— I changed someone's life on a Tuesday. Then I spent the weekend fighting Kajabi. Loka is the first time my tools feel as quiet as the practice I am here to lead.

§ i/ the four rooms

A house with four rooms.

One spine, four chambers. Each one designed where your practice actually breaks — and rebuilt so it stops breaking. Not a dashboard. A house, with rooms for the work that lives in each.

· the salon · presence

Your site, written plain.

A custom-themed home on your own subdomain (or your own domain). Fraunces meets Inter, luminous dawn, real photography. Loads under a second. Replaces Squarespace.

§ ii/ the current ledger

What a practitioner pays now.

The real math, written down. Not counting the weekend you lost last month syncing Mailchimp to Kajabi, or the six tabs you close every morning before teaching.

Two views of the same work — presence for teaching mornings, pro for late-night admin. Toggle in the topbar. Both run on one spine.

§ iv/ three ways to begin

Three shapes. No fine print.

Sized to where your practice is today. Move up when you grow. Flat by design — we take a small cut of the till, nothing else.

i

The Practitioner

Add setup— $1,500 to $3,000 once. We migrate your content, brand your home, wire your Stripe, teach you the controls. You don't write setup SQL in the evenings. That is the contract.

§ v/ a field letter

From the first practitioner.

Published in the first issue — a letter we received, unedited, from our first practitioner.

from · maya r. · wild lotus · practitioner 001recorded · 2026-03-11 · 21:42 local

“I changed someone's life on a Tuesday. And then I spent the weekend fighting Kajabi— the PDF upload had broken, the member list wasn't syncing with Mailchimp, and the Eventbrite for the new moon circle had put the price in the wrong currency.

Loka is the first time my tools feel as quietas the practice I am actually here to lead. Eleven hours back a week. I ran two more retreats this month than I'd planned — because, for the first time, I had the time.

Please print this. Tell other teachers the stack is not the work. Tell them they can have it back.”

§ vi/ the honest questions

The questions we actually get.

Answered the way we'd answer them on a discovery call.

i

What happens to my content if I leave?

You leave with all of it. One-click JSON + Markdown + CSV export of every page, booking, lesson, subscriber, and payment record. You own the domain, you own the list, you own the work. No lock-in.

ii

Can I keep my own Stripe?

Yes — we use Stripe Connect Express, so the connected account is yours. Instant payouts to your own bank. Loka takes 3-5% on processed; Stripe's 2.9% + 30¢ sits on top, same as anywhere else.

iii

How fast can I go live?

A practitioner with existing content lives in under a fortnight. A school with courses and cohorts, about a month. A retreat centre, six weeks. We do the migration. You don't write setup docs.

iv

Can I bring my own domain?

Yes. You start on {your-slug}.yourloka.com— and on the day you're ready, we point your own domain at the same tenant. Certs handled. No extra fee. No downtime.

v

What's the 14-day trial like?

Full platform, full tenant, no credit card. Import existing content, set up your calendar, take a real booking. If it isn't the calmest stackyou've run, you walk away with all of it — we close the tenant.
