TERMS AND CONDITIONS

CANCELLATION POLICY

Please note that due to the limited number of attendees in our retreat, which allows for a more intimate experience, we have a cancellation policy in place to share expenses that may arise from unexpected cancellations.

  •  Hold deposits are non-refundable, but they can be transferred to another new attendee found and assigned by the original attendee.

  •  The full balance is due 45 days before the start date of the retreat, unless otherwise noted.

  •  Cancellation requests, excluding airfare, submitted within 30 days of the retreat date will receive a 60% refund of the total amount (excluding the deposit).

  •  No refunds will be given for cancellations made within 14 days of the retreat start date, with no exceptions.

  •  Any allowed refunds will incur a 3.7% processing fee.

  •  Any airfare cancellations or changes will be subject to the airline policy fee schedule.

    We recommend purchasing travel insurance with your airfare to cover unforeseen circumstances, and it is your responsibility to read and understand our cancellation policies. No exceptions can be made for any reason, including weather, injury/illness, or personal emergencies. No refunds or credits will be given for failure to attend or complete the retreat, or for arriving late or leaving early. We reserve the right to cancel retreats with inadequate participant interest, in which case all money paid to the retreat organizer will be refunded. Essentials for Yoga® retreats cannot be held responsible for any personal expenses, such as airline tickets, due to changes in itineraries or retreat cancellations.

    COVID TRAVEL UPDATE

    If the retreat needs to be postponed due to border closures, a credit for the hold deposit will be issued for the rescheduled date. If the retreat proceeds as scheduled, but a guest chooses not to attend for reasons unrelated to a country's border closure, the regular cancellation policy will be maintained.

    In the event that travel is still disrupted worldwide as the retreat approaches, the final balance due date will be postponed until a decision is made one month before the start date.

    All attendees must adhere to any COVID regulations in place at the retreat location. This includes following mandatory travel requirements such as vaccinations, boosters, and tests as required by law. While on the retreat, guests agree to comply with any local regulations, such as wearing masks and providing 'green passes' if necessary.
