Shreyas : A Spiritual Retreat

Shreyas is very inspired by the Indian spiritual practice of looking deep within the Self for answers to questions of existence and being. We are dedicated to helping our guests achieve a perfect balance in body, mind and spirit, through the medium of Yoga, which is non denominational and open to people of all faiths. We demonstrate through our various customised packages and retreats that contrary to popular belief - Yoga can be practiced by everyone. Yoga has an amazing effect on our body and mind energies allowing us to deal with life's bouquets and brickbats with sense of equanimity. We appeal to those who wish to understand/familiarise themselves with the philosophical tradition of India, without necessarily delving into its organised religious aspects.

 
 



Spread over 25 acres of landscaped gardens, the architecture and interiors are a seamless confluence of traditional and the modern - tiled roofs, antique doorways and stone pillars give way to contemporary interiors and state of the art facilities. Shreyas is an environmentally friendly retreat and care has been taken to retain the original landscape and natural beauty of the place. Every effort has been made to preserve the precious natural resources with initiatives such as rain water harvesting, solar heating, ayurvedic and medicinal herb plantations, organic farming and organic waste disposal. All meals served at Shreyas are made from organically grown ingredients freshly hand-picked from its 20 acres of fields.

Shreyas is one hours drive from Bangalore International airport, and approximately one and a half hours drive from Bangalore city.

COMMUNITY SERVICE EXERCISES

At Shreyas, guests have an opportunity to experience the real India as we take them to the local villages and provide them an opportunity to serve the local school children and their families in organized feeding exercises. Guests are encouraged to perform the entire gamut of activity required to organize the feed. For example, sourcing the vegetables and herbs, cutting and cooking the food (assisted and supervised by our team of chefs), transporting the food in tractors, cleaning and preparing the area where the school children are fed, and finally feeding them. This exercise which is known as “Seva” or Service is an alchemy for transmuting negative emotions such as arrogance into humility, sympathy & indifference into empathy & compassion, and anger into love.

If guests choose to, they can contribute to help meet their requirements such as stationery, uniforms etc. as well as providing infrastructure needs like rain water harvesting, digging bore wells, boundary walls etc.

 

 
     


·
Home Theatre: A large selection of movies, documentaries on spirituality, science, nature and philosophy are available for your viewing pleasure.

·
TV: The facilities and activities at Shreyas are designed to encourage reflection on what is most important - your life. We therefore hope you will not miss the presence of a TV in your room.

·
Cricket nets and bowling machine: For cricket enthusiasts, we have a cricket net along with a professional bowling machine they can test their batting skills against.
