If you have sports benefits Smartum, Virike, ePassi, EazyBreak, Edenred (exercise vouchers, payment card or application), you can choose Pay later / On-Site Payment as the payment method.

You can pay the course fee or part of it to the Astanga Yoga School in Helsinki (a free amount of your choice) with the exercise benefit application. After that, send the payment receipt by email to info@astanga.fi, and we will credit the exercise balance to the course payment, because the exercise balance payment is not entered into our reservation system automatically.

You can also pay for the course by bank transfer from your own online bank: you can see the details of the Yoga School’s payment account on the course receipt (Invoice).

NOTE: The sport benefit or bank transfer payments are not registered into our booking system automatically like online card payments, so send a receipt/photo of the sport benefit or bank transfer payment by email to info@astanga.fi and we will acknowledge the course as paid.

Payment with sport vouchers at the course location.

Many courses also have the option of participating remotely (however, not all of them). So first check if the course is available in our online schedule. If it is found, proceed as follows:

1. Buy a suitable credit card.
2. Book the online classes you want from our schedule https://astangajoga.fi/aikataulut/online/ (online classes are called ”Virtual”). When you have signed up for the online classes, you will receive a link to participate in the class on Zoom in your email about 15 minutes before the start of the class.

NOTE: if you have signed up for a course and want to replace one of the classes, you cannot cancel the course yourself, but must request the cancellation from the yoga school office: in case of urgent changes, call or send a WhatsApp message to the yoga school by mobile phone  but preferably already the day before, so that we have enough time to change the class booking into an online class.
