Payment & Cancellation Terms
(Last updated July 2023)
FEES AND COSTS
- Fees. The fee for the Course or Module will be as quoted on the Website at the time of Registration. Fees are subject to change from time to time at The Yoga Therapy Institute’s discretion. The Participant agrees to pay the price of each Module that is charged at the time of attendance. Fees may be adjusted in the event of unforeseen circumstances. Such an adjustment shall be notified in advance.
- Other costs. The Participant is responsible for any additional costs incurred during the Course or Module, including but not limited to materials, books, lodging, travel, meal expenses, and other related expenses unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- VAT. Fees listed for Courses or Modules on our Website are exclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT). Where VAT applies to a Course or Module, the fees stated shall be inclusive of VAT and shall be charged with VAT included at the applicable rate.
- Discounts. From time to time, The Yoga Therapy Institute may offer discounts or promotional codes for Courses or Modules. Any such discounts are subject to availability and may be subject to additional terms and conditions. Unless otherwise stated, discounts or promotional codes cannot be combined and may not be applied retroactively. The Yoga Therapy Institute reserves the right to modify or discontinue any discounts or promotional codes at any time without prior notice.
PAYMENT TERMS
- Payment options. The Yoga Therapy Institute offers various payment options for completing the Courses or Modules, including:
- Payment of full Course fee. Upon enrolment, an invoice will be sent for the full payment of the Course. This option secures a place in the Course and protects against potential price increases during the Course.
- Payment per individual module/course component. An invoice for each module/course component will be sent to be paid in full six weeks before the start date or shortly after registration to secure a place. This option ensures that the Participant pays the price of the module/course component at the time of attendance, meaning that any price increases between the time of registration and the module/course component start date will be reflected in the final amount due. Note that Participants may choose to pay for several individual modules at once with a combined invoice upon request to The Yoga Therapy Institute. The same terms apply to this option.
- Monthly payments plan. A monthly payment plan is available for Participants who register for the full Course, with an additional fee to secure the Course fee for the entire duration of the instalments. This option requires a signed agreement outlining the payment schedule and terms of the plan. Failure to sign the agreement may result in cancellation of the registration.
- Personalised payments plan. Personalised payment plans are available for Participants who wish to attend only a few modules, with an additional fee to secure the Module fee for the entire duration of the instalments. This option requires a signed agreement outlining the payment schedule and terms of the plan. Failure to sign the agreement may result in cancellation of the registration.
- Payment due dates. Invoice payments must be settled within seven days from the invoice date. Failure to settle within this period may result in cancellation of the registration.
- Confirmation of registration. Registration is only considered confirmed upon receipt and processing of payment. Therefore, it is imperative that payments are made promptly to secure a place in the desired module.
- Payment security. The Yoga Therapy Institute takes payment security seriously and has implemented various security measures to ensure that all financial information is safe and secure. Access to payment systems is restricted to authorised personnel only.

ATTENDANCE AND REFUND
- Attendance. Participants are expected to attend all classes and sessions of the Course or Module. If a Participant does not show up or only partially attends, for whatever reason, they are not entitled to a refund. However, if a Participant is unable to attend a module or class due to illness or other circumstances beyond their control, they may be eligible for rescheduling of the missed module/class. Any such request must be submitted in writing to The Yoga Therapy Institute and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
- Missed classes. Missed classes or sessions will not be rescheduled, except in very uncommon circumstances such as the Participant’s illness or other circumstances beyond their control. In such cases, The Yoga Therapy Institute will work with the Participant to reschedule the missed class or session. The Participant is responsible for catching up on the session recordings and completing the coursework on their own if they miss a class or session that is not rescheduled. Please note that in certain instances where live attendance is deemed essential, rescheduling the session may be required.
