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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

Shreyas: Staff: Sensational, attention to detail like I’ve never seen before. Surroundings: Breathtaking, need I say more Yoga classes: Absolutely fantastic, teachers were inspiring – made you want to push ourself that much more! Food: Best healthy vegetarian food I have had. Compliments to he chef(s) Massages: No better way to wind down a lovely day. Thank you for making my stay here so special. 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
   
    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

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,

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. reat 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.

    This was a very enjoyable & calming experience. I would recommend it warmly to friends & colleagues.
Yitzhak Bandayan, May 2008
   
   
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.
Marie & Milton, India - April 2008
   
    Thank you for your great service, food. My stay was lovely. See you soon.

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.

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.

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
Thanks for everything.

    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.

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. We look forward to come back to Shreyas hopefully in a near future. It has provided a safe heaven for us and the space to unwind and relax
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.

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 - 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.

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.

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.

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

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 uin 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.
Sresh 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

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
   
   
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
   
   
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.

Shreyas Guest review
   
   
“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
   
   
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
   
   
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.
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.
Thanking all,
Saritha Punjabi - June 2007
   
   
How lovely to be so far from the “Bombay Bustle”! So peaceful and calming.
Thoughtful service. Heavenly landscape. Divine meals. Yoga & Massage... so therapeutic.
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 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
   
   
Thank you to each of you at Shreyas for helping me feel whole again. It is a special place, you are special people and it has been a truly enriching experience.
Ms. Gail - May 2007
   
   
Our visit to Shreyas was the perfect finale to 10 days in India. The team at Shreyas has created an oasis of calm in the midst of India’s head long rush to what?
The yoga sessions were demanding while energizing, the food delicious, the atmosphere bewitching, the staff solicitous but not obsequious. We will always remember our stay here with great fondness.
Kathleen Anne / Jerry Dean, USA - April 2007
   
   
Another visit to Shreyas and all our expectations were met. We really enjoy the calmness here after the hectic weeks in Bangalore.
Thanks to all the staff for providing such an oasis!
Alison & Steve Hussey, India - April 2007
   
   
I chose to come back again this year because I couldn’t forget what a paradise you have created here in Shreyas. I can’t say that I would change a thing. You have done everything superbly and have kept it that way. Thank you making a place that is just as I had dreamed of.
Holly Mosher, USA - April 2007
   
   
We feel as if we have been picked up and wrapped in silk...The attention to detail is second to more and the staff has been so courteous. Krishna noticed absolutely everything we wanted and made sure we got it. As for the food, we are speechless!
Many thanks,
Liz Pape & Charlie Barnard, UK
   
   
I just went through all the pages and I think it’s just that there are no more words to say how fantabulous this place is.
Thanks Shreyas,
Love Always
Saj - April 2007
   
   
To all the Shreyas family members,
Thanks to all of you for a most wonderful experience. I am not sure where to begin as I think back on this memorable stay at your resort.
First and foremost hearty congratulations on the service, smiles and teaching you have given me. I have learnt what it truly means to be part of a wonderful experience. The staff were extremely committed and attentive – and always with a smile on their face- a true reflection of the heart and soul of India.
The yoga meditation teachers were knowledgeable and attentive – hopefully I can take some of their teachings back to London with me.
The food is exquisite and the surroundings impeccable. Please continue to create it as I hope to return with family and friends very soon.
God bless & take care,
Priya Nair Radhakrishnan, UK - April 2007
   
   
A huge thank you to all at Shreyas! We’ve had a wonderful 4days here & could certainly have stayed for longer if we hadn’t a flight booked for tomorrow. While the time passed so quickly, each day was better than the last. I’ve never enjoyed getting up so early before; the morning yoga class is an amazing way to start the day. The meals were fantastic – innovative and delicious.

Everyone working at Shreyas was friendly & couldn’t possibly be more accommodating or helpful. Many thanks again. Hopefully see you again soon.
Lisa + Conor, Ireland - April 2007
   
The best near – Bangalore resort I have been at so far. Perhaps one of the best I have seen during all my trips. The place is built to help you to come back to your true self, and it does work. I could hardly imagine what needs to be improved. Everything works smoothly and in a perfect coordination; exceptionally good service, delicious and light meals, served timely, nice place, a lot of greens. I just felt in love with this place, please, keep on going. I will try to come every time I need to spend a weekend at Bangalore. It’s just so great here. Special thanks for promoting a healthy life style, yoga, meditation, lack of alcohol and noisy music. When you come here you feel the difference from other places especially with this regard.
Asher, Israel - April 2007
   
    From the beautiful flowers that adorned our tented cottage to the lovely people that brought us peace, serenity and love… we thank you for the time we shared.
Stephen & Karina also, thank you for the training, and I will be better for the next cricket practice
Stephen, USA - April 2007
     
   
A truly inspirational experience! The setting and ambience transcend the earthly realm to create a paradise not found elsewhere. It is an ideal place – the garden cottage a perfect place to rest our weary heads, connected with nature; the garden with so many fruits and vegetables, a place of sustenance and beauty; the staff, wonderfully attentive and kind; the yoga and meditation and massages, a time to truly lift the spirits; the food sensational! Thank you for sharing this slice of heaven on earth and for offering such a place to restore inner peace, balance and tranquility. We look forward to our return again. Namaste
Karina & Stephen, USA - April 2007
   
