffs all Shreyas - you have all made a real difference to my well being.

We had a splendid weekend stay at the 3 bed cottage here. We had opted out this place from the various resorts and found it the best, surely it has exceeded our expectations in every single way. The amenities are compelling; cleanliness and service the best. We are grateful to the cheerful and friendly staff, the splendid chef for his food and the extravagant service. We would like to especially thank Mr. Ramakant, Mr. Dayanand, Mr. Santhosh and the chef for this wonderful stay here. We would recommend this place against any of the current commercial resorts.
Thanks again.

We came to visit Shreyas as travel agents from the Netherlands. After a long flight from Amsterdam. Shreyas is the perfect place to relax, to start a business trip. Unfortunately we could stay just for 2 nights. That is too short. For our clients we will recommend at least 4 days. And hopefully we can come back ourselves as well, but then without business to do.
Thanks a lot!

Shreyas is like one big happy family, the atmosphere is the most peaceful & relaxing that I’ve experienced. The family feel makes it a very comfortable feeling as soon as you enter the grounds. It’s difficult to describe how well you have mastered it. The service, yoga, spa, room / cottage is amazing much more than a five star hotel and the dining experience each one is phenomenal, the food & service is exceptional. I also saw this place on the internet and unlike many others this is beyond what you see on the internet. I will pass on my experience + praise for Shreyas & hope to return very shortly! I’m also considering being vegetarian – the food was so exceptional.
Many thanks to all the staff, you made me feel very at home. See you again soon.
Sukie Kooner, UK -September 2009
It’s always good coming here to Shreyas… so comfortable and peaceful here.The children enjoy being here and so do we…always looking forward to coming back and just being here, in peace and the silence around.
Manuela, India – August 2009
I just love this place, and I love everything about it. There is no question for me where to stay over weekend when I’m in India. Please continue to do what you are doing now. You are a wonderful community and excellent business. I wish you to grow, develop, prosper and succeed as much as possible.
Asher Sterkin, Israel – August 2009
I do not know how to begin to express my appreciation to everyone at
Shreyas for providing a most unforgettable journey the past 18 days.
Perhaps it would be by telling you how I have witnessed kindness beyond
compare.
As well as the enjoyment and practice of a way of life that puts big
smiles on your faces.
I want you to know I now own that smile!
Thank you!

Shreyas has been an inspiration. Although here only for a short time, I have experienced something of the benefits and joy which the Yoga practice can bring especially in such divine surroundings with food and service so excellent.
Everyone here has been charming, unfailingly helpful and polite - whilst not being at all overbearing. I have never experienced such dedicated and lovely service. I will recommend Shreyas as one of the best retreats / hotels I have ever been, and I hope to continue with the Yoga that I have so enjoyed here.

Shreyas is a little oasis in the “middle” of India. A beautiful place to come & find whatever you need. The staff - an excellent, 5-star all the way. They clearly take pleasure in working here & it shows in all that they do. I come to recharge my batteries & kick start healthier life. I think I leave equipped with a new set of tools to build on what I have gained by being here. I wondered if 9 days would be too long; I wish I had 9 more.

We are a family with two children aged 10 & 6. Today is my wife’s birthday and exactly a week ago, she requested me to take her to a place where she could completely unwind & rejuvenate. I found this place on the net and after some research, made reservations for 2 nights. After leaving the kids with their grand parents, we set out to Shreyas with guarded optimism.
WOW…… what a place. After 2 nights at this place, I must say it exceeded our expectations on every count. It provided us with calm, serene surroundings and extra-ordinary staff who took care of every need with a smile. The Yoga sessions, pool and food were all designed to completely relieve you of tensions. We had a wonderful time and are adequately recharged to go take on the world.
Sudhir Reddy, India - August 2009

In case you are wondering, yes, Shreyas is worth a second visit. I was here last October and eagerly anticipated this return trip. Shreyas surprised and overwhelmed me again. In just a few days I’ve taken my Yoga practice to places I’d never been. I was introduced in a thoughtful, respectful way to meditation and relaxation techniques that I can use at home. The massages and the food, if anything, have become even better since last time. Absolute excellence! And, above all, to be greeted by the staff here as an old friend filled my heart with love.Yes, I’ll be back again.

Wow!! Wow!!
Unbelievable, the most serene, tranquil, calming & peaceful resort. I’ve ever been to. I saw this on the internet, made a decision and arrived 4 days after seeing the website. Unlike many things on the net this resort is everything & more. Staff is the best I’ve come across, although not a vegetarian, if I was guaranteed food like I’ve had here I’d be very happy to be. Can the chef come back to Sydney with me so we can open a restaurant!
The personal attention for Yoga & Meditation classes was brilliant. The massages were spectacular (especially the chocolate scrub).
To end – as the current Governor of California (A. Schwarzenegger) once said ‘I’ll be back!!”

We are blessed to live in Bangalore and therefore just a short drive away from Shreyas. So we keep coming back! Wherever you live, Shreyas is so worth a visit. And if you live in India or are visiting, you should make it part of your “must-do” not to be missed list.
Thank you to all the staff for making our stay, a pleasure, as always.
A lovely welcome, superb cuisine + décor, fabulous service ….see you soon!

Arrived at Shreyas straight after a 6-month long project – late nights, long haul fights, jet lag, lack of exercise – I was a mess. First day was tough; I had to get back into Yoga after a long time and go without coffee, sweets etc. Within four days, I feel completely rejuvenated and
much fitter and ready to handle anything!
It was a great experience and I would definitely do it again. Many thanks to the staff at Shreyas for making my solo trip so enjoyable and comfortable. They were willing to meet my every need, including giving me a list of shops to visit in Bangalore City!
Food was simply fantastic!
Namaste,

To everyone at Shreyas,
When I first learned of Shreyas on the internet and invited my mom to go on the retreat with me, I had no idea of what to expect. The pictures online were pretty and the website promised a good experience. Having been here for last four and a half days, it has truly been an amazing experience for many reasons.
* Morning and afternoon Yoga - Thanks to Dr. Satheesh and Bharat – both classes have taught me a number of new Yoga processes that are new to me, especially appreciated the breathing techniques & Jala Neti.
* Morning Meditation initiation by Krishna Prakash - I hope that I can take back the practice I learned and continue when I leave here and head back home.
* Breakfast, lunch and dinner – a perfect marriage of chef Ramegowda’s cooking and Santosh’s table-scapes (my most favorite) and service, as described by my mother, Jaya. Every meal is something to look forward to and I always expected to be blown away by their innovation, simplicity, tastefulness in décor and of course the tasty food! Especially enjoyed
the nights out in front of the pool and in the back courtyard (love the paper bag & hanging candle lanterns).
* Kavitha’s massages were relaxing and rejuvenating.
* Everyone else behind the scenes who make it all happen with grace & individual attention – especially the person who sets up Yoga mats and flips the slippers.
* The vegetable & fruit garden that was a joy to walk around in and also made me want to eat the fruit and veggies! It was exciting to find them on our plates at lunch or dinner (or breakfast!)
* Finally, I learned a number of things but most of all to step back and relax, eat healthy & enjoy the Yoga practice.

