Our philosophy
“Athithi devo bhava” is the guiding philosophy at Shreyas and means “the guest is God”. It is an Indian maxim that emphasises the appreciation and hospitality shown to guests.
“At Shreyas, this philosophy is deeply ingrained because we believe that ‘all people are divine at their core’ and that our relationships with one another, especially with our guests, should reflect this. Our guests are cared for with warmth and unrivalled personal attention by a team who practise yoga and strive to embody this philosophy. Team members are encouraged to serve guests as part of their spiritual discipline, rather than seeing it simply as a job or career. Serving is not the same as being subservient: the emphasis is on connecting with the divinity within every guest.”
The Shreyas team
With a dedicated team of 80 people, including doctors, yoga teachers, therapists, chefs and other specialists, Shreyas offers an intimate and enriching experience thanks to its limited guest capacity. 75% of the team have been with the guests since Shreyas was founded in 2004. This combination of expertise and dedication makes Shreyas a truly distinctive retreat.
Kaveri Vanita Sevashrama children’s home
Shreyas has been a proud supporter of the Kaveri Vanita Sevashrama children’s home since 2007. Around 50 children currently live at the orphanage and attend different year groups. With the support of its guests, Shreyas helps fund their education until they find employment. Several young women from KVS have completed their education successfully and are now working in the city. As a guest, you are welcome to help harvest vegetables, herbs and fruit, or prepare meals for the children’s home. Simply speak to the team on site if you would like to get involved.

Shreyas resort is the most amazing resort, hidden among the crazy dusty streets of rural Bengaluru. The yoga and massages were amazing, the food heavenly. The staff held us gently in the palms of their hands to make us feel like family. We were so sad to leave. Our bodies feel healed and rested for the return to the crazy world.
Hotel
A peaceful oasis. The bird song greeted us every morning. It is a beautiful place.
Service
The staff stop what they are doing to greet you genuinely. They are available for your every need. What lovely people.
Treatments
The doctors listened and gave us what we needed. The diversity of treatments was wonderful.

Ursprüngliche Hatha-Yoga Erfahrung in wunderschönem, kleinen Retreat mit sehr persönlicher und aufmerksamer Betreuung, in der alle die extra mile für den Gast machen
Hotel
Zeltbungalows und Cottages in palmenbewachsenem Gelände
Service
Von den zahlreichen Gärtnerinnen, YogalehrerInnen, TherapeutInnen und Köchen war die Betreuung individuell und alle waren stets darum bemüht, jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen
Treatments
Die Therapeutinnen waren sehr aufmerksam. Traditionell-moderne Räume, vor jeder Behandlung beten sie kurz.
Food
Frische vegetarische Kost, aus dem eigenen Biogarten, ergänzt durch täglich auf dem Markt besorgtes Gemüse und Früchte
Wellness area
Ayurveda wird sehr ernst genommen. Was wir auch erst verstehen mussten: es ist kein Wellness, sondern eine indische, ärztlich überwachte und für den Körper anspruchsvolle Kur. Man kann aber auch ein unkompliziertes Wellnessprogramm buchen.
