Yoga With Sheena & Shreyas presents :
A 7-night luxury retreat in Bangalore, India.
15th -22nd October 2027
For years I’ve dreamed of holding a yoga retreat in India, the sacred birthplace of Yoga.
And there is nowhere more perfect for this than Shreyas Retreat in Bangalore.
Rated as one of the Top Ten Yoga Retreats in the world, Shreyas is a member of Relais & Chateaux, a collection of the finest hotels and restaurants worldwide.
For me though, it’s not just the beautiful grounds, exceptional facilities, world-class treatments and gourmet food that make it truly stand out.
It’s the people, the values, and the spirit of the place.

Every guest who comes to Shreyas is seen as a divine being, and this philosophy shines through the warmth, personal care and attention you receive during your stay.
From the moment you arrive every little detail is taken care of so that you can truly switch off, relax and immerse yourself fully in your retreat experience.

Having visited Shreyas many times over the past 16 years, I know first-hand how truly special this place is.

What to expect…
Hatha Yoga
Every morning, you’ll begin your day with a grounding traditional Hatha Yoga practice, designed to bring a sense of calm and balance to both your mind and body.
Expect a beautiful blend of yoga postures to stretch and open your body, improve your posture and build strength, alongside sequences such as Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations) to energise you and prepare you for the day ahead.
A few sessions will be led by me, while the remaining practices will be guided by experienced yoga teachers at Shreyas, giving you the opportunity to experience a variety of teaching styles, approaches and insights throughout your retreat.
Iyengar Yoga
In the evenings, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in another Hatha Yoga session or try something new with Iyengar Yoga, led by the expert teachers at Shreyas.
Iyengar Yoga offers a wonderful opportunity to explore your practice from a different perspective.
Using props such as blocks, belts, bolsters and wall ropes, you’ll work with precise alignment, build stability and discover how small adjustments can transform a posture.
The props help make poses more accessible, allowing you to work at your own pace while developing strength, flexibility, balance and body awareness.
Whether you’re looking to refine your technique, explore postures in greater depth or simply enjoy experiencing a different style of yoga, these evening sessions offer the perfect balance of learning, exploration and relaxation, leaving you feeling grounded and refreshed.
