Shreyas: Boutique Yoga Retreat

I suppose a spa blog – especially one that’s written from India -- should mention Shreyas, a retreat tucked away in the green environs of Bangalore. It describes itself as a “boutique yoga retreat”, one that also regularly hosts special yoga programmes and the upcoming ones will be in December-January 2010.
Besides yoga, there are spa treatments on offer too. These include western, oriental as well as ayurvedic therapies. Do give, in particular, the invigorating coffee scrub and the stimulating coffee mask a try. The coffee scrub, in fact, aims at banishing cellulite and has aromatic coffee beans ixed with rice powder, oatmeal and rose water. Not only does it exfoliate gently, it also softens and tightens the skin. The coffee mask, on the other hand, will make you feel like you’ve entered a cafeteria that’s bursting with flavours of freshly ground coffee beans! This massage is a concoction of freshly ground coffee powder, fresh aloevera gel and Fuller’s earth and helps in cleansing and tightening the skin. The caffeine stimulates the circulatory system and rejuvenates the body. Lastly, a deeply moisturizing and relaxing cocoa butter massage kneads away any aches and stresses. Yum!

PS: It wouldn’t be a bad idea for the Barista’s and Café Coffee Day’s of the world to demarcate a small area in their cafés for coffee treatments.
