Why do you have a special fee for Indians?The intent here is not to discriminate based on nationality. We have been trying to spread Yoga to the young generation in India. However, for many reasons, there is still a reluctance to take Yoga practice seriously. One of the hurdles is also due to the economical viability of Yoga classes in India. There are lesser Yoga studios and shalas compared to the west. Therefore, we are keeping the prices as low as possible to people who earn here in India so that they can also get into the mainstream of Yoga practices.
