Questions & answers
Everything about booking, payments, programs and privacy. Can’t find what you need? We’re happy to help.
Booking sessions
How do I book?
Open Book a consult, pick an open time on Dr. Shah’s calendar (shown in Indian time) and confirm. You’ll get an email with the details and a calendar link.
How far ahead can I book?
Up to 21 days ahead, and at least 2 hours before the session starts.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
Yes — free of charge up to 12 hours before your session, from “My bookings”. See the cancellation policy for details.
Online or in person?
Most consults with Dr. Shah are online by video. If an in-person visit is offered, the address is shown when you book.
Payments
How do I pay?
Securely through Razorpay with UPI, cards or net banking. We never see or store your card details.
Do you offer discounts?
Sometimes we share discount codes for programs. Enter yours at checkout and the new price is shown before you pay.
What if my payment fails or I’m charged twice?
If money left your account but the payment failed, your bank usually returns it within a few working days. If anything looks wrong, contact us with the payment ID and we’ll sort it out.
Programs
How long do I keep access?
Once you join a program, it stays in “My learning” — learn at your own pace, on any device.
Can I try before I join?
Many programs have free preview lessons marked on the program page. Open one without logging in.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. Finish every lesson to get a certificate with a public link anyone can use to check it’s real.
Privacy and safety
Who can see what I share?
Only your consultant reads their session notes, and your journal is private to you. Both are encrypted.
Can I get a copy of my data or delete it?
Yes. From “My account” you can download everything we hold about you, or delete your account.
Is this an emergency service?
No. If you’re in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call Tele-MANAS 14416 or 112 right away.
Yoga
I’m not flexible. Can I still do yoga?
Yes. Flexibility comes from practice — your teacher will adapt every pose to where you are today.
Do I need any equipment?
A mat or a folded blanket is enough. Your teacher may suggest a cushion or a strap from things you already have at home.
Counselling
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on what you’d like help with. Some people feel clearer after a few sessions; others prefer regular support for longer. You’re never locked in.
Can I talk in Hindi or Odia?
Yes — each counsellor lists the languages they work in. Filter by language on the consultants page.
Meditation
How long should I meditate each day?
Five to ten minutes a day is a great start. Regular short practice matters more than long sessions.
Do I have to sit cross-legged?
No. A chair, a cushion or even lying down works. Comfort helps you stay with it.
