An activity that our guests have really enjoyed is spending time on rice paddy, agricultural and herb gardens, where you get an opportunity to get your hands and feet dirty and truly commune with nature. Feel your stresses disappear as you become one with nature.

If you would like to learn the Sacred Chants from our scriptures and delve into the Indian philosophical tradition, you can join the classes at one of the traditional huts by the lawns.

If you are interested in deepening your knowledge and practice of Yoga, you are welcome to meet our Wellness Consultant who would then arrange for a private Yoga session for your specific requirement and level of expertise. Depending on your choice of sessions, they can explain the various therapeutic as well as spiritual benefits of all physical postures, breathing techniques and various meditations.

Lunch is a relaxed affair, set in the dining hall providing an opportunity for all our guests to interact with each other. If you wish to left alone then our Service staff would be glad to help you with a private sitting. The menu is almost always a welcome surprise - from refreshing cold or hot soups, crunchy green and other exotic vegetable salads, lightly creamed pastas made with extra virgin olive oils, lasagnes, to various Indian vegetarian dishes cooked by chefs who bring their experience and expertise from all parts of India and their travels across the world. You will truly be surprised with the variety of vegetarian food that is available at the retreat. For guests interested in recreating some of our recipes at home,our cookbook, "Soul Food" is available for purchase. "Soul Food" is a treasury of Shreyas' much loved and appreciated multi-cuisine recipes and has been inspired by the repeated requests of our guests.

Please note that only vegetarian cuisine is served at Shreyas and alcohol is neither served nor permitted at Shreyas.

The afternoon is yours to spend as you wish; to rest, read, watch a movie or come back to the pool. The beautiful garden cottages and poolside cottages are air conditioned, and our garden cottages have a unique open bathroom that leads into your own private courtyard. You can take books from our library to your room, sip from the herbal teas provided in your room, and spend the afternoon reading in your private veranda overlooking the lush green gardens.

Night transforms Shreyas into an ethereal retreat - softly glowing candles, soothing music in the background, the gentle lapping of water in the infinity pool and the sound of nature all around. Join the other guests for dinner in the dining room, or alfresco in the lawns. You can choose to eat with a larger group or on your own. The gourmet vegetarian meals at Shreyas vary everyday - from local delicacies to mouth watering “tandoori” (clay baked) cuisine to varied continental dishes - all made from ingredients organically grown and freshly picked from our fields. You can choose not to have our freshly made desserts such as eggless chocolate cake, cream tarts and various Indian delicacies. In fact, we live the moral code of Yoga – eat well, but in moderation, practice Yoga and exercise, and live life completely.

Occasionally, we organise local and foreign classical musical and dance recitals in our amphitheatre. You can also request our staff to take you to a neighbouring village to witness the festivities of the numerous spiritual and cultural events that take place each month.

Wind up your day in our state of the art home theatre that has over 500 movies for your viewing pleasure. Nestle in the luxurious comfort of “lazy boy” chairs and your favourite movie, this is every movie buff’s delight! But try not to sleep late for you have an early start tomorrow…!!
