Companion Wellness Stay
A peaceful stay for your partner or family member while you immerse yourself in your Yoga Teacher Training.
A month-long Yoga Teacher Training is a deeply transformative journey. At the same time, we understand that travelling far from home for several weeks can sometimes mean leaving behind a partner or a close family member.
To make this journey easier, Samyak offers a Companion Wellness Stay, allowing your partner or an immediate family member to share your accommodation while enjoying the tranquillity of our riverside campus.
While you dedicate yourself to your Yoga Teacher Training, your companion can slow down, reconnect with nature, experience authentic Ayurveda, or simply enjoy the peaceful rhythm of Gurukula life.
A Different Kind of Stay
Unlike a hotel or holiday destination, Samyak is a traditional Gurukula located on the serene banks of the River Kaveri, away from the noise and distractions of the city.
Life here follows a simple, mindful rhythm. The surroundings are quiet, the food is nourishing, and nature becomes part of the experience.
Many companions tell us they arrive expecting to "wait" for their loved one, but leave feeling that they too have experienced something meaningful.

Shared accommodation with the enrolled student

Companion Wellness Stay Fee
€30 per day
Every guest's constitution and health concerns are unique. After an initial consultation, our Ayurveda physician will recommend treatments that are most suitable for you. Treatments are optional and charged separately.
Ayurveda During Your Stay
One of the most meaningful ways companions choose to spend their time is by exploring the science of Ayurveda.
Our experienced Ayurveda doctors offer personalised consultations to understand your constitution, lifestyle and health concerns, followed by authentic therapies if you choose.
​
Whether your goal is simply relaxation or addressing a specific health concern, Ayurveda can become a beautiful complement to your stay.
You can learn more about our consultations, therapies and wellness programmes on the Samyak Ayurveda website.
A Typical Day
While students follow a full schedule of Yoga practice, philosophy, teaching methodology and workshops, companions often enjoy their day in their own way.
Some choose to:
-
Experience Ayurveda consultations and treatments
-
Read or journal by the river
-
Enjoy the peaceful gardens
-
Meditate or simply rest
-
Work remotely for a few hours
-
Visit Mysore occasionally
There is no fixed programme - simply the opportunity to slow down and enjoy a quieter pace of life.