I look forward to taking what I practiced here with me
when I leave here and continue at least some of the things – esp.
the Meditation initiation and the Yoga. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

P.S. For the most part, Shreyas does not feel like a ‘hotel’
or a ‘spa’ – the lack of commercial vibe appeals to
me the most about this place. …. And I expect that Shreyas will
only get better when I’m back again in the future (hopefully with
an even nicer spa experience, in a non-commercial fashion).
Shreyas provided the perfect
weekend getaway for us. We wanted a relaxing environment away from the
hustle, bustle of the city and we got it. Yoga, spa, food, ambience –
everything was great. All the staff was especially courteous and welcoming.
They had smile on their face at all times. They went out their way to
accommodate us and to make our stay special. We will definitely recommend
Shreyas to our friends and we will be back.

@ Shreyas everything is
an ‘art’. The way – the place, the objects, way of teaching
yoga, serving food, making food…..! One needs to experience, words
are not enough. My daughter and myself relished every bit of Shreyas –
the meaning ‘excellence’ stands in its truest sense.
Hats off to the founder who created it.
I shall be in touch.

We were always under the
impression that you had to die to go to heaven. How wrong we were!!
Shreyas is like a little heaven on earth. It far exceeded our highest expectations in every aspect to name but a few, the serenity, the ambience, the warmth and attention to detail of every single member of staff. We are leaving Shreyas after 14days with all the teachings here kindly installed in our hearts forever. God willing we shall return soon.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!

was nourishment for my soul as well as my body. I truly have appreciated
all the encouragement from the staff. I am amazed that when I wanted to
be alone, I was. When I was thirsty, out of nowhere water appeared. I
only had to think of something and it was
arranged. This is an experience I will always treasure and will definitely come back again.

Very good Yoga classes.

Weather…! Perfect. Excellent massage.

Coming to Shreyas has been
a ‘gift’ to myself. I have so thoroughly savored the solitude
and tranquility here. This is a very special place – a place to
truly unwind and indulge in just “being”. Exploring, Yoga
has been a special journey for me and has taught me so much about the
meaning of balance and stillness. The instructors, staff, everyone here
are so committed to sharing their knowledge and helping you discover how
you react and interact with your surroundings.
Shreyas has really helped me start my journey…..I feel very blessed
to have experienced this special place- “A gift for the soul”
Stay well, continue your good work.

"Shreyas" means
excellence and for sure, absolutely everything confirm this promise -
from the delightful garden which welcomes you first, to the gentle, caring,
elegant staff to the well designed, yet challenging Yoga processes and,
last but not the least, the delicious, tasteful and fresh food. We arrived
exhausted, wondering how much one week would help us restore our bodies and mind. We enjoyed each and every moment of our
program, feeling better each hour. We leave feeling fresh and ready for
a new start, taking with us the poetry of the place and the tool box to
help us maintain this state of mind until our next visit.
Warm & grateful thanks to the entire team.

I should have traveled a long long way to find such a haven on earth.
The stunning setting is complimented by warm & friendly staff. The
massages were rejuvenating & also very expertly handled. The yoga
instructors were skilled whilst being warm & friendly. I wish I could
have stayed longer but I will definitely be back.

Dear Shreyas Staff,
I came here after nine months of adjusting to living in Mumbai (expat from US). A dear friend of mine said I must do yoga whilst in India. She has been practicing for 5 years. So, I went on-line & booked. My office mates thought I was crazy for going somewhere without recommendation. Were they ever wrong!
It has been a much needed rest & rejuvenation time. You are all so considerate & it is so quiet, especially after the chaos of Mumbai. I’m not too great at yoga, but the instructors were amazingly patient. By day 3, I actually felt like I may understand a little bit about breathing. The food is absolutely the best that I have ever eaten. I just wish the chef could come back to Mumbai with me. I’ve already recommended you to a friend and his wife. I will definitely be back before my India assignment is over. I just wish I could move in!

I came here after nine months of adjusting to living in Mumbai (expat from US). A dear friend of mine said I must do yoga whilst in India. She has been practicing for 5 years. So, I went on-line & booked. My office mates thought I was crazy for going somewhere without recommendation. Were they ever wrong!

To the M.D. and entire
staff of Shreyas.
It was our 9th anniversary and one of the near and dear suggested this place. We were open to the new experience as were hardly knowing about Shreyas. But after staying for 2 days we had a fabulous experience. We are very much thankful to the staff who have decorated our room with flowers on our marriage anniversary. The food was delicious. We liked the overall ambience. It was truly international. Behavior and co-operation of staff members was touching. It was surprising that being a vegetarian spa it attracts huge foreign crowds. Our special thanks to the chef and team for making our anniversary dinner so special. This could be our anytime holiday destination in future.

Well it didn’t take
me long to come back and Shreyas was even better the second time round.
I almost felt like part of the family, there was so much care and attention
to every detail – all done with genuine devotion. So, thank you,
thank you, I will be back and I will send all my friends.

As a solo traveler Shreyas
provided a perfect holiday for me, I liked having structured day, with
the endless possibilities of changing it. I also liked that the service
was excellent, but the surroundings are simple- admittedly with a touch
of luxury! I leave feeling relaxed but challenged physically –and
very sad to go.

The last eleven days at
Shreyas have been a privilege and a blessing. I could never have envisioned
a place such as this where everyone takes such care of your environmental,
physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
This has been a truly blissful experience and I look forward to returning again to the Shreyas family.