   
I came to Shreyas, looking for relaxation and inner peace. I have found both in abundance in this wonderful place. Shreyas is indeed a journey of self discovery – for me, the first step towards a new and exciting future. My love and grateful thanks to everyone who has made my stay here so special – the staff, new friends made along the way and last but not least, my friends Dave & Patty (16-22 Jan) for showing me the way.
With warmest wishes,
Hilary, UK - April 2007
   
   
God has a hand in every garden on earth. He worked over time on this one. Shreyas is a magical setting.
Ethan Sutaria, India - April 2007
   
   
My stay at Shreyas was far too short. However even in this extremely short stay I could experience the warmth and hospitality of each and every staff member who made us feel at home. The massage was wonderful and just what I needed to soothe my travel weary limbs. We will certainly recommend Shreyas to our friends and guests. Sincerest thank you to the entire team.
Dimple Uberoi, Designer Holidays ,India - April 2007
   
   
Enjoyed practicing yoga in the open court with fresh air & scents of flowers. Hospitality of the staff is excellent. Concept of food served is good with less oil, use of organic vegetables.
Facility has been maintained very neatly, it is as new as we had visited two years back. Will definitely come back to Shreyas.
Reddy Family, India - April 2007
   
   
The unlucky part about Friday 13th is having to leave Shreyas. The lucky part is leaving with mind, body & soul refreshed & relaxed. We came with two children – and still we have all managed to unwind, chill & spend time talking, eating, being & relaxing together. We also did yoga classes together, swam together, & delighted in exploring Shreyas together.
Thanks to Shreyas we have had a wonderful time together.
Sarah Hawkes, India - April 2007
   
   
Shreyas delivered way beyond expectation, much, much more than could reasonably be expected or desired. Somehow, the staff really do make you feel like you are the only guest here. On the check-out day, I was already thinking about when I could come back again and how I could make the stay longer. A wonderful and unforgettable experience.
Martin Craig, UK – April 2007
   
   
I came to Shreyas with a true purpose – to relax, unwind and hopefully find inspiration to incorporate yoga & meditation into my fast-paced, existence at home. I have most certainly achieved all of that and so much more. I feel enthusiastic about life & making changes to the way I approach it. I will strongly recommended this experience to many of others that I know that find the busy, often shallow lives of the western world soul destroying.
With much respect for your efforts,
Rebeccah Nazar, Australia - April 2007
(April fool’s… But I’m the fool for leaving here!)
   
   
In all my travels, Shreyas is the closest thing to Eden that I have found on this earth. From beginning to end, I have been welcomed and treated like an honored family member coming home after a long absence: enveloped in the caring staff that make Shreyas an exceptional experience. Thanks to Krishna for sharing a glimpse into your tranquility, Reshma for soothing my aches from finding my practice again, to Narayan for your never ending smile and to all the learned yogis in their kind instruction and motivation. I look forward to and count the days to my return… 14 days is simply not enough.
Tara Barry, Canada - April 2007
   
   
First of all, thank you to all of the staff who work here. Every one of you works hard to achieve this amazing place, with smiles and professional service. The food was fabulous, the yoga energizing and massage a real treat. Although I have been here for a short stay, I feel very lucky to have had this experience. I very much look forward to returning.
Sian Roberts, London - April 2007
   
   
I came away to re-charge my batteries and spend my 33rd Birthday in blissful isolation and am happy to report that I achieved both, thanks to Shreyas. The highlights from my 8 night visit include the yoga, the setting, the staff and their attention to detail, the glorious food and the company of fellow guests. I will certainly recommend this to friends and family as a superb place to unwind and just be. I may even make it back one day! Kind regards and thanks for a wonderful holiday, the batteries are full and ready to action.

Thank you! I loved the Yoga classes, the meditation, and everything else. I definitely think it is a good place for self-discovery. A good combination of spirituality & beauty of nature, nice people, amazingly nice and discreet at the same time and also amazing food. A wonderful experience. I will remember it all my life.
Christele Cervelle, France - March 2007
   
   
These ten days at Shreyas have been a wonderful journey of self- discovery. The staff – those white dressed angels ready to help you every moment - is fantastic. Many thanks to all of you for making my stay here just perfect. Thank you to the teachers, Doctor, Cook, Waiters & Massager … all of you have already a place in my heart. Eva, Indonesia - March 2007
   
   
We had a wonderful time in Shreyas. The place is beautiful & quiet. The food is excellent. The staff is friendly & attentive.Thanks to all of you, for this unforgettable experience.
Marie & Fredric, France - March 2007
   
   
Thank you very much for making our stay very comfortable in the most beautiful and peaceful place. Yoga classes have been very helpful which has given us the incentive to try practicing yoga and meditation on our return home. The evening meals in different set-up and locations were so wonderful with delicious meals everyday. Shreyas is place which gives the most wonderful feeling & relaxation and I will give recommendations to all my friends and family to visit. Once again thanks to all the staff for making our stay very comfortable will visit again. Best wishes and good luck for the future.

Dear Pawan,

We just got home from our travels in India. I just want to tell you that we had a thoroughly wonderful experience @ Shreyas. You, along with the staff, have created a tranquil destination not to be missed by anyone seeking a significant yoga experience.

