Blog featuring guest experiences at Shreyas

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
Beth & Jeff, USA - January 2010

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.
Best wishes,
Alexandra Long more, UK - January 2010

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!
The staff was just so caring & attentive making the whole place have a wonderful atmosphere.
What a very special sanctuary you have created.
Samantha Burton, UK - January 2010

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 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
Emma Campbell , Dubai - January 2010

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!
Melissa Rancourt, Belgium / U.S.A. - January 2010
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!
Greet Daniels, Belgium. - January 2010
We did not know what we were coming to when we actually arrived. But on arrival the moods changed. The serenity here made you to think about the simplicity in lives. The people here made the visit effortless for us - it was good to be here and would be better to be back.
Mayank Dalhia, Bangalore – January 2010
We had a very brief stay, just one night, my friend 2, but in this time it was clear just how specially this place truly is!
Notably;
• Tranquil
• Peaceful
• Meditative
• Restorative
• Fantastic Meditation & Yoga teachers with a great level of advanced wisdom.
• Lovely therapists
• Very healthy, clean food!
• Wonderful attention to detail & service

We are so pleased we came and look forward to our return!
Tanya & Jade Davis, United Kingdom – January 2010
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.
We enjoyed the Yoga (a little more practice perhaps before returning), the massage and the treatments. We would like to congratulate everyone involved in making our short stay such an exceptional experience!

See you all again – hopefully!
Marian & Peter, Ireland – January 2010
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.
Simon & Joanna Binder, UK – January 2010
Thank you so much for a wonderful relaxing time! I have never encountered such friendly, warm and caring staff and the attention to detail here is amazing!! I’m sorry to leave but hope to come back sometime. Happy New Year to all.
Zoe Hannam, UK– January 2010
client feedback - Shreyas Yoga Retreat
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!
Sally Coonan, USA - January 2010
Thank you for opening a new door. Something was changed in our approach towards life and we will continue this beautiful journey to self–discovery back at home. A marvelous experience that we would love to repeat. Thank you for all your kindness, generosity, attention, and patience.
Great staff & amazing environment!
Thank you,
Richard & Mireia, United Kingdom - January 2010
On this my 4th trip to Shreyas was like coming home to a loving caring family. It was a great end to 2009 and the New Year’s eve gathering with friends was a wonderful start to the New Year. Thank you all for a wonderful relaxing break.
Natalie Francis, Oman - January 2010
Shreyas was the starting point for a trip to India my mom & I have dreamt of taking together.
Forever I can’t imagine a better place to begin, and will carry the kindness I have encountered here along with me wherever we go. A magical beginning to 2010. Thank you
Emily & Jo Haines, Canada - January 2010
Thank you so much for an unforgettable time in this wonderful place. We have not been anywhere so beautiful, peaceful and caring before. The attention to detail and the staff were amazing. We are sad to be leaving, and want to come back for longer next time. Thanks for making this so special for us. Keep up the good work!
Anne & Mike, United Kingdom - January 2010
Thank you for a lovely stay. KARAOKE WAS FANTASTIC!
Kavita, Sujit , Tanya & Mallika, India - January 2010
Shreyas is excellent indeed!
Thank you all, you’re been wonderful. All the best.
Sascha Ladenius, Netherlands - January 2010
I am thrilled to be back @ Shreyas. A lovely way to start the year. Great to see the Shreyas family and all my wonderful friends. It brings out the best in all of us and rejuvenates us with love & joy to last a long time.
Anoop Singh, India - January 2010
Shreyas is a beautiful, intimate place of calm and tranquility. It gives me a chance to relax, and rejuvenate body, mind and soul. Its charm is what makes it second to none and the train has just added to it! The hidden places to relax in the garden are magical and the birds amazing! I can’t wait to come back!
All the best
Kavita Verma, United Kindom - January 2010
This is my second time at Shreyas, and I will definitely be back. I originally come here for the asanas but have grown very interested in the mantras and spiritual part a well. The staff is this most caring and professional. It is a wonderful way to start the year invigorated and full of positive energy!
With Love,
Jose Fraga, Spain - January 2010
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!
With Love,
Miti & Mehul Shah, United Kingdom - December 2009
There is nothing that I can say that hasn’t already been said!
Lana, United Kingdom - December 2009
A wonderful place to come and unwind; to forget yourself, but find yourself more. Thank you for deepening our practice and for the staff’s extraordinary kindness.
A great beginning to our new life!
With Thanks
Rohan and Cecelia, India / France - December 2009
Thank you once again for a lovely stay. We really appreciated all the little things that made a big difference.
David, Carol & Thomas Legrand, India - December 2009
We would have loved to spend more time here! The staff is great, the food absolutely delicious, the Yoga courses perfect. Thank you so much for your hospitality.
Francoise & Paul Kennes, Horizons Nouveaux, Switzerland  - December 2009

This is my family’s 2nd visit to Shreyas.  It has been a very relaxing & enjoyable stay and look forward to our holiday break again.
The staff is ever so courteous and their attention to the smallest details is really commendable.
Thank you
Saket Churiwalla, India - December 2009

I felt comfortable!  I enjoyed playing cricket & swimming.  The food was just ok for kids like us though the ice cream was great.
Shlok, India - December 2009

I loved everything about this place.  The ambience, atmosphere is great. The icing on the cake is the service – world class & outstanding.
Priti Churiwalla, India - December 2009

My third visit to Shreyas. I felt as if I was meeting old friends. A big thank you to every one of you - teachers, gardeners, cooks, serving staff, masseuses and all the others who’s love & attention has made this once again such a special 10 days.
Carolyn Gillies, Scotland - December 2009

Shreyas, over the past seven days, has made us welcome. Nothing was left unattended to. All here in the Shreyas family genuinely care about their guest. And there is an impeccable attention to detail. It is a gem of a place. If you were a seed planted in the soil you would choose to grow here…
Jonathan & Natalie Silver, United Kingdom - December 2009
Thank you everyone here at Shreyas for making this 7 days wonderful addition to my journey of self discovery and a deeper look at Yoga and Ayurveda and how I can incorporate elements in day today life. Every detail is so considerate and everyone working here goes out of their way
to make every second extra special. I will be back.
Thank you so much.
Stacey Mills, Oman - December 2009

Thank you to all of you here at Shreyas for giving me a very special week of nurturing, and for helping me immensely on the journey of life. The peace of mind of each member of staff, the attention to every small detail and the personal and private care given to me ensures that Shreyas truly stands out in a class of its own. A huge thank you to the chef and all his helpers for the most delicious food. I hope that I am able to come back here regularly and look forward to seeing you all again.
Thank you
Melodie Grose, Dubai - December 2009

Thank you for a fantastic time. A place is only as good as the people working there and this is outstanding. The attention to detail, the friendliness and the desire to give every guest the very best experience – fantastic. Looking forward to coming back!
Eva Hagman, Switzerland - December 2009
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!
Gayathri & Pankaj, Bangalore - December 2009
I’ve been living in Bangalore city for a couple of months now, so it was great to be able to escape to this oasis for three days to relax and get refreshed. It was an absolutely wonderful experience, and I’d definitely love to come back. I’m going to miss the trees and the grass when I leave, and the fact that my shoes won’t be turned around when I walk into a room!!
Thanks a lot!
Jenny Hagman, Switzerland - December 2009
After a really long time I took some time off by myself and I am so glad I chose to come to Shreyas. The place is just what one needs to relax, rest & recuperate... The quiet and peaceful atmosphere lets you contemplate & get back in touch with your inner self...
 Kamala Nagananda, Bangalore - November 2009

Shreyas was the most perfect ending to our most incredible journey in India.The setting, the gardens, the food, and the staff made this a simply elegant experience.
We thank you all!
Beth & Steve Varon, USA - November 2009

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.
Aarti Choksi, India - November 2009
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
Jane, United Kingdom, November 2009
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.
With love,
Anna-Louise Clegg, United Kingdom - November 2009

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.
Ruth & Eric, United Kingdom - November 2009

This was my second visit to Shreyas and it has been good to find that nothing much has changed. Wonderful food, fabulous table settings, relaxing massages, great Yoga, exhilarating chanting and above all - the wonderful staff who bring everything together.
Thank you
Anne Sieber, United Kingdom - October 2009

