Honorary Membership Card

Gandhi chose the charkha — the spinning wheel — because it put the making of a thing back into the hands of the person who used it. No middlemen, no mystery, no distance between the field and the cloth. That is the wheel we are named after, and this card is your place on it.

What it is

The Honorary Membership is a virtual card, issued once and valid for life. There is nothing to renew, nothing to remember, nothing that expires. It costs €10 — and once your cart reaches €70, it's on us.

Where your €10 goes

Nowhere near our pockets. The full €10 is donated to the Charkha Yoga Foundation, which works with the growers, distillers and artisans we buy from — the people who harvest the resins, distil the oils, spin the cotton and press the Lokta paper by hand.

What it gives you, for life

From your very next order, every purchase you make on charkhayoga.com is split in two:

• 5% back to you — a permanent discount, on every order, forever.
• 5% to the Foundation — donated by us, from our margin, in your name.

We give up 10% on everything you buy. Half of it returns to you. Half of it goes back to the hands the products came from. That is the whole idea: a discount that doesn't take anything away from anyone.

Why it matters

The market for natural products is full of things that pretend. Oils cut with solvents, resins that never saw a tree, "handmade" paper made by machine. We have spent 35 years importing the real thing, directly, and we know exactly whose hands touched it.

Buying honestly costs more. This card is our way of making that choice cost you less — and give more.

Join the circle.
Add the card to your cart for €10, or spend €70 and we'll add it for you.