Please do keep in touch. It would be nice to see you again.
Be well always,
Damir and Anne - February 2007
   
   
A wonderful treat which has unexpectedly come my way – thank you to all the Shreyas staff who have helped to make my stay so restorative, calming and inspirational. 48 hours is far too short a time here in the peaceful oasis so I hope to return again very soon. The food has been delicious and everyone so welcoming: thank you for a slice of magic!
Annie Norton, UK- February 2007
   
   
I have had another wonderful time here at Shreyas. The staff is incredible so kind and attentive. The gardens are beautiful and the evenings when we go for dinner are magical with all the lights and soft music. I wish I could bottle it up and take it home with me.
Thanks for every thing
Love, Tina Schmidt, USA - February 2007
   
   
Thank you to the whole Shreyas team who have created the wonderful Shreyas experience. The integrity of the whole offer is what makes it so special. It’s impeccable, yet I felt so at home. The formality is balanced by the earthly realness of the gardens. The elegance is so comfortable. All the staffs are so sincere and Pawan is an inspiration. I hope I’ll be back soon.
Nina Jenkins, London -- February 2007
   
   
Thank you for your care and attention. This place has truly a spiritual feel about it with its beautiful surrounding, peace and tranquility. It’s a place for growth and understanding of self and one’s God. I will never forget these four days and I pray that I will hold what I have gained spiritually and physically when I pick up the busy pace of life at home.
Your food is delicious and massage dreamy…..
Love,
Margret Chitty - February 2007
   
   
This is truly a magical place. I cannot wait to come back. The staff have been so incredibly kind and attentive and the instructors have re- introduced me to my much neglected practice.
There are so many things I could mention; more over it’s in all the details.
I feel truly revived and ready to face the world again.

With love and thanks,
Tamara - February 2007
   
   
I have been to many yoga retreats around the globe.
There are very few I have the desire to go back to – this is one of the ones I can’t wait to visit again.
Absolute peace and beauty.
Emma Goodhind- February 2007
   
   
I arrived a tired & weary traveler; worn out by the stresses of life and pressures of living. I leave a better person, calm, collected & revived. I am now ready to tackle the future and carry on the practices I have learnt here.
Everything about my stay was fantastic; the setting, the people and the pool.
I will be coming back and look forward to that day. I would recommend Shreyas to anyone & will. Thank you for a great time.
Adam, UK - February 2007
   
   
Theo was a little unsure before we got here as he
1. doesn’t trust tents
2. loves his claret
3. loves his meat
4. has a bad back + has never done yoga.
But he (and I) here both been overwhelmed with how lovely, peaceful, comfortable, well planned + organized, well planted and most of all, well staffed Shreyas is... I don’t do gushing but this place is astounding!
Claire + Theodere Agnew, London - February 2007
   
   
What a blissful few days! I feel utterly relaxed and revived.
The staff is all so kind and caring. I have never been so well looked after.
I am returning home with a very real sense that I might be able to keep up the good work in London… though I will certainly miss the amazing vegetarian food and daily yoga.
It was complete perfection.
Thank you,
Sharon, UK - February 2007
   
   
First of all I would like to express my gratitude to all of the staff that makes this place so very special.
I am sad that I have to leave and that I won’t be able to pack the atmosphere and the FOOD! (And I am not a vegetarian!)
Thank you all for making this a perfect and most relaxing stay!
Irene Bita, Frankfurt - February 2007
   
   
It is the synergy created by every single staff member that makes Shreyas what it is – A heaven on Earth. Thank you for your combined Beauty, Love & Grace.
Namaste & Love
Damir & Anne, Los Angeles - January 2007
   
   
I extend a heartfelt thanks to every single member of the Shreyas family for making my time here so wonderful. The setting is beautiful, the yoga is authentic and the overall energy has left me in awe. I have traveled far and wide in India and can say that of all I have seen, no other place can compare to Shreyas. From the driver who picked me up to the ever present grin on chef’s face to the superb waiter (who I was so happy to see sitting next to me in yoga class), the staff’s attitude and energy makes it clear that they love their work. This love of work is something I will take with me when I leave and I hope to be able to have the same attitude towards my life’s work. Truly, this is a place of all-around excellence and I feel blessed to have spent time here.
All the best & God Bless,
Prince Bhojwani, January 2007
   
   
It is difficult to know how to express my gratitude… My stay here at Shreyas has been full of wonder. I have learned so much from you all about life & work. I hope to carry the same grace, I have seen here with me and to put as much love into my work as you all do. Thank you for your smiles, your care and your excellence. The yoga, the meditation, the chanting, the delicious food, the personal service, the setting, the integrity found here all supported and nourished me, and I am learning with a new perspective on my life. I will see you all again soon. My love and light is with you always.
Joanna, January 2007
   
   
Our stay has been beyond expectations. The website doesn’t reflect quiet how amazing this place is!
We’ve not spent long enough but during our brief stay we have totally relaxed, eaten some fabulous food, have felt extremely well looked after and tried yoga.
All staff have been friendly impeccably presented as the whole place is and we have been looked after with out feeling intruded upon. The whole ambience and appearance is stylish and tranquil and it’s been enjoyable to meet new people too.
Many Thanks,
Sarah & Jonathan, January 2007
   
