I have an ongoing medical condition. Is it okay for me to join the course?

In general, if you’re healthy and mobile enough to travel in India, then you’re healthy and mobile enough to join a course! Of course it depends what your condition is and the extent to which it would affect the other students or your ability to participate fully in the course.

For example, please consult a medical professional before you join the course if you have stomach problems or flu-like symptoms and please inform us if you are taking any medication for depression/anxiety etc. In this respect, please make sure that you are in good physical and mental health before you join a course. We are not medical professionals and will not be able to take care of you if you are sick. We must be responsible given that we cater to a large number of people in a shared environment, so we strongly request you not join the course if you are feeling unwell and have not sought medical attention for it.

If you have a problem with mobility, please be aware that India will probably be a challenging place for you in any case, but don’t worry about not being able to sit cross-legged during meditation, it’s no problem to use a chair.

Considering the large number of people we cook for, as well as the very wide variety of food allergies/preferences, we unfortunately are NOT able to provide for special dietary needs. This includes dairy, gluten, lactose and wheat allergies. You can read about our meals here
