TWIN SHARING ROOM POLICY:
As per Aadi Yoga Policy, we do not allow check-in in the room without a second twin sharing partner’s presence.

We adopt this policy to ensure the safety of belongings of an already reached twin sharing partner and overcome later confusions.
If the second twin sharing partner is going to reach later than the first partner’s arrival time, then in this condition, the second partner may have to wait for a few minutes for check-in.
Please maintain silence during waiting time. Aadi yoga will be available to serve you some welcome drinks in the waiting room.
