Shala for hire

Whether you’re a participant in one of our classes or a host bringing your vision to life, Casa Sana’s shala is a canvas for transformative experiences. Discover the balance of body, mind, and spirit within the nurturing embrace of our sacred space. 

Join us in exploring the richness of our facilities and consider the possibility of making our shala the canvas for your next event or workshop at Casa Sana. 🌟 

It’s our own personal, and sometimes frustrating, experience that it can be difficult to talk and agree about money, rates, fees, who pays what, etcetera if you are organising your own class or workshop and you are looking to hire a venue.  

We want to do this differently. We want to be fair and transparent to all, to student, participant, practitioner, teacher, facilitator, management, coordinator, promoter, and the business owner who pays most of the bills of the shala. We also want to remove entry barriers for teachers with maybe only a small number of students/participants. We are open to discuss any revenue sharing model but want to suggest the below percentage model and the tiered model. 

For: 

• Teach your own public class – the class is open to all students/participants, the class will be added to our schedule and will be promoted. The average/suggested fee to charge is Rs.500 for a 60 minutes class, Rs.600 for a 90 minute class. 
• Organise your own public event – your event is open to all students/participants, the event will be added to our calendar and will be promoted. We can not suggest a fee to charge, this is totally up to you and depends on the type of event. 

Of the fee: 

• 50% goes to you, the teacher/facilitator/organiser. 
• 10% goes towards the shala coordinator (coordinates the shala, the students/participants, the teachers, event organisers, the schedule/calendar, online bookings/reservations) and promoter (including expenses for flyers, posters, online free and paid advertising). 
• 40% goes towards the business owner (as rent for the shala, and to pay for shala expenses). 

For 

• Organise your own private class – Hire the shala – exclusively for your own students/participants, the event will not be in our schedule and will not be promoted. 
• Organise your own private event – Hire the shala – exclusively for your own participants, the event will not be in our schedule and will not be promoted. 
• You decide on the fee charged, and whether this is per person or for the whole group.
