Terms & Policies
RESERVATION POLICIES:
Classes
Injuries
When participating in our classes, workshops and retreats it must be understood by all participants that all physical exercise including Yoga carry the risk of injury. By attending you agree are in good physical health and should any injury occur it is your personal responsibility to pay for any medical costs that you believe are necessary.
Being late
Please build in sufficient time into your day to get to class on time. Coming in late is disruptive to other students, to me and to yourself. Occasionally life happens and we are late to class for external reasons, but if you know you are someone who tends to be late to events, make this a priority as something you need to personally work on and change.
Booking your class.
To attend class all participants must book you class on line through my booking system. This can be done up until half an hour before class starts. Occasionally classes fill up. If a class is full the system will not let you book and you will not be able to sign up but here is an option to go on a waiting list. If someone cancels you will be emailed and put into the class. If you are on the waiting list and later find you are not able to attend, please cancel your spot on the waiting list.
Cancellation policy
If you know you cannot come to class, please cancel online so someone can take your place. If you cancel within 24 hours of class start you will be charged for the class.
Packages
1) All packages are non transferable and non refundable.
2) Packages must be paid for in advance in class to me by cash, PayNow or cheque.
3) Please respect the time limit on your class card or package.
If participants are not able to comply with these conditions they are advised to buy single classes.
6 month Teacher Mentorship Program
Please note once you have committed and paid for your mentorship program, no refunds can be given.

Application Approval and Termination of program enrolment
I am committed to providing all participants with a positive experience and may not approve all applications to join this program. In this case we will refund you the amount paid to us less any enrolment cancellation costs. Once the Program starts, we may terminate this agreement and your participation in the Program without refund or forgiveness of remaining payments if you become disruptive or difficult to work with, if you fail to follow the Program guidelines, or if you impair the participation of others.

Please understand that by making your payment for workshops you are agreeing to a no refunds policy. Refunds will only be given under extenuating circumstances and at my discretion.
Retreats and Trainings
Cancelation refund policy for retreats and trainings:
If you need to cancel 60 days or more before the event start date a 50% refund will be made.
If you need to cancel 30 days or more before the event start date a 30% refund will be given.
Cancelations within one month of the retreat start will not be refunded.
Please note my retreats and trainings are not for you if you have mental health issues.
As a Yoga teacher I am not qualified to give professional advice outside the realm of Yoga. If you are unsure about coming on retreat, please contact me at info@sarahbyoga.net
Specific to our Telunas Beach resort retreat:
The Telunas Beach Resort is more comfortable but is still not a place where you can expect room service or a spa although the beach side massages are magnificent!
I believe we have plenty of options for luxury and pampering in the world today, especially those of us living in Singapore. Unique venues with authentic charm and grace are becoming less easy to find.
Please also note that retreat participants will be arriving from many different destinations. It is the participants responsibility to get to the meet up point to join us on time for the ferry or shuttle bus to leave for the retreat centre.
Please do not ask me for advice on buying flights for our Thailand retreats. Skyscanner.com is a good App to consult or any good travel agent will help you.
Insurance
Travel insurance will also cover you for flight/ ferry changes and cancelations, lost luggage and so on.
There are often options to buy travel insurance as you buy your flight or ferry ticket.