   
Although I came here to exercise and nothing else, I found myself in the middle of quite a rewarding spiritual experience which I hope to be able to pursue in the near future. Thanks to beautiful and peaceful surroundings, helpful and gracious staff, wonderful cuisine and the right amount of exercise, I go back home full of precious memories and the hope to come back soon.
Bravo!
Marie-Frangoise Morelli, January 2007
   
   
Thank you all so much for a truly special time and for welcoming me so warmly and with such kindness. This is a remarkable and special place and I am sure with your love and devotion it will continue to be for many years come.
I have been enriched and moved by the experience and I am sure on those wet, dreary days in London. I will be filled with the warmth of this place and the words of wisdom from Pawan and Shankar-Ji for many years. I will be back I am sure. Your service to the Divine is both beautiful and inspiring.
With all best wishes,
Helen Loose, January 2007
   
   
I really love what you have created here at Shreyas. Congratulations!

There is a sense of calling and harmony which is consistent throughout.

I have been cannily guided during my short stay to make the most of what Shreyas how to offer, rather than made to feel pressured in anyway. I’ve only skimmed the surface but everyday has been joy. I loved the gardens, the food and of course the yoga - how could you not enjoy the morning classes, when the sun burst through the mist? Heavenly & wonderful place with impeccable service.

Am very reluctant to leave…….
Fleur Sanderson, London - January 2007
   
   
I came to Shreyas with trepidation.
I leave feeling fresher, brighter and more well than I can remember being for a long time.
I have never encountered a more genuinely friendly staff. It was a pleasure to see them every day. I hope to return soon and will be recommending Shreyas to everyone I know. Thank you very much
Faisal Samji, January 2007
   
   
Congratulations on such a fabulous resort!
We have been to many, and this must be in the top five…. The staffs are the true reason for any such place to be successful, and management has tapped into a gold mine of such people. The community approach to employing local staff is to be commended, with everyone going about their work with utmost trust and focus. (Why have locks on doors, as we NEVER once felt we needed to protect our personal belongings!)
The food is fantastic – we encourage you to make a vegetarian cook book… maybe include the cost in the charge and everyone gets to take one home when they leave - what an asset that would be!! We could easily become vegetarians!
Yoga – our first real experience …. And we all loved it - even to where our 23+20 year olds got out of bed early in the morning to attend the classes!! And we have learned a lot from such experiences, that we can take home & practice … so yes, it has been enlightening for us.
We have been amazed at how fast the hours pass, yoga twice a day, meals three times a day, walks around the gardens, massages, and cricket in the nets land how wonderful that the staff come from everywhere to join in the game and be part of the action).
The accommodation is top class & the service amazing everything just happened without us knowing.
So well done in providing such a magical experience …. The word will be spread to many others and we shall be returning again & again with Friends
Thank you!

This was a tranquil, peaceful and restful experience for me. I arrived tired, anxious and with a foggy mind. I am leaving with a relaxed body and mind. My mind is clear and I can see the way forward for me. It has rekindled my interest in yoga and meditation. And through this journey I
have been supported by a fantastic group of new friends.

I have found my sparkle again.
Namaste,
Sue Burrows, January 2007
   
A hidden gem in a stunning location, which has fed both the body and the mind.

The attentiveness of the staff has been beyond exemplary, working like an invisible pair of hands, no trouble too great, and no detail too small. Every meal has been a feast, interspersed with yoga to digest it and banish away the cares of the world. A perfect holiday.

For reasons of a purely selfish nature, I am tempted not to tell anyone just how good “Shreyas” is so that it remains one of those “best kept” secrets amongst the initiated and so that I can return, with ease, time and time again to my own private sanctuary.

With best wishes to you all,
Sonia Chaliha, London - December 2006
   
   
g back’ at the end of the trip. This time things will be different. I won’t be ‘going back’, I will be ‘going forward’ and as I ‘go forward’ I will cherish those who made the experience so complete – the fabulously warm,
attentive, caring staff (including those behind the scenes), the smiling, contented faces of the school children, the yoga teachers & demonstrators, the expert therapy staff – and all the wonderful new friends that I’ve made.

Finally, a comment on the food. Beautifully prepared, diverse menus, lovingly presented at shining table settings. Chef- you are a star.
My mind, body, heart (with stomach or is that soul?) have been well & truly nourished.

Thank you so very much. Love & best wishes,
Ms. Claire- Jane (London), December 2006
   
   
Dear staff at Shreyas,
A big thank you to all and each one of you, for taking such a good care of me. At a difficult moment of my life, your kindness and smile brought warmth, calm and hope to my heart.

This wonderful physical environment is turned into an earthy paradise thanks to you. In my new journey towards happiness, I will always carry Shreyas in my heart and soul.

With peace and love,
Katerina Kyprianou, Greece - November 2006
   
   
Thank you so much for such a relaxing, calming experience. I was very tired & stressed when I arrived and now feel rejuvenated & ready to return to work.

I appreciated all the very discreet attentiveness by the staff and the impeccable attention to detail. The staff responded to any requests we made with a smile & saw it done.

