Does Online Meditation and Yoga Work ?+
Online Meditation and Online Yoga are indeed an invitation to bring you towards the spiritual world, online concept triggers your need to Meditate and work towards mental and physical wellbeing, online learning is never the real taste of learning, it is only an glimpse, once you enroll online and if you continue to practice meditation and yoga this will create a regularity of learning while being in the comfort of your home or office but the real fun and real absorb of knowing and understanding happens when you surrender in front of a master, your teacher.
What kind of people come here ?+
It is for sure that you have some intelligence only then you want to meditate, I say only intelligent people come for meditation because the fools run after outward peace which is never to be found hence, they seek rituals, they seek Gurus hence they become followers, a true meditator can never be labeled as a follower, he becomes a leader, my entire effort is to make you a leader and not a follower
You will find intelligent people coming to meditate from all walks of life, from all religions, from all regions.
Do I need to belong to any religion to come for meditation ?+
Meditation is for everyone, it has nothing to do with any religion or God, you could be of any faith, simply being a human is more than enough to come into meditation.

Meditation has nothing to do with any religion, the entire purpose is to make you pure and religious.

Is there any membership ?+
No there is no membership, since nothing is permanent, membership can never happen.
Is this a Yoga center?+
Meditation has nothing to do with yoga, yoga exercises and meditation are two separate self-development systems, yoga exercises are for wellbeing of the body while meditation is for your entire being – your heart but of course, Yoga and free hand fitness exercise is also taught here.