OK, what do I/we write,
I /we have no words to explain how I /we feel, and what I/we have experienced
here. I/we have never been to such a wonderful place before & it has
truly touched our hearts. The staff always had a happy aura and were always
very welcoming & helpful. There is absolutely no farce in this resort
- (Shreyas Retreat).
From the moment we stepped into the resort we had a very warm welcome from everyone, which has continued throughout our stay. We’ve learnt a lot about the way we can make our lives better back home. All the activities that we have done here such as Yoga, Chanting, Pranayama, Meditation… have never been done by anyone of us before and have noticed a big difference in our bodies, for the better.
Meals were excellent, we’ve never had continuous good food (wholesome) before. There was never a time that we felt that we could not ask for more…
The treatments taken were also very good.
We’d like to thank everyone at Shreyas for all the help and support throughout our journey here. Wish everyone here all the best for the future and we shall definitely see you all in the near future.
All the best!!! Many thanks & kind regards,

I have been to many places
around the world, & this has been one of the best holidays I have
ever taken. I had never taken a Yoga class before this, and the experience
was wonderful, & has made me realize what I have been missing. I intend
to carry on, when I get home. Everything, about Shreyas is absolutely
perfect. The attention to detail, the way you are made to feel so special.
This has been truly wonderful & I look forward to returning as soon
as I am able.
Thank you.

I had an amazing 4 –
day stay here. The staff was great, from the Yoga instructors to the servers.
Really rare to find a place that describes itself as spiritual/Zen etc.
And have it reflected in everyone that works there. Beyond that, the place
itself was beautiful, from the cottages to the pool and Yoga center. The
people here let go at your own place, but always can offer incredible
insight when you want to go deep.
Finally, I really appreciate them trying to help incorporate Yoga into my "Real" world. Thanks for the amazing experience!

This is truly an amazing
place. I’m finding it difficult to describe the experience. Shreyas
is supposed to be a journey of self-discovery, but for me, it was a journey
of selfishness. It was pure indulgence of the mind, body and spirit. The
Yoga classes brought peace to the mind, the chanting created awareness
of the spirit, and the massages melted all my stresses away.
And if that wasn’t enough, the staff was EXTRAORDINARY. I have stayed at 5 stars Michelin rated hotels, but none could compare to Shreyas. I never felt like a guest. I was a member of the family – so warmly received with out stretched arms. I loved this place and will come back soon.

To Everyone at Shreyas,
I have spent a blissful 20 days at Shreyas Christmas 2008 – 9th
Jan 2009. I didn’t really know what to expect when I came here,
but I knew I needed to find some way to cure my back spasms and lead a
healthier life. I’m leaving Shreyas with no back pain (what a relief
as I’ve suffered for many years) thanks to the wonderful yoga classes
and dedication of the teachers and massage staff. This is really home
to me, I’ve loved each and every minute here… I’ve received
an abundance of love from KP, Rucha, Ramakant, Bharat, and Dr. Sateesh
as well as all the kitchen staff & housekeeping staff.
You have to experience this place for yourself as there is nothing like
it anywhere I’ve traveled. I have felt so nurtured, protected, cared
for and loved and I feel truly touched and blessed to have started my
new year in a place bathed in simplicity, truth and spirituality.
As well as healing my back and having completed 43 yoga classes in all,
I can feel my flexibility has improved exponentially. I have had a chance
to eat well, rest well and totally focus on me and heal myself from the
inside out. The biggest bonus for me was the one to one teaching and wise
wisdom from KP. I am going home having learnt some tongue twisting mantras
and with a new enthusiasm for learning more about our spiritual text.
I am leaving Shreyas with a definite sense of confidence about integrating
the building blocks I’ve built here, back home in London.
God willing I’ll be back to enhance my spiritual practice and experience
the wonder of Shreyas, very soon.
My love and best wishes to all my brothers and sisters at Shreyas.

As a faculty member of
the study group from USA – I relate these thoughts & reflections
about Shreyas, both – on my behalf as well as what I heard from
other group members.
We were all moved by the staff – their devotion to service & attending to every comfort of the guests in a personalized manner. They were authentic, genuine & helpful.
The environment and the ambience at Shreyas was both aesthetic & spiritual. The yoga teachers were excellent, the massages exquisite.
Having stayed at other resorts & retreats in India over last several years. I certainly rate Shreyas at the top of the list. I highly recommend it & god willing – I hope we will be back – Best wishes.

Shreyas is a truly special place and I thank Mr. Pawan for having such amazing vision to create a little piece of God’s own country in such a wonderful retreat. He has created an oasis in this hectic and turbulent world.
God bless you all at Shreyas from the management to the chef, yoga teachers, everyone too numerous to mention. I leave with lots of happy memories of a wonderful heaven, lots to think and reflect on but most of all Shreyas has enabled me to restore balance in my life. I will be back to this special place called PARADISE – “SHREYAS.”
Thank you all and wish you all the very best for 2009

Massages were fun, candle gazing was interesting. Staff Excellent (responsive and very courteous), playing cricket at the nets was enjoyable - Arun should reduce his bowling speed – bowls very fast!
Food was healthy (low on oil and salt) coffee was so good that I got addicted!
Thanks Leesha & Pawan – you have given the people of this country a lovely place to go to.
Happy 2009. Best wishes.

Shreyas was recommended
to me by an acquaintance and so taking her word, my husband, who has not
done Yoga, and I came for a five day stay. We left London both suffering
from flu and gradually, day by day got swept into the Shreyas' gracious
and solicitous routine that has both relaxed us and allowed us to embark
into this New Year with energy and purpose. Thank you particularly to
every member of the staff who have all looked after us with incredible
attentiveness and professionalism – A heavenly retreat.

more than I can write about. Every thing flowed with such ease and the
staff’s attention to details made me feel at home throughout my
stay. I’ve improved my Yoga practice with the dedication and patience
of Ramakant, but I take with me so much more than a better Yoga practice…..
The inner peace this place has given me, and the bliss here exceeded my
expectation!
My appreciation goes out to all the staff, whose love for what they do is reflected throughout Shreyas.

THANK YOU!! for creating
a paradise (heaven) in earth. This is the best place I have been in my
entire life. The positive energy, the greenery, mantras all resonate to
create a very powerful, peaceful effect on the mind & physical body.
When I was driving to Shreyas, I was barely able to walk. I had severe
back pain & I was totally depressed & couldn’t understand
the meaning of life. Now after five days, I have NO back pain and I feel
less depressed. I still have a long way to go in terms of meditation &
finding the meaning of my life. But I am glad, I have at least been provided
the means to start this journey of pursuit!! I will be here in March 2009,
& I am sure I would have at least become a little better person. Thanks
again, for providing such a wonderful food, service & paradise on
earth!!

