• Due to the nature of the practices, we request you to maintain an empty stomach condition when you come for the session. There should be a gap of:
  • 4 hours from the last full meal,
  • 2.5 hours from the last snack,
  • 1.5 hours from the last beverage (excluding water)
• Attendance for all the sessions is essential. Since the practices are taught step-by-step, if you miss one session, it will not be possible for you to attend the subsequent following sessions.
• As a general note, always consult and follow your doctor's advice. If you have any questions regarding your participation, please visit support.ishafoundation.org.
