Tsila Israel, Australia - 12th January, 2025

I am so sad to leave this place! Yes, all the treatments, food, and classes were outstanding. What made this place feel like home was the people/the team of Shreyas. They absolutely went out of their way to nurture me. I got sick with a bad cold when I arrived (after travelling in India for two weeks). The team here took such good care of me round the clock, without any expectations, from the cleaning services to the medical services (and the list is long – the people who hold the flashlight at night to show the way, the amazing kitchen staff and chefs, the different teachers, and the garden staff who pick the falling leaves, and the wellness centre staff.) All had shining smiles and shining lights in their faces! I am truly so touched by the souls of this place that makes it truly divine and holy. Wishing all of you many blessings and deep gratitude for your love and care. This is not greedy but rather shalom – peace – we will see each other again, God willing. Much love.

Mitesh & Neetu, USA - 4th February, 2025

We are very fortunate to have found Shreyas Retreat. We came here seeking to deepen our yoga practice. Shreyas met our expectations and far exceeded them. The holistic approach of combining Ayurvedic treatments and massages, meditation, spiritual chanting, and, of course, top-notch yoga instructions and assistance within a beautiful environment is what makes the experience feel unique, authentic, and complete. We are leaving ultimately relaxed, and we will definitely return again and again. Congratulations on successfully running this retreat for so long. We wish you much more success for many years to come. Peace and love to you all.

Khurram, Germany - 6th March, 2025

Over the last 21 days, Shreyas truly healed me. I came straight from the hospital in Berlin after a major surgery where the doctors had advised me 3 months of bed rest, and already in 3 weeks I am able to do 2 yoga sessions a day, completely pain free! Starting with the doctor duo Dr Satish and Dr Akhil, the spiritual teacher (guru) Mr Bala, who gave me a new soulful path in my new life, the yoga teachers (masters) Ramakant, Rita and Mani, who mobilised me to the expert therapists Mathew, Sudeep, Robin and Arun, who give the best massages and the most pain-free enemas in the world, and the healthy kitchen with the best service I ever had with Dinesh and Santosh serving me with love and utmost care all day, every day – thank you, thank you, thank you! And thank you, Rucha, for being so prompt with accommodating me and managing my mom’s emotions. You have a great balance between spirituality, healing, hospitality and food! The best in the world!

Eleni, Greece & UK - 21st February, 2023

Dear Shreyas team, from the first moment, the relaxed and serene ambience was very calm and fantastic. The grounds, the wellness centre staff, the kitchen staff, the service/maintenance people and the yoga tutors and doctors – all of you are amazing and very polite. I had the pleasure of receiving treatments that helped me overcome health problems that I had for a long time, even some troubles that bothered me for decades. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for looking after me so well and bringing such unbelievable results in improving my health condition. I wish you to thrive and shine in all possible ways, and teach the yoga way of life to many more people.

Miti & Mehul, UK - 23rd January, 2022

To our Shreyas Family, This is our 6th visit to Shreyas and our longest one (28 nights!). Cannot express in words how much we have enjoyed and have been so, so happy to have been here – a home from home. The love and care of each and every staff member here has been immeasurable: not only from the guest-facing staff but also from those working behind the scenes. Collectively, they make up Shreyas. Nothing goes unnoticed to serve the guests here. ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’ comes to mind, where the guests are treated like gods. It would be difficult to mention each and every one of you individually because there are so many of you serving every individual guest. This is a place where there is teamwork at play. Motivational Ayurveda doctors and their team made the Panchakarma treatment extremely easy for me. Everything was explained to me methodically, and the whole process went smoothly. He listened, and he answered. Was reassured at every stage with utmost care, love, patience and attention. No task was too big for the team, which included the therapists, the chefs and everyone involved behind the scenes. Your deepest gratitude to the doctors and the team; without them, these treatments would not have been possible.

And of course, our deepest gratitude to all the kitchen staff who are working behind the scenes in the kitchen. And to the creative chefs who checked in on us to make sure that everything was okay and that our taste buds were satisfied with mouthwatering dishes in abundance, to comply with everyone’s needs. To the trusted therapists who worked tirelessly on our therapies and treatments every single day. You are all truly very gifted; your healing touch touched us and made a huge difference. To All the Yoga and Meditation Teachers: Our deepest gratitude for your amazing classes and all your teachings, care and attention in each and every class. It is difficult when there is such a high turnover of guests with different abilities, but you skilfully guided everyone according to their needs.

Roopa Girard, London - 2nd June, 2022

What an amazing stay I have had. Thank you, Shreyas, for a unique and healing experience. Will be back soon. Most importantly, I was suffering from a frozen shoulder and even had to take steroid injections for the pain, and the yoga classes with Rita and others and the wonderful treatment by the in-house naturopathy doctor have miraculously healed my shoulder in a short span of two and a half days. Something none of the specialists, even in London, could do. I will continue with the stretches, of course, but thank you so very much. All the best to everyone here.

Majella Healy, Dubai - 23rd August, 2022

Dear Shreyas staff, I cannot thank you enough for making my stay here so enjoyable. As an absolute novice with no knowledge of yoga or meditation, I leave here knowing I will continue to practise both. From the moment I arrived, I have been made to feel comfortable and welcomed – I now see Shreyas as my home away from home. Dr Manjula, thank you for being such an amazing person and doctor and for answering all of my questions and concerns. You made me believe that I can continue this new way of living when I return home. To all the Yoga and meditation teachers, you had a huge challenge with me, but you always made me try and push myself a little further each day! To all the lovely therapists working in the wellness centre, thank you for being so caring and always looking after me so well. I left every day feeling like I was walking on the clouds. To the chefs, kitchen staff, and wait staff, I still wonder how you can make vegetables taste so amazing. I really enjoyed the cooking class and promise to send photos of my kitchen masterpieces! I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for this life-changing experience, and I look forward to seeing you all again next year. Best wishes and lots of love.

Benedict & Generose, Tanzania - 10th October, 2022

Our beloved Shreyas Team, Namaste! It was indeed a wonderful 14 days of relaxation. We are grateful for the services from the reception, caretakers, kitchen attendants, therapists, room attendants and gardeners. We are very thankful to the doctors who have taken us through the health and treatment advice, and the way we can continue with good health and a better lifestyle after returning home. The yoga sessions have been very helpful; the instructors are excellent and very professional, and we thank them very much. The wellness centre team and the environment are unforgettable! We will also be grateful to our lovely friend, who is the lady who is taking care of the garden and calves; she is very friendly. Last but not least, we thank the management staff for making sure that our stay has been so comfortable and safe. As mentioned earlier, this is not my first time here at Shreyas. It was because of the good memories that I decided to come back with my sister. I should say that the environment has always been wonderful, well-maintained, to provides the best relaxation. Congratulations! Goodbye and stay blessed.