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.
Julia Finch, United Kingdom - October 2009
I’ve never been to such a wonderful place! There is no segregation, no anger, only peace….
Thank you for everything @ Shreyas!!
Inako Toki, Japan - October 2009
My second stay is even more wonderful. This is such a special place, offering the most unique combination of things - peace & rest, stretching & eating, Yoga & walking, massages & chanting and so much more. The care that everyone gives to everything at Shreyas is unique & I feel very very lucky to have been here.
Thank you, thank you & I hope I shall be back before too long.
Elizabeth Mayfield, United Kingdom - October 2009
Thank you so much for an amazing experience! I feel totally rejuvenated and ready to face new challenges! The staff is absolutely amazing - very attentive & efficient. The food, atmosphere, spa and classes - all make this a very special place that I hope to return to very soon! You have created a very special place, my new spiritual home!
Patricia Gabay, Sri Lanka - October 2009

What a wonderful way to end our India journey! Everything was perfection - the food, the Yoga, the accommodations and the staff was very warm and welcoming. Thank you
Melinda Buhl & Richard Koven, USA - October 2009

Such a wonderful, peaceful, soul nourishing experience. Thank you so very much. Namaste
Rebecca Ferrini, India - October 2009
Enjoyed our stay thoroughly beautiful serene surroundings. The perfect gateway to rejuvenate the mind, body and soul. Very courteous staff.
Nina Mukherji, India - October 2009
To all at Shreyas,
Now I wonder why we took a whole year to comeback here! It has been a most refreshing and rejuvenating time for us. My parents have also enjoyed it immensely and said it was heaven on earth! Many thanks again for the wonderfully caring staff and personal attention to every detail.
Our next visit will be very soon. With love,
Abhik Mitra & family, India - October 2009
Why haven’t we discovered you earlier? This was a magical experience in every way. I feel quite inspired to carry on with the yoga and will miss the wonderful massages, and the delicious food. What a special team you have put together to make this such a special place. We will certainly be back. Many thanks
Nick & Sarah Allan, United Kingdom - October 2009

Shreyas! What a fabulous find- calm, serene surroundings, warm and attentive staff. Everything was pure bliss.Thank you for a little piece of heaven on earth.
Sincerely
Paula & Michael Pappas, U.S.A. - October 2009
Shreyas Yoga Retreat, India

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.
Many thanks
Kirsten Parker, United Kingdom - October 2009

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
Penny Raggett, United Kingdom - October 2009
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.
With love
Divya & Siddartha, India - October 2009
We have enjoyed our stay here very much. We are very sorry that we had to leave early, but we are really looking forward to coming back. The staff & the environment is very welcoming.
Thank you for all the peace & tranquility.
Kind regards
Emma & Kelly Salteri, Australia - October 2009
Shreyas is a very special place. I don't think I've ever stayed anywhere where the service has been so warm and personalized - staying here has felt like being part of a family.I very much hope I can come back some day soon.
Justine Cullen, Australia - October 2009
‘Excellent' in every aspect and sincere in every thing that we expected!  From the facility to the employees, everything was just fine. 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!
Jyothi Jayanth, Bangalore - October 2009

Coming back to Shreyas was as expected... BLISS! Perfect place to rejuvenate. Excellent, warm service & attention just added to the whole experience.
Thank You
Vinay Saraogi, India - October 2009

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.
Josefin Elfver, United Kingdom - September 2009
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.
Arun, Jhara, Krishnamoorthy, Ganga, Geetha & Abhinaya, India - September 2009
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!
Namaste
Wendy and Margaret, Netherlands - September 2009

So beautiful, each day and night. The massages are a real treat after Yoga and the technicians are some of the best I have ever had.
Thanks for everything Shreyas. I hope to be back.
Alison Marioni, USA - September 2009

This has been a wonderful stay. It is so nice to have a beautiful oasis in the middle of Bangalore for expats to escape to!
Thank you!
Mia Hanson, India - September 2009
Thank you to all the staff at Shreyas for a truly memorable stay!
“Om Shanti”
Rosemarie Cullinan, Australia - September 2009

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!
Laura Brancato, USA - August 2009
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.
Pamela Jack, Australia - August 2009
Impeccable service, smiling faces and a place where time stands still. This is my 5th visit and everything is just as my 1st visit. Consistency is very hard to achieve – Bravo!
Already planning the next visit!
Meera Medana, India - August 2009
Thank you so much for a PERFECT 24-hours retreat. I was overwhelmed by the beauty + fantastic service. Shreyas has a unique charm – everything is to absolute perfection - not a thing needs to be changed!
Thank you
Vandita Ralhan, UK - August 2009
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.
Julie Beecher, UK - August 2009

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
It’s a magical place and everything is just perfect. The people working here are so nice and welcoming. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is calm. Thanks to all of you.
Murielle Lincoln, Mauritius - 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.
With love, John Sewell, USA - August 2009
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!!”
Gary Vidor, Australia - July 2009

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!
Carol, David + Thomas Legrand - July 2009

Had a wonderful experience here at SHREYAS, living up to the expectations we had in our mind. Felt very homely, loved all the meals here, healthy, tasty, hygienic. Massages were good too, so were the staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the home theater last night. Sunil & me are looking forward for more weekend stays here at least once in 2 months.
Thank you all.
Shradha & Sunil Sipani, India - July 2009
Everyone at Shreyas is wonderful. I felt like I was relieved of a whole year’s worth of stress in just 5 days! Loved everything, the food, the ambience, the spa treatments, the people
& last but not least the Yoga! I will remember + appreciate this place for the rest of my life.
Jillian Bauer, USA - July 2009

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,
Ms. Tan Liting, Singapore - July 2009

The Cricket, Swimming, Yoga & Massages were excellent and fully relaxing and a beautiful break from Bangalore traffic & hectic life.
Barbara, Marie & Isla, India - July 2009

Tasty meals, beautiful surroundings, kind and thoughtful staff and great Yoga - I can’t think of a better way to spend 3 days and rejuvenate the body and soul. A very special place that I look forward to returning to in the future. Thank you to looking after me so well.
Katherine Madden, Switzerland - July 2009

This is a very wonderful place where we relaxed. And we would like to come back soon.
Girish & Tripti, India - June 2009
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.
Warmest regards
Mythili Devineni (India/ /USA) and on behalf of my mom [who echoes many of the some sentiments] Jayasree, India - June 2009
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.
The Sadananda family, India - June 2009
PS: We especially loved the Food & Yoga sessions.
We had said we would be back – and here we are!! This is truly an amazing place with a wonderful set of people working here to keep this place the way it is. Each and every detail is so well thought of – it’s just incredible! The cottages – specially the bathrooms are so, so lovely! Food is amazing – one looks forward to every meal! The table settings, the night dinner is just superb!! Yoga sessions are also great and it’s done just at the right pace so that by the end of it you are so relaxed!! Everything here is simply superb!! And we shall be back again!! Thanks for it all!!!
Love
Nisha & Manish Mehta, India - June 2009
@ 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.
Jayasree Devineni, India - June 2009
A huge thank you to have the doors open to your paradise. An extraordinary oasis of serenity, beauty and calm. The staff attentive and friendly. As if by magic, it was enough to cross the gate to be at peace and quiet. All seem to share the extraordinary spirit that prevailed at Shreyas - residents, and employees alike. Thank you for this space - out of the frenzy of everyday contingencies of life.
In the hope to return one day
Marianne, Brusells, Belgium - June 2009
So glad I found this amazing place. As soon as the gates opened I know I was at the right place.
The accommodations, classes, treatments and food combine to give guests a complete physical and mental retreat from Stresses of everyday life. Thanks to all the staff for their kindness and assistance. Even though my stay was too short, this place is memorable and I hope to return soon.
Barbara Fabbri, USA - June 2009
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!!
Suraj Salhotra + Aleksandra, UK- June 2009
When I arrived I didn’t know what to expect. I only hoped for some peace and quiet. What I found 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.
Thank you,
Wanda Bieloszabski, USA - May 2009
For the 2nd time, you have given us happiness and relaxing time. We were so happy to come back – (First time Oct -2007). Your place is absolutely the spot we needed at this particular time.
Very good Yoga classes.
Jogging all around the site.
Weather…! Perfect. Excellent massage.
“Raffinement" is the French word that comes to my mind.
Frangipani smells = peaceful. Silence, fresh air and beauty are everywhere! I am very delighted to know your place. I’ll keep in my mind, soul & body forever!
Virginie & Emma, France (Lille), Presently living at Bangalore – May 2009
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.

