At the heart of the retreat is a traditional fire ceremony led by experienced and knowledgeable Vedic priests. This ancient ritual, known as "Agnihotra" or "Havan," involves offering sacred herbs, ghee, and other natural elements into the fire while chanting Vedic mantras. The ceremony is believed to purify the atmosphere, create positive energy, and invoke blessings from the cosmic forces.
While Tarang Yoga Ashram encourages participation in all classes to gain the full retreat experience, attendance is completely optional. Guests are welcome to join the sessions that resonate with them and are free to skip any classes they prefer.
