If you cancel your participation in the retreat for any reason, the cancellation policy below will apply, with no exceptions.

Although I would like to compensate people for unforeseen circumstances (injury, family emergency, etc.), I am a small business and I have to uphold my commitments to the retreat center and relevant suppliers, unfortunately I am not able to make any exceptions to this cancellation policy, and encourage you to take out travel insurance to protect yourself against illness, emergencies and changes in your circumstances.

8) In the unlikely event where I cancel a Retreat from my end, you are entitled to a refund for any payments you have made to me in advance. I will not, however, be able to compensate you for airfare or other travel expenses incurred.

9) At the Retreat you will be offered variations of yoga positions for you to choose from according to your level of fitness and physical capability. It is entirely your responsibility to listen to your body and make sure your practice remains within your physical capability. Yoga is not competitive and listening to your body and the extent to which it is available for the various poses is essential. I am not able to accept any responsibility for any damage or loss you may suffer as a result of your pushing your body beyond its limits.