Thank you,
Hussam Al Rawahy, Oman - May 2009
"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.
Agnes & Jean Mathieu, Paris - London - Beijing - May 2009
Shreyas is such a beautiful place that it is hard to believe that I live so close by. I feel like 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.
Rani Jeyaraj, Bangalore, India - May 2009
Shreyas resort exceeded my expectation on every way! This serene spot has recharged my tired body & soul leaving me refreshed and revitalized. Many thanks to everyone at Shreyas for a wonderful stay. Everything is thought about in careful, considerate and unobtrusive way. Perfect.
Claire Laycock, UK - May 2009
It was a big pleasure to visit you again. Thanks for maintaining this wonderful place at such a high level standard even during hard economic times. Wish you, the whole community, health, prosperity and success in your unique and so important endeavor.
Asher Sterkin, Israel - April 2009
A huge thank you to you all for helping to make my Second visit to Shreyas just as magical as my first. This time I have been fortunate to stay a full two weeks so feel I am leaving completely refreshed and re-vitalized. An injury has meant no Yoga for 18 months but with the Doctor’s and Bharat’s special care I feel as good as new again.
This is truly special place - a real garden of eden with no forbidden fruits. I can’t wait to return again soon.
Love to you all,
Barbara Watt, UK - April 2009
A truly exceptional experience and place to be. A big thank you! You have been wonderful in treating me so well and with so much personal attention. Everyone of you has made this place very special and unforgettable.
Willemijn Zaadnoordijk, Switzerland - April 2009
My second visit to Shreyas and still as wonderful as I first remember. Staff, food, atmosphere all incredibly beautiful & relaxing – recharged my batteries, ready to face reality!
Sheel Patel, UK - April 2009
This is my first visit to Shreyas and it has truly been a journey of discovery. It offers all that one is in search of far away from the madding crowd chaos we live in ... peace, tranquility, care, joy of being close to nature, finding one's self & knowledge of spirituality, Mantras, Yoga, Pranayama, eating pure vegetarian food & loving it. Know thyself & discover a whole new world. A big thank you to all the staff of Shreyas who make Shreyas special. I came here with my 2 daughters Aishwarya 9 years, Surrthi 7 years, My 18 months old son Kriish and the staff organized everything from the cot to baby food, the kids loved it!! "Shukriya"
Mandini Pyreeandee, Mauritius - April 2009
Our stay lasted only 15 hours - it should have been 15 days! We had a wonderful time, thanks for your hospitality - we captured the best of Shreyas on tape, so we won't be able to forget how beautiful this place is!

A wonderful place to relax the mind & body, and unwind from the stressful living of the outside world. A true gem!
Page Bingham & Daisy Helman, USA - April 2009
I have had a wonderful stay this past two weeks. It's all been a wonderful, interesting and memorable experience. It has all the spirituality of an Ashram, the comfort, amenities, and fabulous food of a resort/ Spa and the surroundings of a well run ranch. That is an amazing and impressive combination and I feel grateful to have been here. Everyone was kind, helpful and willing to do whatever they could to make happy and comfortable. Who could ask more?
Gwen Grabb, USA - April 2009
A beautiful, luxuriously unpretentious retreat! A special thank you to Rucha, her advice and guidance that I shall take with me. The staff are so attentive in their gentle way. The dinner settings are just beautiful, not to mention the fabulous food. My soul is replenished!! Thank you so much
Judith Bingley-Pullin - April 2009
Loved it, loved It, loved It! Thank you to the staff who were welcoming, warm and took care of every need. The gardens are amazing and the food wonderful. I cannot wait until I can come back again. Thank you so much!
Laurie Schlosser, USA - April 2009
Shreyas has been wickedly awesome and I love the pool and movie room and the gym + ball machine, Shreyas is awesome and to prove it we came back and if you're looking for a relaxing place just come to Shreyas. The awesome set-up and the food is so good I wish the chef was our cook. Shreyas is awesome and I bet I'll come back, it is awesome!! And nice just come to Shreyas!! It is awesome even the beds are comfortable and the bathroom's are clean and nice you put the candles in nice places and they look nice!!
Kiran, age 7 (2ndI visit) - April 2009
Rock on Shreyas! All I can say is that everything rocks - and to prove it, we've come back a second time! Anyone looking for a relaxing, rejuvenating resort - Shreyas is the place.
Ravi, age 11 (2nd visit) - April 2009
Shreyas is marvelous, and we came back since we love it so much and hope to continue to come and rejuvenate. The staff are marvelous and make the Shreyas experience exceptional. Thank you!
Mohini Malhotra (2nd Visit) - April 2009
I want to say a huge thank you to all the staff here who were, without exception, absolutely amazing. The food is fabulous, the way they decorated the table and surrounding area each evening was so generous and loving. The gardens are beautiful and the scents divine! I've really
enjoyed my stay here and hope to be back.
With love,
Bernadette Kieranan, Germany - April 2009
Shreyas is very beautiful and feels like home. The concept, the ambience and the overall feel is absolutely perfect for anyone who needs a well–deserved break.
I particularly was amazed at how my footwear was always moved in the direction of my departure.
Thank you! I will definitely visit again.
Erica Yalagi, India - March 2009
The second time around, one always tries to compare the experience with first time. Expectations were met in equal measure. Shreyas continues to be a wonderful world of bliss within a world of so much activity. Will always look forward to a visit to rejuvenate ourselves and go a little closer to ourselves.
Thanks to all the wonderful staff at Shreyas for making this a memorable experience. I had a great time.
Madhur & Jyotsna Rathaur, India - March 2009
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!
Best Regards,
Dj Crompton, Bombay & Allen, USA - March 2009
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.
Jignesh, Shweta, Siddhant & Suhani, India - March 2009
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.
With love to you all
Claire Paterson, UK - March 2009
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.
Sarah Campion, UK - March 2009
Thank you very much for a great week at Shreyas. We enjoyed the stay a lot and have become reconnected with yoga and spirituality. We hope to take back our experiences to everyday life to continue our practice.
We look forward to coming back!
Nanda & Jens Bergstein, Germany - March 2009
I enjoyed every second my stay at Shreyas and I leave feeling totally blissed out and rejuvenated. Mindfulness permeates Shreyas in a whole and sincere way that I have rarely seen before. I hope I shall be back soon. Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.
Claire Paterson, UK- February 2009
Shreyas - Thanks for the best teaching & training in Yoga & Pranayama in a scientific way through dedicated, unassuming selfless service of teachers. The staff are cordial & highly motivated to serve the needs of the guest with always smile on their face. Keep it up
Hope to visit again.
R. Keshava Murthy, India - February 2009
Thank you, thank you so much. In the few days that I have spent here I feel restored & so cared for. I have never stayed anywhere that has given such a thoughtful & caring approach. Nothing is too much trouble & I felt so nurtured and recharged.
Thank you, thank you to everyone for and amazing taste of Shreyas. I hope I shall return very soon.
Elizabeth Mayfield, UK - February 2009
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.
Frances McGovern, UK - February 2009
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,
Nilli, Preet, Komal Shah, UK - February 2009
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.
Tracy Collins, UK - February 2009
This has been my 2nd visit to Shreyas, and it has been as magical & special as the first. To every detail, from Yoga, food & the attention from the staff cannot be beaten & bettered – absolutely perfect.
Karen Tracy Hayes, UK - February 2009
Thank you for such an extraordinary experience. I loved every moment of my stay and go away such relaxed & invigorated. Your staff, programs & facilities make such a wonderful and special combination. I look forward to seen you again. Thank You
Kind regards
Cheryl Hicks, Switzerland - February 2009
Lovely place and far too short a stay.
We worked in Gollahalli and lived in Nelamangala for two years 42 years
ago.We had a wonderful time seeing many of the children we worked with, now grown with their own families.
Shreyas was a lovely place to stay while we made this visit.
We hope to return.
Helen & Lyle Stewart, USA - February 2009
We had a wonderful 24 hrs (I know way too short) The tranquility hits you the moment you enter and stays with you throughout. The attention to detail, wonderful staff and fantastic food adds up to an amazing experience, which is why we keep coming back.
Vicki Nicholson, India - February 2009
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!
Nihar,UK - February 2009
My wife & I enjoyed a wonderful & very relaxing 48 hrs here. It has been an outstanding respite from the hospital environment we have been experiencing in Bangalore. I especially appreciated the fine vegetarian cooking.
Peter & Bonni Curran, USA - February 2009
What an amazing first day’s introduction to India. Everything was fantastic! It makes it very hard to leave so soon…
We will have to come back.
Susan Rothfels, Canada, February 2009
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.
Love,
Alysson Trang, California / Singapore - January 2009
P.S. Thank you and many blessings
We’ve loved being here - delicious food, wonderful friendly staff & a perfect introduction for us both to chanting + Yoga in a heavenly place!
Brian + Fenella Ashford-Russell
Dorset, UK - January 2009
Yet again the Shreyas experience is even better than our expectations.
Thank you for taking such good care of us and our 8 month old son. We really appreciated your help, hospitality and home made baby food.
We will keep coming back, it’s the perfect retreat from Bangalore.
Carol, David & Thomas Legrand, UK - January 2009
Take care of you. God bless you.
Love with many, many thanks
Birgit Grasse, Germany - January 2009
Three days have passed so quickly – we don’t want to leave!!! It has been a most incredible stay.
We are so glad to have found this oasis away from loud, chaotic Bangalore.
Thank you so much for everything!
James, Sieglinde & Doglas, UK - January 2009
We have just finished breakfast of delicious Idli Sambar and coconut chutney preceded by the now usual yoga session.
We leave taking with us a bit of your heaven in our heart and mind and will be back.
Take good care and thank you very much.As Dr. Satheesh says, we have learnt to “appreciate the changes.”
Dr. Arvind Chandna, UK - January 2009
A “Yoga Heaven” is here. The smells, the sounds, a feeling of complete peace and harmony that is what we have. Thank you does not seem enough for all the wonderful staff here. They create this atmosphere with their wonderful knowledge and keenness to share. Every evening has been a wonderful surprise to where we would eat dinner, by the pool or the bonfire. The atmosphere has been beautiful!!
A simple thank you and we look forward to a return visit. God bless.
Michelle Murray, UK - January 2009
We have never experienced such refined, dignified, sincere service by staff anywhere!
There's a calm spiritual air about all the staff that makes a fabulous impression – and make me feel very very proud that I'm an Indian.
Unforgettable stay!
Indu Balachandran, Travel Writer - January, 2009
We wished we could stay longer to enjoy everything Shreyas has to offer! Very good food. I appreciated it as a French vegetarian. Such nice service & people.
Thank you so much
Armand Chatelard, France - January 2009
We have had a really wonderful experience here!. The staff is extremely polite & attentive to every need!
The whole experience was outstanding. We will be back again!
Thank you
Marie Dominique Maingard, France - January 2009

