Before You Write

A few common questions

Do I need any background to take part?

None at all. Most gatherings are open to everyone, and no prior experience of yoga or meditation is expected. Come as you are; you will be met where you stand.

Is there a fee to attend?

Open meditations and study circles carry no fee. Retreats and certain programmes may ask a modest contribution toward costs, and no one is turned away for want of means.

Which tradition does the Foundation follow?

We follow the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. No creed is imposed; people of every background and belief are welcome to share in the practice.

How can I support the work?

Through membership, through offering your time and skills as seva, or through a donation. You can read more on the support page, or simply mention it in your message.

Are donations tax-exempt?

The Foundation is pursuing 12A and 80G registration; once complete, donations will be eligible for tax exemption. A receipt is issued for every gift.
