Shreyas Retreat in Detail

Your Ayurveda, Naturopathy & Yoga Retreat

Located about 35 kilometers from the gates of Bangalore, Shreyas Retreat is a secluded sanctuary that combines luxury and community, timelessness and modernity, pleasure and sustainability. "Shreya" means "the fortunate" - the retreat integrates the principles of Ayurveda, naturopathy, and Yoga on 25 acres, offering a comprehensive journey of self-discovery and rejuvenation. Its location at the southern end of the Deccan Plateau at about 900 meters ensures a pleasant climate almost all year round.

Location & Climate

Bangalore is situated approximately 3,000 feet above sea level and enjoys a pleasant climate throughout the year. During the summer months from March to May, temperatures range between 22°C and 33°C. Although there is a brief spike in heat around noon, the lush greenery in Shreyas helps to mitigate the heat. The monsoon season lasts from June to September with temperatures ranging between 20°C and 28°C. While occasional showers may occur during the day, the majority of rainfall typically happens in the late nights. Between December and February, temperatures fluctuate between 18°C and 28°C. The days are sunny and pleasant, with the lowest temperatures typically observed in the late evening and early morning hours. Shreyas becomes a popular destination for many guests in winter, especially because of its mild and pleasant climate. Each season has its own charm: the monsoon season offers a green and fresh landscape and is excellent for Ayurvedic treatments, while summer is adorned with blooming trees and flowers. Overall, Shreyas presents a diverse and enticing climate, making it an ideal destination all year round.

Dining & Leisure

Shreyas delights you with fresh, vegetarian gourmet cuisine, primarily using ingredients from its own organic garden. The soul food kitchen is based on Ayurvedic principles, offering detoxifying and regenerating benefits while also highlighting a wide range of Indian specialties such as South Indian, North Indian, Tandoori, and grilled dishes. Meals are enjoyed communally in the dining room or garden (with an option for a communication table), and dietary recommendations are provided for at home. The dishes vary according to the prescribed dietary plan. Options include vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, low-calorie, and raw food.

Philosophy

"Athithi devo bhava" is the guiding philosophy at Shreyas, translating to "The guest is God" in English. It's an Indian maxim highlighting the appreciation and hospitality towards guests.

At Shreyas, this philosophy is deeply embraced as we believe that "all beings are fundamentally divine" and that our relationships with one another, especially with our guests, should reflect this. Our guests are lovingly served by a team that practices yoga and strives to embody this philosophy, offering unparalleled personal attention. The staff is encouraged to serve guests as part of their spiritual discipline, not merely as a job or career; serving is different from being subservient, as the focus is on connecting with the divinity within each guest.

The Shreyas Team

With a dedicated team of 80 individuals, including doctors, yoga instructors, therapists, chefs, and various specialists, Shreyas offers an intimate and enriching experience due to its limited guest capacity. 75% of the team have remained loyal to the guests since Shreyas was founded in 2004. This blend of expertise and dedication makes Shreyas a unique retreat.

Kaveri Vanita Sevashrama Orphanage

Since 2007, Shreyas has been a proud supporter of the Kaveri Vanita Sevashrama Orphanage. Currently, about 50 children living in the orphanage attend various grades. With the support of guests, Shreyas contributes to financing the education of these children until they find employment. Several young women from KVS have successfully completed their education and are now employed in the city. As a guest, you are welcome to assist in harvesting vegetables, herbs, and fruits or preparing meals for the orphanage. Simply speak to the team on-site for more information.