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.
Sunita Verma, UK - January 2009
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.
Ashok Bedi, USA - January 2009
I found SHREYAS by chance and it exceeded everything I ever wanted in a retreat. This magical place, the ambience, the care, love and attention of the staff and everyone who is part of this establishment far exceeded anything I have ever experienced. The smiling faces, the little touches made me feel so very special and so much cared.
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
Lackhsmi Vijai Singh, Hong Kong - January 2009
Our second visit to Heaven!
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.
Kavita & Sujit & Tanya & Manika, India - January 2009
Shreyas excels in what they do and are totally blessed. I am glad I could be here and be a part of it. I have had a wonderful time. I am grateful for the warmth & attention to details of all at Shreyas.
God bless you all & thank you!

Anoop Singh, India - January 2009
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.
Toby & Jennifer Greenbury, UK - January 2009
Shreyas has been so much 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.
Jose Fraga, Spain - January 2009
My visit to Shreyas was the perfect way to start the New Year. It brought me so much more than I expected! The “Joy of Giving” really did bring me much joy. The Yoga, the food, the place reminded me how to bring balance back into my life which I hope I can take to New York with me!
Thank you to every one on the Shreyas team for this amazing experience.With love and wishes for a great 2009!
Cara L Schlanger, USA - January 2009
This is my first visit to Shreyas, and as exaggerated as it may sound, my stay here has been filled with bliss!!. I feel like I’ve entered the paradise!!. Everything was perfect, & dinner every night was an event for us. Shreyas fills me with so much peace and happiness that I’m definitely coming back in the future.
Much love & thanks,
Amy Yeung, Hong Kong - December 2008
My 2nd visit to Shreyas I have found rest, peacefulness, sunshine, & much more. It has kick started my Yoga practice again & made me more aware of the food I should eat. I will miss the amazing breakfasts & chef’s cooking!
Thank you for making me welcome for a 2nd time - this really is an Indian haven.
Wishing you all harmony in 2009
Suzanna Sloan, UK - December 2008
Shreyas has been so much more than I ever expected and I can’t thank every single person here enough for making my stay a “little bit of heaven” in this world.
With much thanks and love
Billy Jones, UK - Decemebr 2008

Thank you so very much from my heart, my soul & my mind being united in their humble appreciation of everything in Shreyas! The wonderful team, without whom this place would not exist, the elegant and ambient atmosphere, the exquisite happy food (charged with energy & smile of our great chef!), great Yoga classes, wonderful massages, meditation, chanting, attention to the minute details, & caring attitude to us, your guests. This is my 3rd visit to Shreyas and yet again I am leaving this magical place fulfilled with the joy of being and looking very forward to coming back.
Have a wonderful & Happy 2009!
Namaste
Anna Svizunova, UK - December 2008
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!!
Vijaya Ravella, India - December 2008
This is my third visit to Shreyas and it feels like home, a home I leave reluctantly. Thank you all for your love and support on my ever changing journey through life.
Ms. Natalie Francis, Oman - December 2008
We loved every moment of our stay at Shreyas. The ambience was fantastic, the staff courteous, making the overall experience fabulous. We now look forward to our next visit.
Aparna & Krishnamurthy , India - December 2008
I wasn't sure that to expect, but Shreyas has exceeded any expectations I may have had. A brochure or website cannot do it justice and words cannot describe the experience adequately. Such beauty, tranquility, service and the chance to learn so much about oneself. Not to mention the truly delicious food. Many thanks for an unforgettable experience.
Ms. Vicky Cuming, UK – December 2008
This short visit was a gift from our daughter, Tanya, and what a present it turned out to be!
Fantastic setting, unforgettable ambience, great experiences and wonderfully attentive staff! Will be back!
Thank you
Marian & Peter Mc Ginnity, Ireland - December 2008
This is our second time at Shreyas & the experience has been as enjoyable as last time.
Apart from the good ambience, service & food, it offers a place where one can relax & enjoy the silence.The book & movie library collection is good too.
Thanks,
Madhavi & Mangesh, India - November 2008
When I came to Shreyas I had no idea what to expect as I found you on the Internet. The first day I was bit odd as I was the only guest. The second day I felt much more comfortable and today on my last day I don’t want to leave. It has been a great experience. My Yoga sessions have been much more rewarding than I could imagine. The massages were a very pleasant experience. The staffs’ friendliness & willingness to help and always be there… excellent.
This is a place with a great spirit, a soul and a big heart
Thank you all.
Susanna, USA - November 2008
There are not enough words to describe how phenomenal this place is. I have never felt so calm, relaxed, healthy, rejuvenated & cared for.
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!
Kim Dresner, Australia - November 2008
A heartfelt thank you for the time and compassion towards me that was given!
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.
The past 11 days here has given me an opportunity to connect and learn from a direct knowledge position.
Many thanks! Loved the little extra activities I was able to do.
Love and light to all at Shreyas.
Toula Harvath, Australia - November 2008

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!
Marie- Francoise Morelli, UK - November 2008
Always seem like the first visit, the second time around too.
Marie & Milton Francis, India - November 2008

Thank you all so much for sharing your beautiful experience with me - it was a glorious experience. I hope to return.
Helen Davison, UK - November 2008
Impeccable service every time. Smiles everywhere.
These are just a few of the reasons that make us return to such a tranquil place.
Thank you
Meera Medana, India - November 2008
Thank you, thank you, thank you for an unforgettable visit to your beautiful resort.
Everything was spectacular, especially the staff. I will cherish these 5 days forever and cannot wait to share my story with all my friends.
The only reason I can leave is because I know I am coming back.
Hope to see you again soon!
Natalia Castillo, USA – November 2008
Dear everyone,
Thank you for my recent visit at Shreyas. It was truly amazing visit, I felt so great and had so much energy after the week with you. I enjoyed the whole yoga philosophy you offered, you have really got the concept right. The personnel is so professional and I felt that you truly wanted me to feel happy and healthy. Thank you for that!
Best regards to your doctor who gave me some tips how to getter better sleep. And also best regards to everyone who was so kind and nice during my stay. I wish you all the best for the future and I'm definitely planning my next visit with you.