Your staff are angels from heaven, always waiting to be of assistance, to help in your rejuvenation.
The food- what can I say? It’s incredible, beyond delicious – I wish I could eat more!
The garden cottages are that extra touch in escaping our crazy lives & surrounding ourselves with luscious greenery, nature, peace & tranquility.
But what truly makes the experience a dream come true are the special touches – fresh flowers in the bedroom, decorations on the table, candles on the footpath, incense while practicing Yoga…… It creates the magic of Shreyas. There is no doubt I will be here again for a touch of heaven!

Having a direct experience of a greater awareness that is possible, if one is willing to enquire, self-reflect and establish a firm base in their spirituality.

Love and light to all at Shreyas.

No matter how often one comes to Shreyas, every stay is a “true journey of self Discovery”. Maybe more intensive with time or circumstances, but always rewarding. Some places give away soaps and shampoos, Shreyas offers you have love and attention. This fourth stay has been particularly helpful for me as I am going through a difficult time and I shall be leaving tomorrow rejuvenated and equipped to face the new challenges waiting for me….. Until my next visit.
Seeing the same faces over the years contributes to that
feeling of belonging and speaks a lot about how the place works and the
beautiful philosophy behind it all.
What can I add but, once again, Thank you!

Shreyas has given us true
inner peace, although our stay was only 2 days long we have truly been
able to destress & relax. The attention to detail in everything is
extraordinary. I look forward to being here again soon. Thanks to all
the staff to make this a memorable experience for us.

Shreyas is fabulous! It
surpassed expectations - the setting is magical, everything is designed
with exquisite taste and attention to detail, and the staff are out of
this world, warm, caring, friendly, attentive and with such pride in their
work.
The Yoga sessions were wonderful, and the food and the table settings and aesthetics are breath taking.
We will tell all our friends and hope to come back – Thank you!

Shreyas, how should I describe
it? Awesome, serene, peaceful, and relaxing.
Shreyas is such an amazing complex. I particularly enjoyed the pool, the Yoga pavilion, and classes and the movie room. You guys have an amazing DVD set.
I would rate it a 5- star hotel. Awesome.

It has been such a tranquil
perfect few days. I loved the Yoga, it will be a problem to find such
good teachers when I get home! I even surprised myself and enjoyed the
chanting, it will have been a great gift for me if i am able to take it
back home as a relaxing tool! I loved my tented home. The staff are all
really excellent, I have never once been left wanting for anything. They
arrive and hand it to me before I realize I need it or more to point would
like it.
You need for nothing here. I will now not only take home
my Yoga experience, chanting but also your cuisine after my excellent
lesson by chef! I will be back.

Having spent 8 days being
very busy around South India and having uncomfortable nights on hard Indian
mattresses, to come here at Shreyas was heaven. It is the perfect place
to unwind and feel the stresses of normal life evaporate away. Even the
train did not disturb me! All the staff are excellent and so spoiling.
My body feels rather stiff but all in a good cause. It is a very special
place and I would really love to come back for longer next time.

Shreyas is magic, as there
is no better word to describe this place & the experience.
Everyday the staff at Shreyas creates 'magic' especially for you!
Whether it is creating a flower arrangement for your room or dinner table, giving you a special massage or body treatment to melt your stress away, preparing a delicious meal or a drink for you, setting up a wonderful and surprise location for your dinner – which you could only imagine in fairy tales…
I came to Shreyas in search of peace, relaxation and serenity on my birthday, and I cannot imagine a better place.
My best regards & big 'Thank You' to the creator of this little 'heaven' for all of us overworked, tired, run down & over stressed mortals on this earth.
'Thank you' to all the staff for bringing me back to life and making me feel so special!

Yet again, Shreyas delivers
the goods… excellent service, staff, rooms, food, grounds.
Attention to detail - that little extra thought that makes all the difference!
THANK YOU! The rice pudding was lovely.
The cot was perfect for our son Thomas.
We come back, again & again, staying longer & longer! We are sad to leave & look forward to seeing your welcoming smiles soon.

perfect for anyone needing to relax from the stresses of everyday life.
We have really enjoyed our stay. We savoured every morsel of food, which
was tasty and imaginative, and a change from home. The table setting were
delightful – ideas to copy (The perfect compliment!)
The pool, relaxing & the Yoga sessions helped bring you "back on track".

Shreyas is a stunning retreat
in beautiful grounds - it is comparable to any luxury resort with one
important difference - the staff. It is Shreyas’ staff who make
this place so special. From the moment you arrive at Shreyas to the time
you leave - every member of staff greets you with a smile. Every detail
of your stay is taken great care of. This is beyond any level of service
I have experienced any where. Special highlights for me were the tour
of the gardens with the Lead gardener, the waiters and chef who made meal
times so special and the trip to the orphanage.
All my thanks and best wishes to the Shreyas staff. I hope to return soon.

It has been a fantastic
getaway and a real period of calm and rejuvenation. The whole ambience
of the place, coupled with unparalleled service, make Shreyas one of most
special places in the world that we have visited as a family. The staff
and management have been truly special and it is their attitude, willingness
to really look after guests that makes this such a great place. We go
back, definite to come back many more times and fully invigorated, both
physically and mentally.

Like so many in this book
who were before me, I have found my time here to be both restorative and
transformational. While the world is filled with "resorts",
Shreyas offers what they cannot: a place of peace and compassion where
I have been able to slow down enough to experience my own breath and join
my heartbeat to the natural world. The food, the facilities, the teaching,
the staff are all beyond compare. It is good to know a magical place like
this exists in the world.
I will return... often.

