| Why
have you called the placed “Shreyas”?
In the Indian tradition, Shreyas is interpreted as “all round excellence”, the manifestation of which is the purpose for which our lives have been given to us. Shreyas is inherent within us and is to be achieved through harnessing, refining and purifying our body/mind energies and spiritualizing our actions & emotions, thereby allowing the divine qualities within to shine forth. At Shreyas, we are dedicated to enabling you to achieve this by catalyzing your thinking process with inputs from the Indian Spiritual tradition. |

What is the “Journey of self-discovery”? In the Indian tradition of Yoga, life is considered to be a journey of experiences that leads us to discover Shreyas inherent within us. If you are looking to spend some time reflecting and connecting with your inner core, we provide a sacred space for you and structure your stay with dedicated yoga classes, rejuvenation and relaxing massages, light, but wholesome vegetarian food, guided meditation sessions, mouna (silence) and karma yoga (working with a selfless attitude) hours. Yoga classes at Shreyas are based on classical Hatha yoga & combined with Pranayama (breathing related) and Pratyahara (internalisation) processes drawn from the Yoga Sutras – an ancient yogic doctrine that aims to integrate our body, mind, heart and souls for complete living. There is no dogmatic religion practiced at Shreyas and people of all faiths are welcome. All programs & yoga classes are conducted by Inner Challenges, the life-coaching company dedicated to applying the wisdom of the Vedas and Indian spiritual tradition to enrich the professional and personal lives of our guests. |

| Can a corporate conduct retreats and off sites at Shreyas? Clearly, we are not the venue for a typical sales and marketing offsite. However, we are ideal for a small team of senior executives to conduct their residential strategy meets in a quiet and serene environment. With the advantage of being 1 hour's drive from Bangalore city, Shreyas offers the time-challenged executive a home away from home. Corporations may rent the entire property and its facilities for its exclusive use, providing an incredible setting for their teams or clients to relax, unwind and work effectively without distraction. We also offer flexible programmes depending on your corporate requirements. If you’d like to use the retreat for your own conferences or workshops, we would be happy to provide the infrastructure required - conference rooms, LCD projectors, broadband internet and more. Your programs can be appended with yoga classes, wellness and "stress management" modules, a somewhat different approach to the traditional “hard days” meetings followed by heavy drinking and partying. If you are planning an outdoor / outbound training programme, why not work with us to structure learning activities that can be played out over the vast expanse of land available at Shreyas. Whatever be your fancy, we are sure that you will be able to take back something useful from Shreyas. Whether it’s a deeper understanding of your colleagues, a resolution of the issue at hand, greater awareness of nature, clarity of thought, a new direction at work or simply a refreshing change from the familiar, you will definitely see the benefits of a retreat at Shreyas. |