Kind Regards,
Maija Huttunen, Sevenoaks, UK / Finland – November 2008
Shreyas is a truly amazing place...the philosophy behind it and how it is carried out in the day-to-day interactions and work.
The attention to detail is amazing and the beauty of Shreyas is more than skin deep.
Thank you Shreyas for a wonderful week and i wish you all, individually and together, many blessings.
Namaste
Angie Chapman, UK - November 2008
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.
Anurag & Sheetal, India – October 2008
First time & not the last to this wonderful oasis of calm, peace & tranquility, where both mind & body get a chance to rest & step away from the outside world.
I’ll be back!
Anne Ravanona, India – October 2008
Second visit – extraordinary service. Smiles & warmth everywhere. Thank you for your welcome & consistent care & attention to details.
See you in November!
Meera Medana, India – October 2008
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!
Mohini Malhotra, (Nepal, Resident of New Delhi) – October 2008
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.
Ravi (Age-10), India- October 2008
It’s really good. I love the food. arden is awesome! Bye! Bye! I would rate it 100 stars.
Kiran (Age 7), India - October 2008
“If you want to be one with nature, be able to listen to your breath, taste the sweetness of the earth, kindness of mankind – then Shreyas is for you.”
It’s always a pleasure to come back here. It’s like a 2nd home.
Dr. Sema Sgaier, India - October 2008
A wonderfully serene and yet stimulating experience, fantastic food, service and ambience make for a calm, relaxing and rejuvenating experience.
Thanks to the awesome and helpful staff, amazing cook/chef, and wonderful environment. I feel thoroughly rested and ready for the next of my week!
Aparajita Ramakrishnan, India - October 2008
A truly wonderful experience perfect in every way!
Emma Cloney, UK - October 2008
This weekend was my 5th visit to Shreyas. And it does not change. It is still the relaxing and comfortable retreat l love. I hope it will last for many more years!
Franck Barthelemy, India - October 2008
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.
Jane Hartley, UK - October 2008
After only a few hours of arriving I decided I was in paradise. The friendly welcome from the staff and attention to detail in everything quickly made the stresses of outside life vanish and all I wanted was to take everything in and appreciate how lucky I was to experience the magic of Shreyas.
Now entirely relaxed I am ready to face London once more, specially knowing I am definitely returning to experience this all over again in the near future.
Thank you to all the staff for making my trip so memorable.
Sally Lane,UK - October 2008
Shreyas has got it right with excellent attention to detail. We couldn't have been better looked after and the tents we so comfortable with luxurious bathrooms. I have had a great introduction to Yoga and a couple of good treatments. An ideal end to our holiday in India.
Thanks!
Nicola Glover, UK - October 2008
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.
Emma Beamish, UK - October 2008
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!
Elena Dikanova, (Moscow-Sydney-London) - October 2008
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.
Carol + David Stott-Legrand, India - October 2008
A calm, tranquil retreat 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".
Lesley & Peter Stott,, UK - October 2008
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.
Louisa, London, UK - October 2008
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.
Lots of love, Tara, Tashi, Milly and Abhik Mitra, India - October2008
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.
Love, John Sewell, USA - October2008
This is our 2nd visit and it is wonderful to be here in the midst of serenity, calmness, tranquility. The humility of the staff members and their helpfulness is commendable! We love the food here; Yoga & Meditation classes are beautiful (we look forward to them). The facilities are great and we should be back many more times (God willing!). Thank you very much for the genuine and thoughtful hospitality. We leave here hoping to come back soon for longer next time.
Jyoti & Pitamber Sakhrani, Hong Kong - October2008
Our return visit was as gratifying as the first. Love the peaceful atmosphere, tendered ambience and culture of care.
Thank you, Narain Valiram Mahbubani, Indiai - September 2008
"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
Love Mehta, Anju Mehta, Anand Jain, Sunitha Jain, Sandeep Bhandari, Amita Bhandari, India - Sepembert 2008
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,
Iris Riesen, Hong Kong - September 2008
Interesting place to be, nice ambience, comforting cottages, friendly staff all add to give Shreyas retreat a thumbs-up!
Regards
M Kumar, September 2008
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!
Marieke, Marieke's Art of Living, Australia - September 2008
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!
Allison Curle, New Zealand (Currently UK) - September 2008
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.
Maria Mack, USA
Chang Sest Chi, Malaysia - September 2008
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.
Barbara and Pierre Bismuth, France - August 2008
Coming back here a second time, I think, says it all. Thanks to all the staff, some working me hard, some pampering me.
Hope to see you next year.
Maria Nilsson, Sweden - August 2008
My 3rd visit - it was just like 'coming home.' Thank you to all the staff for making this a truly unforgettable stay. Next year I will come for 20 days.
Special thanks to Bharat for his patience, Krishna for his wisdom.
To new found friends Barbara Bismuth & Pierre: thanks for the memorable meal times.
With love,
Barbara Knaap, Dubai - August 2008
Its always a pleasure to be back at SHREYAS. Very much a city girl, this place feels like “Shiva’s retreat” - the real place to chill after the stresses of city life.
What amazes me is the quality of housekeeping & cleanliness. Keep it up!
Suveni & Amarjit Singh, India - August 2008
It's a bit difficult to put into words how 'right' this place "gets it". You take Four Seasons service and go one step further. The staff are kind in nature and generous in spirit, a real tribute to India. 23 days of the best food, atmosphere, yoga and massaging - not sure how anyone could do this better.
Thank you for taking care of me, laughing with me and encouraging me to reach my goals.
See you next year!
Andrew Hunter, UK - August 2008
 
  This was our first visit here; we were pleasantly surprised by this place. Everything is very well decorated and clean. The rooms are spacious, the bathrooms are very well equipped, I was astonished at how peaceful it is over here. I would recommend this place to anyone that needs a weekend break.
Nilesh Iyer, India – August 2008
 
  Very nice place! I came here every time I need to stay in India over weekend. Especially want to mention your library. There is always something interesting to read. I will stop bringing my books when I stay at Shreyas. Please, continue and be successful.
Asher Sterkin, Israel - August 2008
 
  I have found everything at Shreyas to be best rate. The caring attitude of all the staff + the beautiful relaxing, settings are so important in a spa / retreat & you have doing everything perfectly! I really enjoyed my stay here + hope to return!
Katie Baird, Ireland - August 2008
 
 
I came for 3 days to have a quick break because a friend had recommended Shreyas. Thank you so much, 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.
Helen Pyman, UK - August 2008
 
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.
Johan & Edwin, UK - August 2008

My stay at Shreyas was a last minute decision, and one that I am so happy I made.
Life here is simple & focused. The atmosphere & the staff allow you to really let go & release yourself from stress & pressure. I felt so comfortable and enjoyed every facet of my stay.
I also appreciate the small number of the guests; it made things very intimate, friendly & trusty.
I wish my stay had been longer but I leave Shreyas calmed & rejuvenated.
Thank you to the entire staff for everything. I hope to be back.
Julia, USA - Aug 2008
Shreyas Yoga Retreat, India
 
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.
Loving Namaste
Sue Lynn Chong, Canada- July 2008
 
  What a great place, far from the crowds and smoky air of Bangalore. Really liked the peaceful grounds, the pool (we had the pool cabin) and the food, light and tasty. Our plan is to stay here whenever we are traveling to Bangalore. The massages and clean air are enough to put the mind ease, as well as help one sleep much better at night. Also, I must say that laundry was very professionally done – like getting new cloths back!!

All in all, Shreyas was a wonderful experience, one that – God willing – We’ll return to, time and again.Thanks to all for making our stay here extremely enjoyable. We really don’t want to leave –ever!
Emily & Ray, India - July 2008
 
 
This is a perfect visit to Shreyas for both of us. As always, the environment was a wonderful escape from Bangalore. The staff was very attentive and helpful. The food was great. The perfect way to unwind and rejuvenate.
Winn Veltema & Alison Hussey, India - June 2008
 
  This is our second stay at Shreyas and like last time, absolutely perfect. Everything we want in a weekend getaway from the chaos of Bangalore. Food exactly right. Yoga wonderful. Pool great. Massage Fabulous – go for the Balinese! We’ll be back to unwind and rejuvenate.
Thanks again.
Janet & Stephen Moses, India - June 2008
 
 
Excellent! Superb! Amazing, just great!!
The place is beautiful designed and the ambience is very peaceful. The staff is very courteous and graceful. The food is good, not adulterations or very spicy, less oil its good! The cleanliness is just commendable.
Keep it up and we shall come back and definitely recommend others.
Raviprasad & Sweta Prasad, MELANGE INTERIORS (P) LTD. , India - June 2008
 
A perfect respite from the city! The staff was excellent – calm, no pressure. The food was very good and the chef generous with his 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.