"SHREYAS" is
a perfect yoga retreat. The place is very calm, peaceful & you are
perfectly in touch with nature, so closely. An excellent getaway from
the stressful lives in cities.
Feel so relaxed & in tune with my body & mind after the chanting & Yoga sessions.
Food is healthy & delicious, staff are very gracious & attentive – always ready to help in every way. Every little aspect is taken care of (from the beautiful arrangement of flowers, to the candle light dinner, turning around of slippers, every detail is given a thought. That's amazing. Not to forget the huge home theatre & bowling & swimming pool. Great service!!!
I wish I could stay longer so that I could get hold of some good books. Marvelous book collection!
Thank you for the memorable stay

Dear all at Shreyas,
I came here to get away from the hectic working life of Hong Kong, to take time out for myself doing Yoga and to try to learn more on meditation to gain a bit more clarity for daily life. But I can say that everything was more, much more than expected. The surrounding with nature, the many birds, watching the squirrels, listening to the breeze, the comfortable, “home” all made me feel at home and relaxed. The Yoga teachers are patient, I liked very much that all staff participated in the classes too. Food was delicious and prepared with love and care. Settings of the table was another joy for the eyes, what an abundance of flowers! But most of all it is all the staff at Shreyas, who make it perfect and special. One feels they do what they do with pride and enjoy doing it. I have travelled all my life to all corners of the globe, but what I experienced here with the people, was and is unique. I am sad to leave this place - back to harsh reality - but happy to know, that I can always come back for some time out – and for sure and will!
Thank you all very much.
Namaste,

India is my greatest love
– I visit often.
Yoga is my necessary master & I seek new ways for being in it.
Coming to visit Shreyas was an investigation personally & professionally. It has been a joy & exceeded all expectations!
An elegant & soothing oasis of peaceful calm (despite the trains). So intelligently & masterfully thought through & executed with memorable & admirable style of genuine service, genuine skill, and genuine hospitality. You allow a guest to be thoroughly nurtured.
A reason to come, many reason to stay, a million reasons to return. It is my greatest hope to do so personally & with my guests.
Thank you. Most heartfelt appreciation.
You are in India quite without parallel!

What a complete pleasure
the last 7 days have been – I came to "get away" and "just
'be" and I was so able to do that. What made it such a treat was
not only the incredible setting but the
staff. Rarely do you find yourself surrounded by so many people that show such pride in what they are doing. The ability to be attentive (& so attentive at that) yet incredibly unintrusive is a gift – and everyone here appears to have exactly that.
The introduction to Yoga – perfect.
The food; every single meal – divine.
The massages - heaven!
The accommodation – bliss.
Thank you so much for sharing a wee bit of your world with me. Without question I leave here wanting to tell the world what a complete treat Shreyas is - & I will!

We came with little expectations,
just looking for some yoga practice in a peaceful surrounding! Yet were
rewarded with so much more. The very moment we arrived at Shreyas, we
felt we had entered a small paradise. The beauty of the garden & buildings
fitted in handsomely, but most of all, the excellent staff make this place
unique. Always friendly, they were there when needed, but never intrusive.
We enjoyed the wonderful yoga classes and the soothing massages. The chanting, breathing and meditation session gave us a new direction.
At meal times we celebrated our senses. The table settings showed us beauty every time a different way, complimenting the delicious food.
We can not say what part of our stay we will miss most - it has to be the entire Shreyas experience. Thank you.

We leave Shreyas at peace
and content, less apprehensive of what awaits us in the world outside.
We were given during our stay, in an intelligent and subtle way, tools
that allow us to better comprehend not only what surrounds us but also
what and who we are – that is because each and every person at Shreyas
seems to be carrying in herself or himself, a spark of a certain vision,
and that spark manifests itself in the beauty of the grounds, in the loving
care of the garden, in the artistry of the table settings, especially
at dinner time, in the deceptively simple and elegant food, in the quality
of the teachings, in the touch of the therapists, in the unobtrusive caring
of the cleaning staff.
Thank you all for two wonderful weeks.

it's been a great 'rejuvenating' break, re-energizing me and getting me
back into Yoga. The service was excellent, the other guests were fun,
the classes for Yoga inspired me and I loved the Meditation. It was the
perfect break to recharge & refresh. Both peaceful and uplifting.
I'll be back for longer next time.

We
have just had the most fantastic & relaxing 15 day retreat at
Shreyas. The level of personal attention, the small scale resort
& fantastic surroundings & facilities are overwhelming.
Shreyas does justice to its name which means perfection & superiority.
We booked a 14 day Yoga retreat with
the aim of improving our beginner level Yoga practice and to take
time for self-reflection. Shreyas takes great care so that guests
achieve their personal goals. Group Yoga classes alternate with
1-on-1 Yoga instruction to improve learning. At the same time the
wide variety of Meditation options (Chanting, Yoga Nidra, Candle
Meditation etc.,) help one on the road to self-discovery & reflection.
We fully recommend Shreyas to anyone interested in a rejuvenating
experience in the most luxurious, caring & tranquil setting. My stay at Shreyas was a last
minute decision, and one that I am so happy I made. |

Thank you for another lovely
stay at Shreyas!
Every member of your team continues to meet and exceed expectations with meticulous attentions to details, cleanliness and service.
Fellow guests & staff are all gracious yet respectful of privacy; a perfect balance for what a yoga and wellness retreat should be. I have found something very special at Shreyas and will be drawn back, hopefully for yoga teacher training now in the planning stages. Please keep me informed.
A special thanks to Rucha for a personal candle meditation that moved me in a special way along my journey of learning meditation and Narayana who was especially attentive to any need & special request.

cooking methods. We will return! We leave feeling very rested! Thank you, Daisy and Beatrice Helman, India - June 2008 Spending more than 250 days in 5 star hotels around the world per year, my expectations were reserved about Shreyas. However, the past 6 days have been an unforgettable experience… excellent staff is what sets this place apart! If there was a rating, this would get beyond 5 stars because of the staff’s ability to foresee your needs before you realize you have them. Thanks for making my week a total hassle free experience, leaving me ready to conquer the world again. Jeanette (Ex- overstressed and overworked manager), Dubai – June 2008 Peaceful and quiet; a great escape with “the girls”. Even though we were only able to stay one night, we were able to relax, unwind and rejuvenate. Binny Kaur, Tonya Taschereau & Dianne Bertlot, US – June 2008 The setting is well complimented by the staff and the service. There is an attention to detail in both the physical setting as well the hospitality. We really enjoyed our short stay. Will highly recommended Shreyas. Thanks for a memorable stay.

to this, my second visit, for many months. It has excelled my expectations.
The food has been delicious, and served with such care and attention to detail. The yoga classes have strengthened me and I have particularly enjoyed the meditation and chanting classes. I have learned a lot on this visit.
Most of all I have experienced the beauty of the surroundings here and the wonderfully attentive staff who seem to be imbued with the spirit of the place, and in time have created a wonderful atmosphere here.
I came here searching for answers to many questions. Some have been answered and I have had extremely valuable guidance on the other more difficult ones.
My thanks to all who make Shreyas such a special place.

