Terms and Conditions and Statement of Inclusion

One to One Sessions

We operate a strict 24 hour cancellation policy. For cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice or if you do not turn up for your appointment, you will be charged the full appointment fee in these circumstances. If you miss your appointment or cancel less than 24 hours prior to the booked appointment.

Workshops & Courses

Once you have signed up you will be liable for the full agreed fee.  For cancellations there will be no refunds or transfers unless:

• the workshop is full and your place can be filled from a waiting list, or
• you are sick/injured/pregnant and can provide a doctor’s note

In these cases we will refund the fee. All clients are asked to agree to Yoga Teachers Forum terms and conditions upon booking a course or workshop.

If a course or workshop is cancelled you will be offered either a cash refund or the option of being transferred to an alternative event. Once you have committed to a course or workshop, we recommend that you attend the scheduled number of sessions to get the most out of the programme.  If you decide to withdraw from the course part way through there will be no refund available.

Booking

All bookings are made via the online booking system.  We offer full payment for the course up front or 4 monthly instalments.  If you sign up to the instalment plan, payment will be taken automatically on a monthly basis until complete. In some special circumstances payment by bank transfer may be possible.

Your place will only be confirmed once full payment for the first instalment has been received.  Please note that your certificate will not be issued upon completion of the course until full payment has been made.

Recordings of all online sessions

Please note that all group sessions will be recorded and shared with the whole group.  These recordings will not be available to anybody outside the participant group apart from Yoga Alliance Professionals (YAP) if requested for quality monitoring purposes.
