The temple at SWAN Yoga Retreat in Goa, India is the spiritual heart of our yoga ashram retreat center. Dedicated to the guru element – the teachers and masters who are the source of knowledge and dispeller of darkness – it reminds us that this element of all-knowing consciousness lives in each and every one of us. Ceremonial traditions, like havan "sacred fire rituals" are performed here weekly creating a cleansing wave of positive energy that sweeps over our entire campus.