What a wonderful environment… keep taking care of it for us.
I will return...
Liz Sherry – Ireland / Bangalore, Nigel Wood – Ireland - November 2006
   
   
Shreyas has been the best place for me to find myself again- and the time I have spent here has truly been a magical refuge from wherever I call home. The yoga sessions gave me the chance to pay attention to both my mind and body - something that has been neglected for far too long. The food was amazing and the attention and cheerfulness of the staff in one of the great things of Shreyas. It was also much a privilege to have spent Diwali here- to see how the whole place lit up and see it celebrated. Thank you for making my first trip to India amazing and memorable. It will never be forgotten.

Joselina Cruz, Singapore, October 2006
   
   
It was a great pleasure to spend a few days at Shreyas before starting my work in India.

I came alone, but never felt lonely, met nice people, had good massages, great yoga sessions, swam in the perfect pool, but on top of that and because I have been traveling to India very often I would like to tell that the food is really excellent; I think that it is by far the best food ever tasted in India.

Thank you for everything I am sure I will come back, and I wish success for the future of Shreyas.
Annabelle Denton, Switzerland - October 2006
   
   
Thank you for wonderful experience. The whole setting of Shreyas instills an inner calmness & thoughtfulness that has helped me unwind.

The food was fabulous (The chef should write a cookery book), the yoga was stimulating & the massages were invigorating. The chanting was a new experience which I intend to continue.
Thank you to all the staff who make Shreyas a very special place

Best Wishes,
Anne Seiber, UK - October 2006
   
   
My 8th and last day in this little piece of paradise called “Shreyas” and I’m still pinching myself thinking it’s just a beautiful dream I’ll soon wake up from.

I guess I will wake up when I return to the “real world” – my world, but what wonderful memories I shall carry with me, in my head and in my heart. I don’t remember ever feeling so calm, relaxed, focused & comfortable with myself & though a part of me would love to stay here forever, a bigger part of me is now ready to face the challenges ahead & to prove to myself I can keep the momentum going back at home.

I’ve run out of superlatives to describe this place and the gorgeous people who have worked so hard to make my stay so special – I’ve been treated like a queen, & it’s been very humbling.

Pawan, amongst the many insightful things you said, I remember you saying “when you see excellence in action, salute it”.

Well I salute each & every one of you here - Don’t change a thing.
With my love & best wishes,
Rosy Parker-Blair, UK - October 2006
   
   

To everyone & everything the makes Shreyas; ‘Shreyas,’ I don’t think any amount of words can describe my appreciation & thanks to each and everyone who helped me find my FEET and my LEGS to begin my journey of self-discovery. I will be back; this place will have a special place in my heart, as you all will.
Thank you,
Trudy, Brisbane
   
   
We arrived after a long flight from London (and a longer two years) feeling tired, squashed and rather displaced.
Eight days, quantities of good food, beautiful people and healing yoga later, we are leaving with a new zest for life and a true sense of inner peace and wellbeing.
We feel like butterflies from caterpillars!
Thank you all so much for the care and attention you have lavished on us during our stay.
Peace, joy and happiness,
Liz & Phil, London
   
   
I had a wonderful calming and energizing experience here and benefited from being able to have a lengthy stay.
The food was amazing and the setting beautiful and I loved having the opportunity to do yoga twice a day in such a beautiful setting.

With many thanks,
Debra Batey, London
   
   
I am not sure how to articulate my experiences during my stay for 10 days; I need to learn a different vocabulary; the reason being that I have never had such a glorious period. I have emerged from a state of anxiety and confusion to a calmer more secure state where I feel I will be able to observe anxieties + fears in a more detached reasonable way.

I look forward to the future with optimism, secure in the knowledge of what the people and place here has trained me to do/be. My intention is to hang on to the new feelings and build on them.

For this I may have to return for a refresher!!
Mise le meas.

My stay at Shreyas has been so perfect, calm & tranquil. The staff could not been move attentive, and yet so discreet. The food & accommodation is superb, and of course yoga & massages, just what I needed to completely relax and de-stress.

An amazing week I will never forget, and look forward to returning when time allows.

Thank you to all at Shreyas.
Tracy, London
   
   
We have been 100% satisfied with our stay at Shreyas!

The staff has been amazing! It is obvious that there has been loving conscience poured into every corner of the resort. From the beauty of the organic garden, to the fresh flowers scattered throughout the property, we have been swept off our feet by the experience we have received here!

The people of Bangalore and the surrounding villages always welcomed us with their warm smiles and open hearts.
Some of our favorite experiences here at the resort included:

> Planting and harvesting the garden.
> Learning recipes from the chefs
> The delightful swimming pool.
> The gorgeous staff.
> The amazing food and music
> Having the opportunity to serve at the local school.
> Having our every need and desire met.

It could go on forever about the experience of Shreyas…Our stay has been PERFECT! Memories we will cherish!
Clint and Stacy, USA

   
   
After four joy-filled days with my eldest daughter, my thoughts – I haven’t slowed down in so long, it’s probable that I am just letting go of the need for “busyness”, right as I have to leave. The real tribute to Shreyas will be in the change you have initiated in my awareness that I take with me. I am beginning a yoga practice, what an extraordinary way to begin. Imagine the impact of just one person returning to her community with a more balanced, relaxed and thoughtful process….

You are creating ripples around the world! It’s a beautiful place with the beautiful people.
Thank you. When I think of Shreyas I will think of the wind - the breath of heaven – breathing life and spirit…. Will return, eagerly.