Shreyas is a slice of

You practice yoga genuinely, you pamper your guests so graciously, and you provide such a wide range of activities and service.
From the fresh flowers and petals so beautifully arranged everywhere to the discrete glasses of water awaiting us at every session, you have not spared a single detail. I feel honored to have shared such a beautiful spot with Sue, the other guest, and your family of staff who made us feel part of the Shreyas family.
I hope to visit again before returning to Canada and will recommend this gem to anyone looking for a quality yoga retreat.

The tents in particular are just lovely, nicely spaced apart for privacy. The semi-open bathrooms are sensational; it is a joy to look out over the freshly petals placed in the urns -from bougainvillea to marigold.
The food was first class. In particular, I feel a visit to the orphanage is a must - it would be nice to think that perhaps every guest may make a small contribution. Aren’t we so lucky in the West?
The yoga was a lifesaver & the candle meditation was both enlightening and beneficial, whilst the chanting was just excellent, and a great inclusion to the overall programme. The massages were first class. Thank you again to everyone. I wish you all a wonderful & busy year! I shall return!!
With very best wishes,

Each time I come to Bangalore
for business I opt to stay at Shreyas for the weekend. It’s a lovely

including Yoga classes and swimming pool are good. Meals are served three
times a day - light, healthy and just delicious. Great place for a vacation.

all was the beautiful candlelight dinner last night. A fitting treat for

am so very glad that I decided to come to Shreyas even just for
the weekend while on a working visit to Bangalore. Being here
& attending the yoga classes was as instructive as I had hoped
in renewing my commitment to my lapsing practice. But then I have
also experienced so much more; the quiet & peacefulness, the
thoughtful way the grounds have been laid out, my wonderful garden
cottage with open air bathroom, the deliciously healthy meals
with every attention being paid to my dieting requests, the beautiful
fresh flowers placed everywhere, the fantastic Ayurvedic massage
- my first. The staff are so gentle and attentive to all the little
details, and I really enjoyed the lovely humor of the chanting
teacher. I have lots to take away with me spiritually, and I hope to return one day soon to this beautiful place. Namaste Tulip Hambleton, London & New Zealand - May 2008 This was a very enjoyable & calming experience. I would recommend it warmly to friends & colleagues. Yitzhak Bandayan, May 2008 |

How perfect was it to rest here for while, before getting back to work frenzy. Yoga classes, massages were excellent and I will definitely go back to my yoga in Paris. Food was perfect, but above all the quality and friendliness of all staff & people here make it special.
Wish I will come back once.
Corrine Cavaline, France - May 2008
The accommodation, staff and facilities all exceeded expectations, which made the weekend even more relaxing and stress free. The staff was truly superb, did not intrude or were not intrusive to our privacy – they were extremely attentive but not overbearing, which was perfect. All ways very responsive, we traveled with a baby and they were always willing to accommodate her in every way.
The meals were all very delicious, healthy and the quality & quantity were excellent. Fantastic choice for a relaxing & reenergizing few days; would highly recommended Shreyas and would love to stay here again.
Thank you,
Hayley & Bryon, India - May 2008

Shreyas is a place that
rejuvenates mind and body with peace, feels like a piece of paradise with
no pollution. Surely gives the highest comfort, keeping nature in mind
“Shreyas” truly makes the guests enjoy the ambience. A big
thank you to all the staff who add to make the stay a memorable one, with
full of surprises.

My body, tattooed by both mosquito & bug bites, with a stiff neck & upper body from sleeping on brick hard mattresses & equally hard pillows, was in desperate need of some TLC – Shreyas style.
Generously received with warm smiles I was ushered to my accommodation beside the pool – wonderful – within moments I tumbled into a soft bed surrounded by clouds of soft white pillows & duvet to caress the aches & pains of my two month adventure.
The sheer unadulterated luxury at Shreyas was a wonderful way to close my first visit to India. May I thank you all for your warmth and grace.
Blessing to you all & my love to you all.

I don’t know where
to begin, but thank you.
Every element of my stay has been exceptional in every way. The ambience at Shreyas is difficult to describe in words but beauty & peace come to mind.
The staff who are, help make the ambience are truly beautiful people & thank you again for making my stay so perfect. The classes have helped expand me and are another step in my learning.
The food is wonderful & I am looking forward to my cooking class today. The setting for the meals is simple but always exquisite. Thank you for taking us to the local school and sharing the faces & smiles of the children. I look forward to seeing again on my return which I will make sure is soon.

Words cannot truly convey
what a magical experience ‘Shreyas’ is. Coming from London,
tired and stressed, I feel now fully recharged both physically & mentally
and with a strong desire to want to continue along my own spiritual path.
Attention to detail’, defines to whole Shreyas ethos, in my opinion. From the beautifully laid tables, to the exquisite food (provided by the wonderfully charismatic chef) and the expertly taught yoga classes.
However, what makes this retreat truly special is the staff themselves. Never before have I experienced such loving, attentive and caring service, it elevates the whole experience from one that is pure ‘luxury’ to a whole different level in the realms of the spiritual & sacred.
I thank you all so much and hope to see you in the very near future.

trains!
I have learnt so much and hope to come back soon! Much love to you all.

