Our approach to wellbeing

Own your presence
Wellbeing is a lifelong journey. A path of small steps and big leaps guided by intuition, awareness, and practice. It’s an exploration of your inner self and your connection to the outside world. Often careful. Sometimes courageous. Always considered. Veya is here to support you along that path.
While everyone’s wellbeing journey is different, there are learnings and practices that universally help us find balance within our body, our mind, and our environment. Veya’s approach to wellbeing composes of a range of multidisciplinary modalities that have been distilled and clarified into 8 universal pathways toward being well – our 8 Pillars of Wellbeing.


Your journey begins with an individual wellbeing assessment and mapping with a wellbeing host who will work with you to create a bespoke programme that aligns with your needs and priorities.

Your personal programme is curated from the group wellbeing activity calendar with emphasis on mindfulness practices, somatic practices, and lifestyle learning to centre the mind and body.

A private end-of-stay consultation will guide you to continue on your path of wellbeing when you return home. You will have access to a range of online content to continue your wellbeing practice.
Your ever-changing environment presents you with challenges and opportunities that direct your wellbeing journey. Banyan Tree’s proprietary 8 pillars of wellbeing is about sustained and balanced practices, serving as guiding principles throughout life’s journey.
The Veya journey is built on a 3-step protocol of Awareness, Discovery, and Sustenance.