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.

Premala Paramanathan, Ireland – June 2008
 
 
I had been looking forward 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.
Fiona Rogers, U.K. - June 2008
 
 
Thank you so much for a really wonderful and rejuvenating week. Both this year and also last year Shreyas has been a really beautiful break – a time to get stronger both mentally and physically and to take stock. The yoga, chanting and meditation have all been so beneficial and the massages and delicious food have been a real treat.
Love and many thanks,
Fiona Henderson, Singapore – June 2008
 
In this peaceful place the feeling is that everything has been thought out with style and most important, lots of love!
Not so easy to reach, but thats what makes the place so magical and quiet.
The accommodation is elegant and minimal, very comfortable and customized. The staff cares about you like I care for my child. Meals are high quality, makes me want to be vegan.
We’ll come back….”CA PROSSIMA VOLTA FATECI UNO SOONTO”

  Loved my 6-day stay…
Yoga was great – a wonderful reintroduction to my life. I’m determined to continue in London. My 1st introduction to meditation and yoga nidra.
Food and staff were excellent. Definitely plan to return.
Sue Whiteley, UK - May 2008
 
 
Shreyas is a slice of heaven!
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.
Namaste
Sue Lynn Chong, Canada - May 2008
 
  To all the people who make up Shreyas - a very big thank you. You really have a winning retreat here, which excels in everything it offers. From the truly personal service to every minute detail being logged & remembered, it really is professionalism above all realms.
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,
Nicola Shepherd, African & Indian Explorations, UK - May 2008
 
 
Each time I come to Bangalore for business I opt to stay at Shreyas for the weekend. It’s a lovely place run by very professional and polite staff. All facilities and services 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.
Asher Sterkin, Jerusalem - May 2008
 
 
This has been our best holiday I think. I really wish we could stay longer. We’re surely coming back. The lovely green campus, the squeaky clean room, the really thoughtful staff (including the gesture of turning the slippers around), every little aspect made this 2-day holiday a dream vacation. To top it all was the beautiful candlelight dinner last night. A fitting treat for our wedding anniversary.
Anu & Raj & Varsha, India - May 2008
 
 
I 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.

Massage Center - -Shreyas Yoga Retreat
 
  I had 2 fantastic & relaxing days on my way back home after a work finishing here in Bangalore.
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
 
This was a perfect weekend getaway from being in the city. It was an ideal setting for our little family to spend quality time together and to reconnect. Shreyas is such a tranquil & peaceful setting and environment you have no choice but to feel completely relaxed!
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
 
 
As usual, my friend and I had a wonderful time at the resort - this is a place where you can never stay long enough....
Franck Barthelemy, India - April 2008
 
  A fabulous experience: beautiful surroundings, exquisite food + exceptional service …where better to explain yoga + meditation? Thank you.
Ms. Alison Tyler, London - April 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.

This place was peaceful, even when we brought our kids along!! It really is a place for self-discovery!! I think your staff set an example in humility, service and sincerity, wish you all success!!
Manoj, April 2008 -India
 
  Very nice place and peaceful relaxation time! Loved the swimming pool and home theatre especially. Great service as well!!
Sejal, April 2008 - India
 
  This is my third stay at Shreyas, and hopefully not my last! It is always a treat to come back to this enclave of peace. Every time, I feel that I understand the philosophy behind the place a little bit more and my only wish is that, one day, I shall be able to bring some of this teaching with me, back home.
Thanks to all for making my stays always so special.
Marie-Francoise Morelli, April 2008 - UK
 
  I very much appreciate the guided sessions and generosity of time given to me by all members of the Shreyas family.
Namaste
Natalie Francis, April 2008 - Oman
 
  We came to Shreyas hoping to leave the hectic city life back for the weekend. We had heard of how peaceful and rejuvenating this place. When we arrived we got what we had hoped for and heard of and much more… This place truly puts one back in touch with ourselves and the warm and attentive staff help greatly in soothing ones nerves.
Thank you for making such a great place.
Mangesh Sathe & Mrs. Madhavi Sathe - India
 
  I arrived at Bangalore station at 5am, somewhat bleary eyed and disheveled after a 12-½ hour train journey from Goa. My backpack tour to study yoga and massage plus do some sight seeing in southern India finally came to a close.
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.
Nichollette Yardley-Moore, March 2008 - Ireland
 
 
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.
Marie-Claire, UK - March 2008
 
 
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.
Alexandara Miro, UK - March 2008
 
Never have I been to a place and relaxed so thoroughly, so quickly. Tranquil bliss! Understated luxury coupled with wonderful staff and super food in a beautifully natural surrounding – what a combination! Must be good – I haven't missed wine & chocolate!
Cathy Bain,UK - March 2008
A completely beautiful experience – thank you to everyone at Shreyas. I relaxed in such a short time and enjoyed every moment of being here – the yoga, the food, the surroundings, the chanting and even made peace with the trains!
I have learnt so much and hope to come back soon! Much love to you all.
Eleanor Forster, UK - March 2008
An unusual and unexpected island of serenity – a surprise for first time visits…
Thank you for such impeccable consideration, flawless service and an ocean of calm.
Marie Brenner, USA - March 2008
Shreyas: New meaning – a wonderful peaceful retreat. I have learned something new about myself - about Yoga, about food and about people. I will use this knowledge in my everyday life to improve my life and those around me.
Thank you. A big thank you to the team here, they are attentive and wonderful. I hope to be back to experience more of your hospitality.
Ms. Jacqueline, UAE - February 2008
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
Sue Porter, UK - February 2008
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,
Saroj Patel & Sheel Patel, UK - February 2008

Perfection!
We appreciated every minute of our stay with you, the attention to detail, the delicious food cooked with love and served with respect. The efficient and discreet staff and the natural setting all combined to make us relaxed and Serene.
We leave Shreyas with a smile in our hearts.
With love and blessings.

Linda and Frank Khalastchi, UK
Jovita & Chris Clover, Spain - February 2008
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
Thank you for amazing hospitality & creating a space of true relaxation, connection & rejuvenation. You are blessed with this creation & I only wish I get to share it with as many people as possible.
With Gratitude, Namaste
Cari Caldwell & Paul Gibbon - 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
Nichollette Yardley – Moore, Ireland - February 2008

Marvelous experience. Thanks for your kind & caring service. Great to see all aspects of “yoga lifestyle” in practice by everyone. ‘Walking the talk’.
Deidra Jane Wager, USA - February 2008
I am impressed by your service and attention to details. 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.

Relaxing & Beautiful
Please thanks for everything.

 Maasages - Shreyas Yoga Retreat
An oasis amidst the chaos & excitement of India. Sensational food, setting & service!
Catherine Devrye, Australia - February 2008
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.
Peter + Judy Ellwood - January 2008
A great place, a great people. Enjoy it very much each time. I come here, Please continue.
Asher Sterline - January 2008
Thank you for a fantastic stay. The care and detail that has been put into creating Shreyas is wonderful and well appreciated, we are grateful to have this experience.

Thank you
Daniel + Saray, Costa Rica - January 2008
What a surprise!! Such a simple lifestyle, so exciting… only smiles, kindness, relaxing quietness.
It is good to stay here for a few days. It brings us back to the reality of life.
Thanks to you all team for welcoming us.
Petra Philippe - January 2008
Shreyas is the most wonderful place - it has been bliss to escape to this peaceful oasis, close to nature and incredibly comfortable. Thank you to all staff for looking after us so well and for the delicious food. The yoga and chanting were inspiring too. I wish we could have stayed longer! And hope to return soon
With Many thanks
Philippa Devas + Jonathan O'Donoghue, UK - January 2008
Shreyas is a peaceful oasis to nurture the senses and soul. My stay, this visit, is short but I hope to return and indulge in Shreyas for at least one week. A warm Namaste to all the staff for their exceptional service and kindness.
Many thanks,
Simone Selby, Australia - 18th January 2008
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.
Carol Stott Legrand & David Legrand, India - January 2008
A big thank you to everyone at Shreyas who made our brief 36-hour stay memorable. The whole setting takes one away from the bustle of everyday life and inspires one to learn & practice the yoga & chanting that is taught so well.
The food has been delicious and the outside settings for dinner wonderful.
Thank you all
Jane & Robert, India - January 2008
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.
Mary Elce, UK. - January 2008
Shreyas… when a concept is based on love it can't fail. This has been much more than a holiday. It has changed our lives. We hope to continue on with all the lessons we have learned here not just from the teachers but all the staff who have looked after us like family.