Having been here 1-½
days as part of a 19-day tour of Southern India I wish we could have stayed
longer to properly benefit from the peace and calm, healthy fresh and
delicious food and serene, interesting and beautiful surroundings! The
staff was charming, respectful, polite, patient and helpful at all times.
We never felt hurried or pressurized as in our daily life in the UK and
for the me it was so relaxing not to have the constant interruptions of
telephone, daily demands and challenges, and noisy, screaming demanding
grand children (adored also!).
The food is exquisite, tempting, tasty but not filling.
Wonderful library of interesting books - & no time to indulge - I
shall go back to U.K. & revive Yoga exercises, try to keep in touch
with my inner self, remembering that life need not be so frenetic to be
fulfilling and I hope to return for a longer stay.
Mary Robinson, UK - February 2008
We came to Shreyas "out
of the blue" as it was part of a tour by a "tailor - made"
tour operator. We were completely hooked within minutes of our arrival
at 1:30am. The place and tranquility (except for the trains!) are amazing.
The attitude of the staff is a major contributor to the ambience. Their
politeness, perfect manners and quiet efficiency is remarkable.
We are only here for a day and a half but we clearly
hope to return.
Anthony Robinson - February 2008
I came to Shreyas following
the breakup of a 14 year relationship and a strong need to “find
myself”. From the moment I arrived I have felt at peace with my
self for the first time in years. More importantly I have started to “feel”
again after so long on an emotional shut down.
The whole experience here has been wonderful. The atmosphere, the people, the food and the lack of personal demand. Every one is kind and considerate, particularly the catering team, who will do anything for you with a smile. For me, a beginner at yoga it has been amazing. I did not realize what could be achieved through the practice.
I know I will be back again sometime soon and who knows, I might make it an annual event. Shreyas is not golden bullet and I know it won’t fix everything for me but I now know that I can go back with some fantastic tools to move on in my life.
This is the starting point for becoming the person I want to be.
With love and light,
Thank you so much

Shreyas is place of self
discovery & it’s something that we have been definitely been
doing here. The staff here have taught us so many wonderful things &
imparted their wisdom which has been so precious to us. Our stay at Shreyas
has truly been wonderful – the care taken over the food, massages
& instruction in classes has been incredible. We can’t thank
you enough for arranging the trip to the Art of Living & also going
out of your way to obtain the medication that my mother so needed sending
a driver out at 11:30 pm is beyond exceptional service. We’ll take
many things away from here - peaceful minds, rejuvenation & serenity.
Thank you for everything you have taught us. With Love,

Exquisite, is how I would
describe Shreyas. Everything here is so well thought out and adapted for
a really chilled out retreat to reenergize yourself. What to me sets it
apart from other places is the attention to detail, from the flowers on
my bed to the statue in the garden, the taps in the shower of the massage
room etc.
The staff could not have been more kind, helpful and efficient. Their over all attitude made you feel so comfortable and at ease.
I have no complaints or negative comments to make; I only wish I was
here for longer because even after such a relaxing short stay I feel
renewed.
Sonal Amin, U.K - February 2008

From a backpacking tour
in New Zealand to be faced by this consummate luxury was an awesome experience.
One that took a little adjusting too. The garland welcome, the delicious
meal laid out in artistic and candlelit fairytale style amongst the many
palm trees listening to the echoing song of the birds and then ushered
by candlelit to a sumptuous bed was to be to followed by six more days
punctuated with extremely well taught and informative yoga classes, glorious
mid morning chanting, a daily massage of ones choice with vast quantities
of superb food.
No sooner had I settled down into this glorious haven that it was time to board the midnight train to Mysore and resume my backpacking tour throughout the south of India - healthily prepared, relaxed and ready for the next episode. To be sent on my journey with care from all here at Shreyas, may I say thank you so very much.
May I offer to you all, my sincerest blessings and look forward to returning at the end of my tour in March secure in the knowledge your haven will be here to welcome all with garlands of flowers, care, and everything that everyone could ever wish for.
With Love

Your care for each individuals needs is admirable. The ambience is great. The whole here crystallizing of separate constitutions, each appealing to a certain sense is a treat for the body, mind and soul. I hope you continue to maintain these standards always.

Shreyas is such a magical
place and I have had a truly amazing experience here. The yoga, chanting
and meditation were wonderful and I hope to put into practice all I have
learned. The food has been superb and I can't wait to get the Shreyas
recipe book when it is released. I have enjoyed evening walks in the gardens,
especially watching the sunset from the "chill out hut."
The kind and attentive manner of all the staff is what
makes Shreyas such a special place. I was treated like a princess throughout
my stay which was lovely. So much thought, love and care goes into everything.
Especially impressive were the beautiful table settings and different
locations for meals as well as the gorgeous ever- changing flower arrangements
in the rooms. Huge thanks to everyone at Shreyas for their efforts, I
wish I could stay forever in this heaven of place and tranquility.
Helen Nuttall, Australia - January 2008
We think that we've had
the most relaxed time ever on a holiday. Every member of staff is genuinely
kind and helpful. The chef is a genius - the food is absolutely wonderful.
We loved taking lunch to a local school & meeting the well-behaved children.
We learn a lot about breathing properly, + increased our flexibility in the yoga classes. The massages were first class+ the doctor very helpful.
Watching the sun go down from the garden was heavenly- it’s truly paradise there.
Many thanks.

It's been the second time
we have been here and it represents for us the best escape out of the
busy Bangalore.
The food: presentation + service were excellent as last time. The birthday chocolate cake for my husband a lovely surprise for him; thank you.
Unfortunately there was some very loud Indian music at around 3am in the morning! This was very annoying. So I'm hoping for a more positive experience next time.

May I thank you all for
the very loveliest of times. A guest here can expect to have all their
needs met, if not anticipated - mine certainly were - from the very first
moment all the senses are satisfied - the taste of the food, the creative
table-settings, the smell and the sight of the fresh flowers in the bathroom,
daily. A guest can learn a lot here, too. The teaching is thoughtful and
individually framed. I particularly appreciate the help with the yoga
and chanting. I hope very much to come back to meander in the beautiful
gardens again. So, many thanks to every single person in Shreyas.
Very best wishes and love.

I been introduced to a wonderful array of flavors but I have been part
of a warm generous community of people. The staff have been amazing. Words
fall short of how much they themselves create the very essence of Shreyas.
I have also been introduced to a healthier, more dedicated way of living
for which I am happier and inspired.
Thank you all - I hope to be back for a longer stay with you all next time.

I was completely worn out physically and emotionally when I came here. I’m leaving after only 1 week feeling totally refreshed again physically, emotionally, spiritually and ready eager to face and live life again.
Krishna’s Chakra cleansing meditation brought incredible clarity for me and instantly lifted all the weight and confusion I’ve been carrying.
The facilities are beautiful, very thoughtful and tasteful, but it is the staff who make the place.
Shreyas truly is the place for a journey of self-discovery.

