TAPAS · THE FIRE OF TRANSFORMATION
FIRE&ICE
Four consecutive evenings of Aavya's new Fire & Ice Circuit, woven into a five-day retreat in Upper Tapovan.
Built for people who want to feel awake again.
17 — 21 JUNE 2026 · AAVYA RISE
INAUGURAL FOUNDING EDITION · LIMITED SPOTS
Not a yoga retreat.
Not a fitness camp.
Not a luxury spa holiday pretending to be transformative.
This is for people who want to feel awake again.
Built around four consecutive evenings of Aavya's new Tapas · Fire & Ice Circuit, this retreat combines contrast therapy, functional movement, heat adaptation, breathwork, forest recovery, pottery and fire rituals, cold immersion, community — and a little bit of madness in the mountains.
The retreat is physically engaging — but intelligently paced. Anyone with moderate fitness can do it.
But it is especially designed to excite people who already love: movement, running, trekking, recovery work, sauna culture, breathwork, athletic recovery, cold plunges, primal practices, and experiences slightly beyond the standard yoga-retreat template.
Everything taken care of.

Things people usually ask.
Who is this retreat for?
Anyone with moderate fitness who wants something a little beyond the standard yoga holiday — people who already love movement, running, trekking, recovery work, sauna culture, breathwork, athletic recovery, cold plunges, primal practices. No prior ice bath or sauna experience is required.
How intense is it really?
Physically engaging — but intelligently paced. Every fire night is scalable. Heat exposure, plunge time and intensity are guided, not pushed. There is no aggressive push culture. Recovery and intensity alternate throughout the retreat by design.
What's included beyond the four Fire & Ice Nights?
Four nights stay, daily breakfast & dinner, movement and mobility sessions, breathwork, pottery & fire workshop, a guided heat trek with river recovery, a Floating Sound Immersion, one recovery therapy, and two music evenings.
Why is this called the inaugural founding offer?
This is the very first edition of the retreat. We're opening a limited number of spots at special inaugural pricing for the people willing to be part of the first group. It will become a long-term signature offering at Aavya, but only this first edition is priced this way.
Can I extend my stay before or after?
Yes. Most guests find the retreat sets them up for slower forest days afterwards. WhatsApp us and we'll set up your extra nights at our regular stay rates with continued circuit access.
How do I book?
WhatsApp or email us with your room preference. We'll confirm availability personally — every booking goes through a human, not a form.