Anna & John Fawcett - January 11th 2008
I just had the most perfect cookery lesson to finish my wonderful stay here at Shreyas. Not only have 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.
Rima Brihi, UK - January 2008
To the wonderful people @ Shreyas
Thank you so much for making this holiday one I know we will remember always. My sister and I came here to enjoy some quality time together away from the stresses of everyday life in New York. You have created an unbelievably special place that more than surpassed our expectations. From the booking to our departure, the journey through Shreyas was impeccable - it truly touched our body, mind and soul.
Many thanks and much gratitude to all the lovely, friendly and caring people @ Shreyas who made this experience so special and one we will definitely want to repeat as soon as possible.
Much love and bless you all
Christine and Carol Schuster,USA - January 2008
I came hoping to improve my Yoga. I left feeling truly relaxed, spiritually strengthened and yes slightly more ready for my next Yoga class.
Thank you for the experience.
Sarah, UK - January 2008
To all the wonderful, kind staff at Shreyas
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,
Rebecca, Dublin - January 2008
To Everyone at Shreyas - 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,
Emma - January 2008
P.S: The food was so good I didn’t even miss red wine
Dear Shreyas,
Had an amazing time it has been the most wonderful holiday.
I came here a complete stress head! And I’m leaving so calm and full of energy! I will continue all the chanting, meditation, yoga and I am sure I will be back soon.
The staff is wonderful & kind. And I am so thankful such an oasis of happiness and calm exists. The people + friends I have met here have all been wonderful also! (lots of laughter)
So thank you... it’s a great start to 2008…
Peace, love & thanks.
Faye,UK / Scotland - January 2008
Dear Shreyas,
I arrived here 10 days as a broken and wounded soul and am leaving having found my inner strength and my wings again. I had no idea what to expect when I first booked my holiday and make been blown away by the magic of this place.
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…
Soiya, London & Nairobi - January 2008
Dear Shreyas
From the first moment we came through the gates we could feel the calmness of this oasis wash over us.
Your attention to detail here, from the impeccable gardens to the supremely gracious staff is second to none. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, the food is delicious, the flowers beautiful and the Yoga sublime.
Thank you for helping two people come back to themselves and find each other.
Michael & Susie,UK - January 2008
A truly wonderful week of Yoga, great knowledge, chanting, meditation, lovely food, and not the least, the nicest staff I think I have ever experienced. This has been the week that I will never forget. Shreyas must be one of this world’s hidden gems. I cannot wait to return.
Anders Johansson, UK - December 2007
We came with no expectations but found that this place is superb. Staff is so very nice that we felt very comfortable. Nature is all around. It was truly freshening break from Bangalore’s busy life.
Rajesh and Keerti Gupta, India - December 2007
Every one who is lucky enough to be give an opportunity to write a few words in this book will all have experienced a special wonder that you have created here at Shreyas. It has been a truly amazing experience for me to have stayed here in such a unique environment you have created.
Thank you to every one of the staff who have all played their part in looking after me so well. You have been absolutely brilliant from the second I arrived here. I felt so sad to be leaving such magical gem of a place you have created here and I am simply counting the days when I return to be enveloped in the blissful cocoon once again.
With love & thanks to every one,
Barbara, UK - December 2007
Truly a fantastic experience to meet our daily stress levels.
The food, the staff is just fantastic and you very much feel at home with a level of service, which is outstanding. Would recommend this place to my friends and will surely return next year.
With all our best wishes to you for 2008.
Urvesh J Rajani, UK - December 2007
I simply love this place!
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
Natalie, Muscat - December 2007
Shreyas – What to say? !
An absolute gem of a Yoga retreat… The food, accommodation, Yoga classes were all excellent and the service was second to none.
Thank you to all the staff who made our stay a very comfortable and memorable one. We wish we could stay for longer - never mind, we will be back!
Anand & Mital Saman, UK - December 2007
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.
Peter & Kanwaljit, UK - December 2007
Dear Shreyas
Thank you so much for everything you have offered. This was a true spiritual and self-discovery journey. The staff was nothing but professional, kind and caring and offered me simply seamless service. This place is a true paradise. Food is great, atmosphere and vibe is so peaceful.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. I will for sure be back, some time soon.
Souha Dawlibi, Saudi Arabia - December 2007
We had a tremendous stay at Shreyas.
The meal rituals were awesome. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Yoga classes.
The staff was lovely and caring. A big ‘thank you’ to Lakshmi who looked after Naami & Inigo so well while we were practicing Yoga.
Merry Christmas to everybody!!
Nelly & Richard + Naami & Inigo, UK - December 2007
Dear Shreyas, thank you so very much for a wonderful time! It is my second time here and I like, enjoy and cherish it very much!

Drum roll…. A perfect 10! This place has it all - great food, friendly staff, beautiful environment and most of all, Peace!
We would surely come again.
Daniel & Shanti Craig, Canada - December 2007
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.
Helen Moyes, Miriam Shea and Lucy, UK - December 2007
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.
Shirell James,UK - December 2007
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,
Mary Barrett & Sharon White, UK - December 2007
Great place. I loved my time here. I will tell all the ladies from the Women Association about this peaceful spot just out side the city.
With the teachings of Yoga one can learn great inner peace. What a wonderful setting to start that journey.
Jodi Segal, USA - December 2007
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.
Harun Omar, UK - December 2007
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.
Dr. Mary Ollapally, India - December 2007
A heaven on earth is Shreyas. It is very beautiful. I feel very sad to leave Shreyas. We had a wonderful experience in Shreyas. Many, many thanks to Shreyas. I hope to return 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.
Suresh Bansal & Sushma Bansal, India - December 2007
A wonderful experience. The beautiful and helpful people of Shreyas have enhanced every bit of the stay, and what about the talent of the chef and his team – inspired! I’m relaxed and just about ready to go home. Many, many thanks
P.S: Massages fab!
Colette Tebbutt, UK - December 2007
The brilliance of in: spa mixed with the wonderful Shreyas setting – difficult to top.
Thank you for wonderful stay – I’ll be back!
Sarah Halbard,UK - December 2007
Thank you to all of you at Shreyas for making our first in: spa yoga retreat so memorable. You have looked after us all wonderfully, and we look forward to our next visit.
Kathryn Brown, UK - December 2007
Please thank everyone for a wonderful experience. The scent of the flowers is heavenly, the gardens beautiful, all the staff superb. Everyone is so approachable, the food out of this world, service exceptional and constantly so.
Excellence – I think that correctly sums it up.
Thank you!!
Adela
PS: Hope to see you all again
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!
Emma, UK - December 2007
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.
Gaytri Kachroo, USA - November 2007

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.
May Mother nature be always with you all.
Marie-Françoise Morelli, France - November 2007
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
Elisa Manchester, India - November 2007
This was an amazing experience. I have loved the food, the atmosphere, the place, the staff, the beautiful setting - my particular soft spot is the way the staff have made the evening dinner settings so beautiful.
Thank you
Elin Thomas, UK - November 2007
For once words fail me - I can't really believe we've been here for 4 days. Thank you so much for making our stay so memorable and enjoyable.
Love to all.
Helen, UK - November 2007
Bliss- just as your website said only better.
The food, atmosphere, surroundings and stay are unforgettable. Thank you everyone for making it so special.
Jenny, UK - November 2007
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
As “India Chic” told us, we were looking for a quiet and relaxing time, with kids… Here we just found it!
Great feeling in observing décor, swimming pool, trees, “White staff”, agricultural garden, yoga space, dinner room, living room, flowers, lanterns, candles at night, and SILENCE, specially appreciated from Bangalore.
We noticed we can afford it, even with 3 young children. Congratulation to the “creator” of this awesome place!
We shall recommend it to some friends, those who should love your place.
Hope coming here alone, one more time to enjoy again.
Jerome Grillet, France - November 2007
Shreyas is a unique property combining nice facilities, peaceful environment, re-energizing activities and excellent personalized service… in short, an ideal destination to escape and forget for a while a world that is not always so ideal. Please keep making us dream & understanding ourselves better
Thanks for all that.
Stephane Junca, France - October 2007
This has been a wonderful getaway – perfect in every way. Peaceful, clean, green with all the comforts – nothing has been compromised. This perfect blend of the spiritual & material world is ideal from the stresses of city life.

