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

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

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

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

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

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

What amazes me is the quality of housekeeping & cleanliness. Keep it up!

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!

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.

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

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

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, New Delhi - July 2008
To all the
staff at Shreyas,
Thank you so much for the way you’ve looked after me over the past week. I’ve experienced good service elsewhere too, but never has the staff been so genuinely friendly and helpful – you can really tell that it comes from the heart.
I also loved the fact the staff practice yoga and chanting daily too – makes the whole place seems really authentic and much more than “just another” excellent hotel.
I can’t fault anything; food service, surroundings, massages all have been fantastic.
Being a beginner at Yoga, I really feel I’ve been given a special gift in the classes I’ve had, I’ll make sure I keep this alive when I return home.
The week I’ve had here was exactly what I needed at this point in my life - and I’m really thankful to you all for making it possible. I hope I can return again one day!

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

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.

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,

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”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, Paris, France - May 2008
The accommodation, staff and facilities all exceeded expectations, which made the weekend even more relaxing and stress free. The staff was truly superb, did not intrude or were not intrusive to our privacy – they were extremely attentive but not overbearing, which was perfect. All ways very responsive, we traveled with a baby and they were always willing to accommodate her in every way.
The meals were all very delicious, healthy and the quality & quantity were excellent. Fantastic choice for a relaxing & reenergizing few days; would highly recommended Shreyas and would love to stay here again.
Thank you,

Mr. Mangesh Sathe & Mrs. Madhavi Sathe - Bangalore
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.
Ms. Nichollette Yardley-Moore, March 2008 - Ireland
I don’t

Every element of my stay has been exceptional in every way. The ambience at Shreyas is difficult to describe in words but beauty & peace come to mind.
The staff who are, help make the ambience are truly beautiful people & thank you again for making my stay so perfect. The classes have helped expand me and are another step in my learning.
The food is wonderful & I am looking forward to my cooking class today. The setting for the meals is simple but always exquisite. Thank you for taking us to the local school and sharing the faces & smiles of the children. I look forward to seeing again on my return which I will make sure is soon.

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

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

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, England - February 2008
We came to
Shreyas "out of the blue" as it was part of a tour by a "tailor
- made" tour operator. We were completely hooked within minutes of
our arrival at 1:30am. The place and tranquility (except for the trains!)
are amazing. The attitude of the staff is a major contributor to the ambience.
Their politeness, perfect manners and quiet efficiency is remarkable.
We are only here for a day and a half but we clearly
hope to return.
Anthony Robinson - February 2008
I came to Shreyas
following the breakup of a 14 year relationship and a strong need to “find
myself”. From the moment I arrived I have felt at peace with my
self for the first time in years. More importantly I have started to “feel”
again after so long on an emotional shut down.
The whole experience here has been wonderful. The atmosphere, the people, the food and the lack of personal demand. Every one is kind and considerate, particularly the catering team, who will do anything for you with a smile. For me, a beginner at yoga it has been amazing. I did not realize what could be achieved through the practice.
I know I will be back again sometime soon and who knows, I might make it an annual event. Shreyas is not golden bullet and I know it won’t fix everything for me but I now know that I can go back with some fantastic tools to move on in my life.
This is the starting point for becoming the person I want to be.
With love and light,
Thank you so much

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

I 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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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…

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

Thank You very much- Namaste.

Everything was willingly done with a smile, a Namaste and a you’re

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.

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.

The surroundings are beautiful, the effect very calming and the people who run the place are very genuine. Nothing is too much trouble for them. And the food – WOW – exquisite.
I will definitely be coming back.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 |
This has been a life- changing holiday. I will return!

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,

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!

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!

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.
