Located on the outskirts of bustling Bengaluru (35km), Shreyas is the complete antidote to the fast paced city life. The countryside location, away from the main city allows for easy access as well as a sense of remoteness. The retreat is adjacent to a village. The slow stride meets you even before you enter the premises. Of course, once inside the retreat, the lush surrounds and soothing vibe embrace you immediately.
The slowness is deliberate. It urges guests to slow down and look inwards to align the rhythms of heart, mind, body and soul. It promises a lavish wellness break with Ayurveda, Yoga and meditation practices at the core. The backdrop of a village and the comforts of an international retreat make it a unique place to align these different worlds. It is essential to stay for at least one night to experience the warm personalised service and carefully tailored programmes of naturopathy, yoga, Ayurveda, Panchakarma and rejuvenation treatments. ‘Stunning simplicity’ is how one of the guests described the experience – we couldn’t have said it any better. The smallest attention to detail – like flipping the direction of your slippers to the side you can wear when you come out of a common area – evokes a smile every single time.
The soothing nature ensconced rooms of Shreyas blend in well with the natural surrounds. The rooms are themed modern mid-century that open into gardens, with ample facilities and amenities, and the tented cottages have a view of a wide stretch of green. The plush tented cottages are most in-sync with nature, with large doors and windows to let plenty of fresh air in. They are furnished exactly like the rooms in modern minimal aesthetics. The other parts of the retreat also have a common accomplice at all times – nature. The bright big pool fringed by the frangipani trees is a visual pause for the eye.
The thatched roofed sprawling yoga and exercise pavilions are created to ensure that nature’s hand is close. The dining experience also melds with the green environs, with evening set-ups by the pool.
The poolside rooms and garden cottages, and a 3-bedroom cottage offer urban but earthy luxury, keeping furnishing and fixtures to a minimum. The rooms are definitely nature-plugged; whether it is open verandas of the garden cottages or the poolside ambience of the rooms. The 3-bedroom cottage also overlooks a bright green garden. Poolside rooms are non-smoking and are on ground level so there is easy access for wheelchairs. Each room is air-conditioned, has an overhead fan, tea and coffee making machines, though technology ends here as there is a ‘no TV’ policy throughout Shreyas. The large, ensuite bathrooms, airy and well-lit are a delight with signature bath and toilet amenities. There are showers rather than bathtubs and hair dryers and heaters are available on request.
Community dining is a deliberate part of the experience. Guests are encouraged to dine together in the central dining rooms or often served out in the garden or the poolside under starry skies amidst softly lit candles. Food preferences are carefully catered to different needs and therapies that a guest might have signed up for. Menus are carefully planned to fit in with the overall wellness programs, hence vegetarianism couple with a strict no-alcohol and no-smoking policy. Menus include Indian, Continental and limited Oriental cuisine using as much of local produce from the farm as possible.
A collection of Shreyas Yoga Retreat’s organic, vegetarian menu – a mix of north and south Indian, Sri Lankan and oriental cuisines is compiled in a book called Soul Food, a popular take away of the guests who stay here. Personalized cooking sessions and the history of Indian cuisine with a focus on nutrition is one of the most popular 7 days packages of the retreat. A field trip to a local vegetable market and grocery shops is a veritable highlight.
