Prema Shanti Yoga & Meditation Retreat

Wow. There are no words. What a spiritual, beautiful, soulful place 🧘‍♀️. 

I’ve been to many yoga retreats and have never experienced somewhere like here before. Janardhan and Mara have created somewhere truely magic. 

The food, stunning location and atmosphere was incredible. Great value for money. 

Yoga was fab, especially loved Janardhans first yoga class which had me sweating 😅. 

A place to switch off, relax, detox and learn. The learning part was the most unexpected one for me! Janardhan is so very generous with his time and wisdom, it was exactly what we needed 🙏. We can’t wait to come back again soon.

Do yourself a favour and unplug for the weekend at Premi Shanti retreat.  Mara and Janardhan your hosts provide the perfect mix of attention and care whilst also respecting your privacy.   I'm not very experienced in Yoga myself however it is all explained well by Mara and Janardhan and measures are put in place to cater for different abilities.   We left with a belly full of nutritious vegetarian food, a few insights into living a healthier life and our cups fill.   Highly recommend. We have already booked our dates for next year!

I just spent a wonderful week at Prema Shanti in the Daintree Rainforest. What I loved was the flexibility and the location. You choose how long you want to stay (pending availability). It was just what I needed with meditation at 7am, then breakfast, and yoga at 6pm followed by a great vegetarian dinner; leaving the day free to explore the wonderful region making it feel like a retreat and holiday in one. You’ll need to hire a car at the airport if you’re not already driving there. Lunch isn’t included so you will need to get out during the day. Don’t skip the trip to the reef as it was magical. Janardhan and Mara each meet with you separately to help you make the most out of your stay and support you with whatever you want to get out of the retreat. The accommodation is rustic and basic but clean and a great environment for relaxing with lots of opportunities to lay in a hammock and read a book.

Surrounded by the beautiful Daintree rainforest, Prema Shanti was the perfect place to escape, I walked away relaxed and grounded. Daily meditation and yoga was so calming and restorative. The vegetarian/vegan food was amazing!
Prema Shanti was centrally located and easily accessible to all the sightseeing around the Daintree and Cape Tribulation. 
The rooms were basic but super comfortable, clean and quiet. 
The hosts Mara and Janardhan were so helpful and were always available to answer questions, provide tourism advice, or give guidance about meditation and yoga practices. 
I would absolutely go back!

We have just spent 4 amazing nights and could not be happier, if your looking to un plug, reconnect with life and reinvigorate, I highly recommend. With the middle of each day left to explore paradise, and with local knowledge and advise, we seen some glorious and secluded sights, thank you so much 

Amazing place in the Daintree rainforest to stay and practice yoga and mindfulness. Beautiful comfy accomodation, quality food and a memorable 4- night stay. Strongly recommended for those who wish to disconnect for a few days and dive into the nature and self awareness.

This was a perfect place for yoga, meditation, reflection, good company, and fantastic adventures.  I recommend 100%!  By the time I arrived, I had reservations for a message and a reef trip, just in case!  The reef is a must-see and the trip was amazing. I’d go back in a heartbeat.  

This was my third trip to Prema Shanti and I look forward to the fourth.  Hard to go wrong with yoga and meditation in the Daintree, but Mara and Janardan take it next level. 

First, the program is simple - yoga at 6pm, dinner then noble silence from 9.30pm. Up for silent meditation from 7am followed by breakfast.  Pretty much the entire day to yourself to rest or explore.  

Second, the food is excellent. Vegan dinners and muesli, yogurt and fruit for breakfast.  I bought some nuts and a couple of muesli bars on the way up for lunch, although others ate  at local cafes.  Importantly for me, they understand the need for coffee. 

Third, the yoga instruction is really good. Mara and Janardan alternate,  and both are great teachers.  They will take the time to work through any issues, and with eight or fewer participants, they can offer individual tips.  

The accomodation is simple, with drop toilets in use during the day and shared facilities, so don’t expect everything you are used to at home. Do expect a great sleep which may be interrupted by the odd critter outside, and being woken to the sound of birds just outside.  The porch and yoga/meditation room upstairs are brilliant. 

Prema Shanti is great, but the star of the show is the remarkable Daintree rainforest. It is truly a wonder.

Prema Shanti.
Just wow. If you are at a time on your life,where you are asking yourself who am I, what am I, you need to rediscover who you are, this is the place to be. Covid has bought a wierd energy into our lives along with isolation and confusion, burn out has reached epic levels. Prema Shanti offers a place of solitude, guidance by the beautiful jannardhan and Mara (but natural, not intrusive). This place is special, in the middle of the rainforest, close to nature, no connection to the outside world. I can for 14 days, I was a bit scared, I was resistant to change but I couldn't go in with the rage I had inside me. with the gentle guidance of both Mara and jannardhan, the meditation practice, the amazing clean food, the healing chants and yoga, I am  anew woman. My energy has shifted, I'm smiling, not juts on the outside but with my whole being. This place will hold a special place in my heart. 
Don't go to catch up with friends, go to feel the energy. The healing, the spiritual journey. Mara and jannardhan will guide you as needed.
I cannot express my gratitude enough, I am a new woman, my journey will continue and Prema Shanti will hold a special place on my heart. I will be back. 
On my return I have shared my journey, I am sure many will follow my steps and seek the peace. Healing. Connection whatever they need in this beautiful place.

Thankyou thankyou thankyou
Namaste 🙏

A very grounding and spiritual spot in the beautiful Raintree Rainforest. The yoga and meditation instruction were great, healthy and good vegetarian food and, as a small retreat, it is peaceful and restful. A real back to nature feel about this place, with clean shared facilities that are both in nature and very natural. Suits those who relish being at one with nature. Just what I needed and I feel blessed and grounded after 5 days at Prema Shanti. I will definitely go back.