Staff are wonderful, service impeccable. Library brilliantly stocked. Food excellent, Massages great. Yoga therapeutic.
Thank you for everything.
Joanna, Judith, Diana & Sangeeta, India - October 2007
The Service, Yoga, Massages, Chanting, Food and Environment are all truly excellent. A big "Thank you" to each and every member of staff for making my stay so special. You have provided a totally relaxing, but yet invigorating experience.
I'm looking forward to my return visit already. I'll never forget my stay here.
Alex, UK - October 2007
Shreyas is a true treat! Everyone was as kind as I had remembered. The teachers of all classes show care. Great yoga! With great yoga comes good health! I leave Shreyas feeling relaxed & with great memories. Thank you to all the team.
OM SHANTI
Peter, UK - September 2007
From the crowded city like Calcutta this place is like heaven for us. We can hear the sound of silence, sound of birds and sound of wind. Sometime I felt I was dreaming but hard to believe that it was pure nature. Staying in the tents was also a different experience. It was like we were under a big umbrella when it was raining. Food quality is excellent, and it is prepared with full nutrients because health is the most important part of our holiday. Lastly, service was very good.
Madhulika Kanaria, India
Dear Friends,
For that is what you have become to us during the wonderful days we have both been here.
We have been blessed to have been served so well by _all _of the staff @ Shreyas. The service has been kind, courteous, considerate and very professional - above all always with smile.
The food has been simply sumptuous!! Never have we looked so forward to meal times. It has been clearly evident that the best ingredients have been picked to prepare the meals. The environment has been beautifully designed and helps to ooze peace and quiet during meditation. Lush green grounds have been well maintained and provide real tranquility.
Shreyas has provided a wonderful insight into both yoga and pre-meditation. The teachers have been very patient and helpful, taking care of us both when at different levels.
A wonderful environment for introspection and reflection - a great enabler for change!!! We hope to return one day very soon…
Alps & Renee, UK - September 2007
Thank you to everyone at Shreyas for a wonderful 9 days. I cannot believe how relaxed I feel. An amazing introduction to Yoga & Meditation by kind caring teachers. The cottage was beautiful (complete with squirrel playing in the bathroom garden!). The food was the best I have eaten, delicious & varied. Amazing service by happy staff.
This has been a life- changing holiday. I will return!
Paula Jones, UK
We had a lovely time here and everyone was so courteous and helpful to us – lovely place, staff & food – a great relaxation treat!
Theresa & Kevin Foster
Shreyas is a discovery; it tells you things you simply can't hear from a distance. I have been a part of a small world so distant from my own which is why I returned. You have created the most perfect world in a most perfect place. Thank you, for making Shreyas a place where we can remind ourselves how good it is to be alive!
I'll return for my 3rd year next year.
Until then… Much love,
Barbara, Dubai – August 2007
I am really pleased Barbara brought me to this beautiful, peaceful place. I have enjoyed everything, food, yoga, massages, walks in lovely surroundings. I really feel like I have been pampered, thanks to every one of you.
Maria, Sweden - August 2007
My days in Shreyas have become a true journey of self-discovery. Thank you so much for your efforts, kindness and attention to minute details as in every day running of the place and teaching sessions.
Your wonderful attitude has helped to make a difference in my life. (As well as all of your guests, just read this book!) .Thank you for sharing your knowledge, passion and experience.
I wish you all the best for your journey.
Namaste,
Anna, UK – August 2007
Shreyas has provided me with an environment of complete calm and tranquility. The yoga has really stretched and strengthened my body and the breathing techniques will be helpful back home. Thank you to everyone for their continual kindness and attentiveness. The food and service has been amazing.
Thanks again for giving me more than I had imagined
Namaste,
Theo Jones, UK – August 2007
It was a great experience; extremely well trained, humble staff who make you feel welcomed as soon as you arrive. Though we have traveled a lot we were touched with our stay here and will cherish every moment. As travel agents, we will definitely send all our clients here.
Wishing you all @ Shreyas great success.
Niranjan & Sheela Gupta, Travel Bazaar, UK - August 2007
“A Journey of self - discovery”
The first retreat place that lives up to it’s name! I have visited quite a few retreat places, but have never found such a true, genuine and authentic approach like here at Shreyas!
A great thank you to everybody of this wonderful team which allowed me do discover a little bit more of myself!
Ms. Renate Hermes, Maldives - July 2007
Thank you again for another fabulous week. As before it has been a week of relaxation, great food, challenging yoga & fantastic service. I will be back!
Many thank to all the staff.
Jo Coombs, UK – July 2007

Thanks to everyone for a wonderful stay! I’m very sad to be leaving just as I’m beginning to really relax into it, all the more reason to come back!
Once again, a huge thank you for helping me to regain some balance in my life!
See you again,
Sally, UK – July 2007
Fine Dining - Shreys Yoga Retreat
Shreyas has surprised me in the ability to make such a simple lifestyle so enticing.
The service has been impeccable and all activities etc have been catered to my specific needs & abilities. I have settled in here incredibly well and have resolved to return. The main ethos that this is a lifestyle – that the intention should be to take something learnt from this place and implement it into everyday life – evidences the intent and philosophy behind Shreyas – that it does not have to be a “retreat” but that such joys can be found under any circumstances and surroundings!
Ms. Lisa Campbell, UK - June 2007

As soon as I entered Shreyas I was surrounded by a serenity and calm that intensified as one journeys through the chanting, Shankarji's discourses and Yoga. Add to it Pawan's patient and intelligent explanations & observations, and it is an experience sublime.

Thank you for the experience...the food is great - the kitchens and gardens to be proud of and the sevice silent, very respectful and thorough. I am sure Shreyas will grow from strength to strength.
Neene Kapoor, UK - June 2007
Shreyas is a wonderful place. The staff is very efficient and experience of living here is eternal and divine. I am so happy to have come here and look forward to coming here again!
Radhika Poddar & Group, UK - June 2007
This has been the most wonderful, relaxing and also energizing week. Shreyas has an amazing atmosphere of peace and calm, so it has been a real blessing to have been cocooned and looked after so beautifully. Thank you all so much. We both hope to be back next year.
Fiona Henderson, Singapore - June 2007
Shreyas Yoga Retreat
The atmosphere at Shreyas has been so peaceful. The garden is beautiful, and being surrounded by nature’s abundance has added to the healing properties of this place.
I have learnt a great deal. My yoga practice has improved and I have really enjoyed the chanting and meditation practices. It has made me want to develop there areas much further and has made me question many things.
All the staff have been so kind and have looked after us perfectly. We go home with wonderful memories and look forward to returning
Thank you
Fiona Rogers, UK - June 2007
Our visit to Shreyas is frequent. The more we come the more we like the place. Ambience, food, and hospitability - everything is very good.
We wish all the best to the people taking good care of guests. We thank the staff here a lot.
Achla Saraogi & Group, UK - June 2007
A big thank you to all the people connected with Shreyas in anyway. The place has an ambience of Tapovan andit's a lot easier to connect with oneself.
Urmil Batra - June 2007
My visit to Shreyas was very divine and peaceful. A very relaxing place.
All the people over here are very warm and we feel very warm with them. A very heavenly feeling... pollution free.

We will return for more.
Anne, Tarun Jotwani, USA & India - May 2007
Shreyas encapsulates everything that is good about India and its culture and spirit. A wonderful way to end my short tour of the south. I shall be back.
Christopher Digby Bell, UK - May 2007
Shreyas Yoga Retreat, India
Shreyas has a perfect blend of Yoga, Chanting & Organic food, not to forget the Massages, Pool, Steam room & the wonderful gardens.
The staff show the calmness that a Yogic lifestyle can bring... and this inspires you even further.
To sum Shreyas up, I would say simple luxury with wonderful people.
Thank you to everyone who makes Shreyas so special.
Peace
Peter Page, UK - May 2007
