We price our programs according to the value of what we offer, and the effort that goes into designing and facilitation of the sessions. We particularly pay a lot of attention to the curriculum and the process of learning, for every program, however short it is.
At the same time, we are sensitive to the issue that people may have different financial abilities and if there is a financial limitation, we ask people to reach out to us to discuss possible options to support their learning. Additionally, we do have an early bird offer for most of our programs.

With the advent of technology, there is a general movement towards seeing learning as a process of gathering information or skills. This has become pervasive due to the ease with which we can access content or tips and strategies for skill building. The relational element of learning gets completely left out! At vishoka, we give great importance to this in our programs. We believe that a lot of the learning happens through the growing connection between the teacher, student, and the content in the classes.
While our programs are online, they are designed to be a modern adaptation of a face-to-face environment of learning, where the teachers are not merely transmitting a skill but facilitating a process of self-discovery. A lot of the learning happens through the active engagement during the sessions. The dates for each program is set ahead of time so that both teachers and participants can plan their calendars and participate fully.
Hence, as a general policy we don't record our classes regularly or encourage recordings as a replacement for being in the class.
That said, we do understand that sometimes there can be unforeseen circumstances that lead to missing a class. For the chanting programs, one can learn the missed portion of the chant by listening to the audio recording sent to the group for practice. For other programs, one can reach out to other participants to get any notes they may have taken.

At Vishoka we offer many of our Yoga and Chanting related services and programs online.
However all of the healing services require you to meet the facilitator in person. Think of the healing process as a psychological equivalent of a surgical process. It cannot be done remotely and requires preparation, rest and recovery time.
Stepping out of your everyday context is essential to create space and time for a healing process to unfold and complete itself. It indicates a certain willingness, commitment and effort to bring change in whatever one is struggling with.
Healing is really about giving space and time to parts of us that are asking for attention in the form of the problem that we are encountering.
