Sessions, classes, courses, workplace programmes and sacred journeys. What each one asks is arranged by conversation — the figure has never been the point of the work.

Write to us and we will tell you plainly what a session or a journey asks. Travel outside Kathmandu valley, national park permits and materials are quoted separately so that nothing is hidden inside a round number. If the contribution is a difficulty for you and the need is real, say so; something can usually be arranged.
We teach as well as practise. A five-day programme has already been given at Newa Chhe Yoga Sadhana Kendra, and classes run in Kathmandu through the year.
The course begins where the bowls begin — with how they are made, in this valley, by hand — because a player who knows what is under the hammer listens differently. From there: listening before playing; striking and rimming and the difference between them; choosing bowls that sit well together; how a session is laid out from the first tingsha to the last silence; and how to place a bowl on a body safely.
The longest part of the teaching, and the part that matters most, is the care owed to whoever is lying down in front of you. When to play quieter. When to stop. What to do when someone begins to cry. What you may say afterwards, and what you must never claim. A practitioner who has learned only the instruments has learned the easy half.
Students who complete the course receive a certificate from the Foundation. We ask one thing of everyone who takes it: that some part of what you learn is given away free to people who could not otherwise receive it. That is how it was given to us.

Cash, bank transfer, eSewa or Khalti. For workplace programmes we invoice the organisation in the ordinary way. Nothing is required in advance for a single session.
If you cannot come, simply tell us. There is no fee for changing a time and no fee for cancelling a session. For sacred journeys we ask for as much notice as you can give, since lodges and transport are booked ahead.
Sessions are given in Nepali or English, whichever you prefer. Yogi Ji speaks both. Write to us in either.
“Every offering received brings free sessions to those who need peace most — schools, care homes and healing centres across Nepal.”