Namaste
Elizabeth Kinney, USA
   
   
To all the wonderful staff at Shreyas,

They say you save the best till last… and never has this been truer than after almost 3 weeks traveling around India to arrive at Shreyas, my final destination, and most certainly the best.

Thank you for allowing me to come and experience some of the magic that exists here-The yoga classes, massage, food, pool, service and comforts have been exceptional, and I’m just sorry that my stay had to be so short. I will definitely return (for longer next time) to this Indian paradise and want to thank those who created and gave us this amazing place, Shreyas.

With many thanks & love,
Victoria, London
   
   
Shreyas is the place I have been fantasizing about for the past few months during hard work. I can’t believe it actually exists exactly as I pictured it. I wish everyone had a chance to spend at least week here each year, as it truly is heaven on earth. I could not ask for anything more from a place when in need of some respite.
Thank you
Holly Mosher, Los Angeles
   
   
Thank you all for providing such a beautiful and contemplative setting for my daughter and I not only to reconnect (She lives in India & I live in the USA), but to continue to grow in our spiritual journeys.

We both enjoyed the lovingly prepared – and served – delicious vegetarian cuisine, the meditation and yoga classes, the massages, the “outdoor” shower, and the seemingly endless vistas of tranquil gardens and quaint tented cottages. With gratefulness to each and every member of the staff,
Cecilia & Laura Neuhaus, Texas
   
   
After just 48 hrs I feel like I’ve been relaxing for two weeks! The amazing atmosphere, wonderful food, incredible accommodation and fantastic yoga all add up to an incredible experience – Thank you so much.
I hope to be back!
Caroline, UK
   
   
Your care, sensitivity and grace shines through in all aspects and areas. I feel rested physically and mentally – Thank You! I have particularly enjoyed the yoga classes and will be incorporating this into my routine back home. Treatments, food, my room, the pool, the gardens – all were wonderful. I would love to come back and stay for longer. Thank you to all the staff for your genuine care and attention.
Annette Mastertan, UK
   
   
Thank you all for such a wonderful moment in my life and the life of my grand son.
Shreyas has been an experience beyond anything I have known. The people, the surroundings, food have all been like nothing I’ve ever known.
Thank you for the Temples and Schools. Thank you for allowing me to teach yoga at your retreat.
Thank you most of all for allowing me to teach the children - an experience I would always treasure.
I also thank Nazak for making all this possible.
Suzie, Dorking, UK
   
   
Thank you to everyone here for making this such a wonderful experience. I am grateful for all I have learned in this beautiful place - much of it through the love & caring shown to me by the lovely people here.
To all the staff at Shreyas - I really hope I will see you again.

For now, thank you.

Thank you all for a truly wonderful experience. I came here needing peace after much sadness & stress. I could not have picked a better place; I am refreshed and above all uplifted in body & soul. The setting, the people everything has been first class. I have enjoyed the challenges of the yoga and the daily massages quite wonderful. My few days here have been everything I was looking for and more. Thank You.

To everyone at Shreyas.
Before coming to India for the first time, I had many visions of what the place was like. Whilst I appreciate I have not seen much of India, what I have seen has left me wanting more. I have traveled to many places around the world but have never met such friendly, charming, unobtrusive and helpful staff as at Shreyas. You are all a credit to your country and a great advent of which you all should be proud.
I have had an amazing week and wish it was longer! I now understand my body more and through the whole Shreyas experience will make positive steps forward in my life.
I cannot express enough words of thanks to you all and hope to see you all very soon. Wiith best wishes and take care
Gamal Bemath, London
   
   
Thank you for a superb and delightful stay at your beautiful Retreat. The staff have been charming and attentive, the food excellent and the facilities and ambience outstanding. Unfortunately, we now have to return to the real world…….

To all the staff.
I cannot thank you enough for a most unforgettable stay at beautiful Shreyas. You have made me so welcome and have gone out of your way to be kind and helpful and above all, smiley and utterly charming. This week has surpassed my expectations and I look forward to coming back in 2007. This is a haven in a hectic world and I have learned to be at peace and to enjoy the tranquility. I am taking away so much more than just a rested mind & body. I hope this is the beginning of a new way of life. Thank you from the bottom of my (much healthier) heart. Special mention to the yoga instructor who made it all so fulfilling. Until I see you again next year, I wish u all peace and joy in your lives
With best wishes,
Bonnie Ward, London
   
   
Thanks for the best introduction to India! Shreyas has not just nourished my soul; it has left a print on my heart. Words fail me on expressing my gratefulness.
It is divine intervention that God has blessed you with a staff after your same heart. I am truly moved. Shreyas has been a precious gift to me and as such, I will share it. May God continue to bless you and all your staff for all that you are – and all that you do.

