Who are the people behind Aapya?
Our programs have been designed based on deep research and scientific evidence to ensure transformation through Aapya- A New Way of Life.
How is Aapya different from any other group hobby classes / program?
Our program is designed for adults using Andragogy principles. Adults learn differently than children and thus this is extremely important.
Who has built Aapya Programs?
Each component has been built by certified and qualified experts and the entire methodology is built on proven benefits proved scientifically.
I may miss the classes as I have a traveling job, or I have family engagements. How will I cover up?
You will have access to our recorded classes that you can use and learn at any time. You also have access to practice sessions where you can learn from your group members. Additionally, you can always connect with the facilitator on chat to get specific queries answered.
Do I have to attend all practice sessions?
We highly recommend you to make use of these sessions to improve and learn from each other. However, the core classes cover the key topics and the practice sessions do not include new teacher-led inputs. Thus you can consider them optional.