- Thank you!
I’ve been dreaming of coming here since I booked my holidays back in October and the week I have spent here has been even better than I ever dreamt it would be. Shreyas is a tranquil oasis in which I have felt able to be myself and be on my own but at the same time feel truly looked after by all the wonderful people who work here. I’ve met some wonderful people and had some really great laughs too, which has been a fantastic bonus that I didn’t really expect.
More than anything Shreyas has given me the courage and strength to make the exciting changes to my life that I have been thinking about.
Shreyas is different from anywhere I’ve ever been and I intend to take some of that back with me so I can make a difference!
Thank you,

The kindness and generosity of spirit of all who live and work here is truly amazing. Thank you for providing such a unique and special space in this world. A safe space in which I have felt free to be me and in which I have dared to believe in my dreams again.
I’m already looking forward to my next visit…

I love the calming aroma of flowers on arrival.
I love the gentle smiles with everyday greetings.
I love the “happy tone” that is played in the kitchen allowing tastes to dance on my tongue.
I love how staffs effortlessly appear to spring from behind the trees to greet you and escort you to an activity or offer assistance.
I was honored to connect with the community and proud to plant seeds in the garden.
I was delighted every time my slippers had been turned in the direction I needed to go next,
But not today because they are pointing away.
With love + gratitude to everyone at Shreyas

To Shreyas
We arrived on Xmas day from Hassan (3 hrs away) as a part of South India travels. Shreyas has been the best of experiences - the Yoga, the staff and the environment.
We were linked up with nature and our health has much improved.
There’s nothing to fault but ask you - Maintain the beauty and integrity. We will return!
Thank You very much- Namaste.

Thank you for restoring
us to the state of health of children- wonderful! The Yoga has been fantastic
with such patient & charming teachers. The food amazing – who
could have thought vegetables could taste so good in so many different
& wonderful ways.
Our eyes are sparkling & our spirit lifted – nourished by the beautiful & spirit-enhancing garden - a work of art.
Thanks to all the staff for their constant smiling helpfulness and delightful way of making nothing feel too much trouble.
Thanks especially to our host on our Bangalore trip.

Thank you to all the staff
who very kindly looked after me when I arrived with flu. Everything was
willingly done with a smile, a Namaste and a you’re welcome. I learned
many things on the retreat and will hopefully be back to learn more when
I have put these learnings into practice. The chanting was wonderful,
the food delicious, the massages relaxing and the gardens full of incredible
bird and animal noises.

WHAT CAN WE SAY…
9 days of bliss, everything about Shreyas exudes care, kindness, warmth,
and professionalism.
We felt as if we entered a land where we have been treated like princesses, all our wishes were fulfilled in every way.
We really enjoyed the intimacy of the small number of guests, which allowed the balance of interaction and personal space.
We would like to thank you for the wonderful vegetarian food, cooked by the master chef with true love and affection.
Never have we come across such warm, giving, kind staff and how refreshing to be greeted with such generous, sincere smiles.
We are so grateful that we have been allowed this magical experience to aid us on our life’s journey.
Thank you so much, with love and kindness,

With the teachings of Yoga one can learn great inner peace. What a wonderful setting to start that journey.

I came here with no expectations
at all except to find some quiet. In addition to the quiet I was looking
for, I have gained a great deal more. I may have reached the beginning
of the journey to find myself.
The surroundings are beautiful, the effect very calming and the people who run the place are very genuine. Nothing is too much trouble for them. And the food – WOW – exquisite.
I will definitely be coming back.

A very beautiful, calm
experience. Took away the stresses. As soon as I entered the place, it
was the serene atmosphere and the happy and helpful staff that made me
feel I had made the right choice. The doctor was very helpful so also
the Yoga teacher, the massage relaxing and the food exquisite. Thank you
all for the experience.
God bless each one of you and your families.

It is very beautiful. I feel very sad to leave Shreyas. We had a wonderful

soon. I really enjoyed this trip. Service is excellent. Food is excellent.
Yoga is excellent. And all things are good. No one can compare to Shreyas.

I have never been to such
an authentic, nurturing and caring environment. Every member of staff
embodies the Shreyas philosophy. Nothing is too much and it is already
beyond expectation.
The food and ‘Mr. Chef’ are fantastic. Our additional cooking class was provided with such warmth and hospitality.
The visit to the school was very moving and memorable. How can you forget all those lovely faces beaming up at you!
The yoga classes were challenging, relaxing and rewarding. I will be adding daily chanting to my routine at home as I have finally seen the real benefits from that. Thank you to everyone for making my week so wonderful.
I will be back!

What can I say that has
not already been said -- I read through some of the other comments. I
agree... from the moment I stepped in, my expectations of myself and others
rose. I expected more kindness of myself because of the way I was received
and treated by the wonderful staff. I expected more beauty in my life
because of the way the dinner served, with flowers strewn over a crisp
white table cloth and candles paying homage to the delicacy and health
of the food served. the tenderness and caring shown to me throughout,
I will treasure. I want to bring my kids here to experience it and I want
to be there for them too, the way you have been here for me - during an
exceptionally busy and stress ridden time in my life. I will be back.

This was my second visit to Shreyas and although I knew that I would enjoy it tremendously, I felt a little apprehensive as I had such fantastic memories. This time was just as perfect as my first visit. Although this was not a spiritual retreat like in January, I feel that I learned a lot about techniques and I am starting to grasp some of the meanings between all these marvelous words that always brings so much peace. To all a big thank you, with special thanks to Santosh & Ramakant for being always there when I needed them and Dr. Sukumar for having me try headstands (!) on top of providing numerous advises and Krishna Prakash for giving me some tools to meditate. This list would not be complete, of course, without
mentioning Shankarji whose wisdom will, I hope, help me in the following
months before my return. |
Thank you for your warmth
and kindness. I truly needed an escape to paradise and you provided exactly
what I was looking for. It is important that I take back the gifts you
have provided and include them in my everyday life. There was a lot for
me to learn about myself, yoga and simply peace and you provided a great
foundation and excellent teachers. Most importantly all of you were amazing!
One special thanks to the chef in the kitchen, I can't want to go home
and cook all the dishes that you taught me to make. I wish all of you
a lifetime of happiness and look forward to seeing you again one day.
All the best

| Thank you all so, so much for making my stay relaxing
and extremely comfortable and also for teaching me all the fantastic
things I have learned about yoga and meditation. I arrived full of stress (I could hardly move my neck and shoulders) and am reluctantly leaving, feeling very relaxed and flexible. The food has been fantastic as has the service and I would recommended Shreyas to anyone in need of a complete rest and detox from their everyday life. Thanks so much Natalie, UK - November 2007 |