Love from my heart

Thank you for a wonderful few days, which I will never forget. Everything has been excellent, from the yoga classes to the delicious and creative food, the beautiful surroundings and, most of all, the staff – who have been friendly and efficient even in the middle of the night! I wish Shreyas well, and hope to be back before too long.
Debbie Lawson, London
   
You have created an enchanting and magical place.
This has been a wonderful start for the New Year. I had just reached the point in my life where I needed to take stock and decide how I wanted to live the rest of my life.
I found the place, the space, and the beautiful atmosphere just right for this exercise. I have been looked after by all your staff very well and lovingly.
The attention to detail is remarkable. As everyone has said the food tastes so good here and is served with such love. But for me, specially, a casual mention of golgappas, and to eat them the next day was just great!
I would like to take the smells and sounds of this place with me. Try and bottle them for those of us who live (if it can be called living) in cities where you can’t think. With much love and many thanks to all the staff.
Rani Atma, London - January 2006
   
   
An interesting concept, well executed with great attention to detail in furnishings and presentation. Thank you to all the wonderful staff who were exceptional in their kindness, charm and discreet service. We enjoyed our massages and yoga very much – absolutely delicious food - more emphasis on your website about the organic garden and the walks.
Love,
Bridget Shirley, UK
   
   
A huge thank you to all the staff at Shreyas for making my stay so enjoyable. Pawan, thank you for having the vision to create Shreyas.
I cannot imagine anywhere else where I would fine peace and motivation to start my own road to ‘Self-discovery.’
And lastly, thank you for the hospitality, fun and laughter.
Nita Sowerbutts, London
   
   
Thank you to all your wonderful staff who make this magical place an even more enjoyable stay!!
The retreat is so overwhelming to the soul. Definitely a must come to rejuvenate, or even relax and unwind your whole self. So uplifting!
I'll be taking a piece of Shreyas back with me. This has been the BEST experience (and also my first time to India) and I know I will be back, and even more flexible then too!
Insha Allah.
Camilla, UK
   
   
What a surprise to find such a nourishing and luxurious experience, quite different from anywhere I have been before. I will take a lot away from my stay here and look forward immensely to coming back and watching Shreyas grow. A real spa for the soul.

While it was a last minute booking, this does not feel like a last minute place. This has probably been the most relaxing two days of my life! While I was here alone, I never felt alone & I definitely got in touch with a few parts of myself. I haven’t seen in a while. I hope to return for a longer visit next time. I wish you all the best with Shreyas and thank you so much to all the staff- definitely exceeded all my expectations on every front.
Carly, Sydney
This is one of the most beautiful retreats I have visited serene, calm and breathtakingly beautiful. The people around make you fell so very comfortable. Certainly would like to come back for a longer time.Thanks for the caring hospitality.
Parineeta Sethi, Asia Spa India
Thank you all so much for a wonderful stay. I feel enormously privileged to have spent the last 5 days here with you. I have never paid so much attention to my breathing nor stretched so much, & it has certainly been a long time since I have taken the space & time to really relax & you have certainly provided the environment for that…

I arrived tired & stressed with a busy mind – I leave calm, relaxed with a clear mind. I thank you for your amazing hospitality, attention to detail, fine, fine cooking & for guiding me that little bit further on my own personal journey. Until the next time…

Shreyas feels like heaven! Although the place is outstandingly beautiful, it is the people that are the most special. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, wisdom and insight. Thank you to everyone for all that you have given to me over the past week. This has been the most incredible experience. I will be forever grateful & you will all be forever in my heart and mind.
Wish you love & peace, Bobby - England

Frustrated, harassed, tired – how I arrived, but I leave enriched, reenergized, refreshed. Shreyas challenges you to experience yourself, to discover a little of yourself and enjoy that person. As always the people of Shreyas have been wonderfully warm and teachers of humility- Thank you.

It's been the most memorable days in your beautiful and peace zone. We just love it. Thank you.

    A little ‘gem’ tucked away in the middle of India, Shreyas is a perfect setting for almost any kind of personal growth journey, but most of all enhanced by the care and consideration shown by the staff. They have been impeccable! Truly Shreyas' greatest asset. Congratulations to the management & staff for creating such an inspiring ‘space’.

A real oasis ... This beautiful retreat provides profound peace calm and healing. A space to enable us to get in touch with our true selves, our real nature. Many thanks to everyone, especially the extraordinarily attentive staff. Actually this place is beyond words…
With Prem and OM,

The accommodation is excellent, very comfortable and it was obvious that a great attention to detail had been paid; I particularly liked the fact that there was no TV in the room. The staff was a real credit to the name of Shreyas - excellence themselves. Very inspiring.

Thank you creating this peaceful heaven. I have had a truly magical time here. It has helped me jumpstart my entry into yoga and meditation which I plan to continue doing back in Bombay. Every small thing has been thought about and provided.
Namaste and good luck.

    Came to know of “Shreyas” from an article in a Travel magazine.
It was our 15th wedding anniversary. We decided to take a “chance” to spend a weekend together at Shreyas, not knowing & having heard from anybody else about it… & what a wonderful decision it was. It was one of our best wedding anniversaries spent together.
A place worth recommending to others!!!
The staff is excellent, taking care of all guests & everything which belongs to this place as their own home.

Bangalore needs more such places to unwind & relax. You have a wonderful place – well conceived, planned and executed. The maintenance and upkeep is top class. What we liked best were the standards of hygiene and cleanliness, the spotlessly the maintained rooms and the courteous and friendly staff all over the place.
We will definitely re-visit as we were here just for a day.
ALL THE BEST.

Shreyas is a place for any body who wants to connect to their inner self. Exotic settings, warmth from each one attending to us just added to the experience.

