Shreyas yoga Retreat in India has opened a new 20,000sq ft (1,858sq m) spa with four dedicated ayurveda therapy rooms, two rooms for mud therapy, and a separate naturotherapy section.

Anaha, the Spa at Shreyas – designed by Akshay and Aditi Heranjal from the Purple Ink Studio in Bengaluru – includes a main building that is partially submerged into the earth, with the light and air movement planned from a series of sunken courts.

The spa also features four rooms for Swedish massage, rooms for Thai massage, and rooms for hydrotherapy, acupressure and acupuncture.

Each spa room is positioned to offer views of the surroundings, whilst concealing the guests from the outside with local exposed brick jaali works.

An herb garden will provide fresh local ingredients used in the scrubs and masks.

Separate spa facilities for men and women will include steam rooms and experiential showers.

There will also be a beauty salon for signature scrubs and facials, as well as manicures and pedicures

The Spa features lounging spaces, a whirlpool, an organic juice bar and a Shreyas boutique that sells souvenirs, books, and Shreyas produce.

The Spa will have a gymnasium and four different areas for yoga sessions – for private sessions as well as group classes.

The 2,000sq ft (186sq m) Meditation and Yoga pavilion has large openings to the east, allowing natural sunlight to create a powerful setting for the Yoga sessions at sunrise. The Large Pavilion opens up further to a series of private Yoga and Meditation Spaces.
