Frequently asked questions

What is NOSTOPS?

NOSTOPS is a teacher-first yoga cooperative connecting seekers with verified Indian yoga teachers, retreats and lineages — backed by a Council of Gurus.

How do I book a teacher?

Browse the Teacher Directory, open a teacher’s profile, and request a session. You’ll be asked to sign in or create a free account to confirm a booking.

Are teachers verified?

Yes. Public teacher profiles are for teachers who have completed KYC and Council empanelment, so you can book with confidence.

How much do I keep?

For eligible institutional programmes, teachers receive 70% for 3-month engagements, 80% for 6-month engagements, and 85% for 12-month engagements, subject to the applicable programme terms. Retreats, one-to-one sessions and other work have their own terms.

How do I join?

Register, build your profile, complete InstaKYC, and get empanelled by the Council. Then your public profile goes live and you can receive bookings.

Can I host retreats?

Eligible teachers can host retreats — create listings, manage reservations and get paid, with NOSTOPS handling payments.

What is the Council of Gurus?

A body of senior gurus who vouch for teachers and safeguard the authenticity of the Guru–Shishya Parampara on NOSTOPS.

Do you run corporate & campus programmes?

Yes — structured 1, 3, 6 or 12-month programmes for companies, educational institutions and startup networks, delivered in person at your office, campus or a venue you choose.

What does an organisation see as a programme runs?

The organisation dashboard shows registrations and attendance for every session, and participants can leave a rating and feedback once the programme is complete.

Who pays for an organisation programme?

The organiser sets a fee per participant, per session, and each person pays it online (card or UPI) when they register. Their place is confirmed once the payment goes through.
