Shreyas Retreat, India
There is more to Shreyas than Ayurveda, as this spiritual destination retreat nestled in
lush gardens one hour north-west of Bangalore is renowned for its soul nurturing silent
retreats bringing some much-needed stillness to busy minds. However, if Ayurveda is on
the agenda then you are in the right place too with a team of skilled experts on hand and a
comprehensive menu of Ayurvedic programmes and therapies to cleanse and reboot both
body and mind. Only 25 guests can be accommodated in cossetting canopied cottages
with yoga pavilions and meditation huts and fragrant frangipani trees dotting the verdant
25-acre retreat. Days can be spent in meditative stillness or enjoying various yoga classes,
the freshest organically grown vegetarian cuisine, the guidance of highly trained Ayurvedic
practitioners and private arati offerings at the village temple. http://www.shreyasretreat.com
