Terms

Last updated 20 October 2026.

Who we are

This website belongs to Shankar Prasad Ashram, Bankikodla Village, Hannehalli, Taluka Kumta, Karnataka 581319, India. You can write to swamiyogaratna@gmail.com, or call +91 80953 29129.

Enquiries

The enquiry, booking, course interest and newsletter forms are for adults. Each asks you to confirm that you are 18 or older, or, for a course or a booking, a parent or guardian acting for a child. What we do with what you send is described on the privacy page.

Bookings

The booking form sends a request, not a payment. Nothing is charged online when you send it. A reservation is held once the deposit reaches us; the balance is paid on arrival. Please tell us about the visit as it is: foreign guests must give passport details, because we are required to file Form C, and the form asks you to agree to our recording them.

Payments

Apart from giving online on the donations page, this website does not take payments itself. Course fees, deposits and stays are paid by bank transfer, UPI, PayPal, Wise or Remitly, as the course page or our reply tells you. If a course page or the office gives you a payment link, it goes to a payment page run by Razorpay. Each payment is a single, one-time payment. We do not set up repeating or automatic charges.

Donations

A donation is a gift and is not refundable. If you gave by mistake, write to us at once and we will do what we fairly can.

You can give online on the donations page. Each gift there is a single, one-time payment in Indian rupees, made through Razorpay; nothing repeats. Razorpay’s own terms apply to the payment.

Cancellations and refunds

These are set out on the booking and cancellation page, which is part of these terms. In short: the deposit is not refundable if you cancel, and if the ashram has to cancel your stay everything you have paid is returned. For anything that page does not cover, write to us before you book.

Health

Yoga, Yoga Nidra, pranayama and the Ayurvedic guidance on this website are practices for wellbeing. They are not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment and do not replace your doctor. Please do not stop or change any medicine or treatment because of a course, and tell the teacher about any health condition before you join.

Using this website

You may read this website, share a link to a page and print a page for your own use. Please do not copy the site in bulk, or collect its pages or its contact details with automated tools, without our written permission.

Staying with us

Guests are asked to follow the house rules during their stay.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The version on this page is the one that applies.