Well, all we can say is a warm thank you to all- from the ones who planted the trees to the ones who keep our rooms spic & span.
Thank you,

Within an hour of arriving – all my stress & tension moved away and I was overcome with an amazing sense of calm…
It is beautiful here & I will be delighted to tell all my friends that just an hour outside of Bangalore…awaits an experience of a lifetime.

Although our stay was brief, Shreyas’ magic provided the comfort we needed.
Shreyas superseded all expectations and will be on top of our recommended list of places to stay outside Bangalore. Only satisfied people can deliver service this outstanding. (You must be doing something right.)

Congratulations on providing an aesthetically beautiful experience.
Gratefully,

Words are inadequate to describe Shreyas. It’s really a very beautiful place. The atmosphere and the environment both are very cool. It was a surprise from my husband (Nitin) and I enjoyed being here on my birthday. The food was very good. At night, we enjoyed the candle night dinner. The service is very good. The tents are very nice and clean. We are really impressed with Shreyas. I would like to come again shortly.
Thank you very much

My daughters,who were here with my wife strongly recommended that I must come to Shreyas for 2 or 3 days minimum. I am glad I listened to them. It was a wonderful experience – so peaceful and relaxing and a lovely place to unwind. Staff is excellent and go out of the their way to please. Food is fantastic too. We will return.

Shreyas was a wonderful experience, with a dash of ethnicity. A very fine balance of natural ethnic experience coupled with a very modern, comfortable ambience. Meals are a welcome change from big hotels and resorts. Simple, wholesome, healthy, tasty and had a taste of home. The way the meals were served was also very good.

The infrastructure is very good, and comparable to any five start resort/ hotel chain. It doesn't get much better than this!
Rajeev, Mumbai
   
  This has been everything I’d hoped to find in a retreat, and much, much more; Tranquility, clear night sky to see the moon & stars, terrific yoga instruction, delicious food, great intro to firsthand cricket, heavenly scrub & massage, wonderful guidance in relaxation, meditation and lovely people working here.
An unforgettable experience.

    Shreyas is much needed in TODAY’S MADDENNING WORLD!!!
We came here when we much needed it in our life and it really helped all of us de-stress. The massages are superb! The food is absolutely delicious!!! Never knew vegetarian food could be this delicious!!! Compared with this is your incredible staff courtesy - genuineness and a real desire to please. The peace/joy abounds literally from the moment we touch down here. Superb ambience, lovely music, awesome theater, Jacuzzi, steam and most of all the haven which gives us all place to just be. Thank You

Not good, not brilliant but magnificent!!!
The ambience, the rooms, the food, the service, the massage - nothing could have been a little better.
Fantabulous place. We are addicted and will look forward to coming here again & again & again.
Special thanks to all those who made our stay memorable. Amazing service! A very spiritual experience in terms of peace/service/class. This place exudes class. I am coming back…

What can I say? This is paradise! But even though Shreyas represents the epitome of luxury and beauty, to me it has also given a sense of humility, a touch of nature, and most of all put me in touch with beautiful people. I’ve never come across such willing and gracious hosts – thank you Pawan, Rucha, K.P, and all the staff! You all made our stay more than comfortable! Sometimes when you come into a place of paradise and discover yourself, the impact the people who have served you and helped you discover your journey play such an important role, even though people say you have to be on your own. The huts were absolutely comfortable and most of all I enjoyed the yoga and meditation practice in the little hut area. I will surely be back and hope to make this a regular weekend/monthly trip.

    I could think of no better place than Shreyas to move along my spiritual path. The energy of this place lends itself so completely to one’s inner journey. In the year and a half that I have been frequenting Shreyas so much has changed about my life and also that of my family –all for the better. I thank the entire team at Shreyas for making this possible.

Best regards and much luck for future

    I loved this place! Tranquility, nature, quiet, service, comfort, and personalization - all contributed to an amazingly great experience for me (and I know my team!) Modernity combined with the old is a wonderful blend here. People were attentive and unobtrusive, when privacy was needed - and delivered at all times. Quality & attention to detail in rooms, Environment, Décor and the food was out of the world.
I definitely will recommend & I know several of us plan to come back. A++

The ambience at Shreyas is excellent; quiet & peaceful. One can see the makings of a nice idyllic English countryside! What one is struck by is the immense attention to detail that has gone into the planning & execution. The service is impeccable - very unobtrusive and out-of-the ordinary. Makes one feel very special. The vegetarian meals are delicious; the cook(s) deserve special mention.
The recreation facilities are impressive. The bowling machine shoots right at the mark in this cricket crazy country.
Kaushal, Mumbai
   
    Thank you so much for such a splendid time. The staff was outstanding. The instructors wisdom was such a joy to hear. Regained some of my lost self. The place is unbelievable, so close to Bangalore. Look forward to spending some quality time here. Thank you for your warm hospitality.

Nothing has relaxed & calmed me like Shreyas. I hate to leave & long to be back. Shreyas will become our anchor soon. The clarity & wisdom of Shankarji is sheer joy to experience. This is a haven – a dream place which hopefully will be a part of our lives – I want my family to experience this.
Shernaz, Mumbai
   
    I have experienced a pleasant stay with new experiences. The serene and scenic atmosphere at Shreyas is quite enjoyable. I congratulate the management for the staff and appreciate the efforts behind the same. I also thank all the staff members for their prompt and courteous service.
