Terms for students

Admission

The ashram reserves the right of admission. Students whose behaviour goes against the ashram’s rules and teachings may be asked to leave, without a refund.

Cancellation

Terms differ by programme, and each programme page shows its own. If the ashram cancels a course, you receive a full refund of what you paid. If government restrictions apply, the course is postponed and booking fees are not refunded.

Payment

Residential fees can be paid in USD, euros or rupees, in cash or by bank transfer. We do not accept traveller’s cheques, debit cards or credit cards. We send payment details after we accept your application.

Visas

Foreign nationals must bring their original passport with an Indian visa valid for the full course.

Health and safety

You are responsible for your own medical care and medicines. Please tell us about any injury or health condition when you apply.

Photographs

Photos and video taken during courses and activities may be used by the ashram and the Yogaathma Foundation for records and promotion.
