Shreyas Weight Management package 14 nights & 15 days:
Healthy body, Tranquil Mind
Yoga essentially emphasizes on balance – external and internal, physical and mental. The aim of Yoga processes and asanas is to give us equilibrium of body and mind and fine-tune both so that we are equipped to deal with the pressures and stresses of daily life with equanimity.
Therefore, along with a calm, stable mind, a fit and healthy body is essential – and this is what Shreyas strives to offer to all its guests.
Weight Management Packages at Shreyas include 14 and 21-night programs where one can reduce 7-8 pounds and 10-12 pounds respectively in a healthy manner, which can be maintained in the long run, and consist of actual fat loss along with an increase in muscle mass and metabolic rate. We achieve this by a combination of:
Customized low-calorie, balanced diet based on scientific indices such as BMI, Broca's Index, etc
A set of time tested traditional Ayurvedic treatments,
Yoga practices that include Asana, Pranayama, Kriyas, Yoga Nidra & Meditation and
Aerobic activities like brisk walks, swimming and gymnasium workouts.
Shreyas is not specifically a weight loss retreat, but a Yoga Retreat that aims to provide guests guidance towards a healthier life, both physically and mentally. Guests will have a daily program structured around their needs and abilities after meeting with Wellness Consultant at Shreyas. Each guest will have their progress monitored to ensure that their objectives for coming to Shreyas are met.
Effective weight management requires a constant sense of awareness and self-control, coupled with adoption of healthy lifestyle choices. The focus is on positive goals such as improved health, fitness, increased self-esteem and the ultimate goal of any weight loss programme should be the establishment of permanent life style changes both in food habits & physical activity patterns.
We will guide you on the path to weight-loss under the guidance of a Naturopath/Ayurvedic doctor. Guests are advised to strictly follow the program recommended by the doctor in order to obtain maximum results and lose weight in a healthy, sustainable manner over a period of time. Your stay at Shreyas will set you on the path to your desired weight and we will guide you on how to continue to see progress once you leave, but please note that we cannot give guests any guarantees of losing specific amount of weight.
Guests on departure are presented a manual comprising of various suggestions regarding diet, exercise & lifestyle changes which can be fitted into their daily lives easily. As a long term commitment, for guests who are interested, we keep in touch periodically to motivate & make specific suggestions to help them continue, as well as send healthy recipes and tips on nutrition, etc
The package includes:
Counseling:
Individual Counseling is essential to determine realistic goals of the guests & to initiate a dietary regimen that is appropriate for their food habits & lifestyle. Although motivation has to be intrinsic, our Wellness Consultant can be of help towards initiating this motivation & subsequently provide encouragement & guidance at frequent follow up visits. Periodic consultations with our experienced Ayurvedic doctor help in identifying the body types (Doshas), oils & massages best suited, which helps in determining a specific line of treatment for better results.
Yoga:
Yogic processes redirect our energy towrads healthy & creative outlets. They include physical postures, breathing & cleansing processes, meditation & relaxation techniques like yoga nidra. These processes tone the body, remove blockages and help in harmonizing the inner mechanisms of the body.
Healthy Cuisine:
After a detailed wellness consultation with the guest, a negative energy balance plan is made, which ensures the calorie intake is less than the ideal recommended daily allowance, and is low in carbohydrates and fats. Care is taken to provide a balanced diet, which is easy to follow on long term.
Slimming Ayurvedic Therapies:
According to Ayurveda some of the therapies given for a specific period not only help to mobilize the excessive adipose tissue but detoxify the system. Medicated oils, which have weight loss properties are used during these treatments to enhance the weight loss. The therapies include:
- Synchronized Abhyanga:
This special Kerala massage uses medicated warm oils to strengthen the body and improve suppleness & mobility. It also vitiates doshas & brings them to the surface.

- Udwarthanam:
This is a process of forceful reverse body massage using powdered herbs. It reduces kapha, strengthens the muscles & improves the quality of skin. This is one of the most effective therapies to eliminate adipose tissue deposits.
