The policy and insurance coverage must be valid and in effect for the entire duration of your retreat.
You will be asked to email or bring your policy with you to the retreat in case of an emergency.
I strongly recommend that you purchase travel cancellation insurance to cover any possible loss. depending on the policy and conditions, travel cancellation insurance will pay for some or all cancellation fees. with most agencies, insurance must be purchased within 14 days of making your reservation.
EXCEPTIONS TO THIS POLICY CANNOT BE MADE FOR ANY REASON, EVER.
There is no cancellation nor refund for any reason including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of terrorism, pandemics, illness, health conditions, medical or personal or family or work emergencies, or change of mind. If you cannot reach the retreat or training due to unforeseen circumstances of any reason, including but not limited to strikes, travel bans, weather circumstances, and missed, delayed or canceled flights, retreat and training fees are unfortunately non-refundable and non-transferable. i strongly recommend purchasing travel cancellation insurance.
I reserve the right to remove a participant from the retreat if their behaviour is disruptive. in the event of such dismissal, any refunds will be at the sole discretion of Unite Yoga. No refunds will be made for travel, meal or accommodation packages booked.

EXCLUSIONS
All information provided on the website and any written and verbal form of correspondence is correct at the time of publication. However, due to mechanical faults, weather conditions, or what insurers call ‘acts of god’, some amenities may be temporarily unavailable. very occasionally, we may have to vary the advertised programme due to staff sickness or other unforeseen problems, in which case we will always try to provide an equivalent replacement.
CLASSES
In the event either Dan, Taylor or any other teachers become injured, ill or any emergency situation that forces any or all to leave the retreat, then this may impact on the retreat plan, in terms of the yoga or fitness classes or talks being cancelled. We will do whatever we can to adapt to the situation and reduce the impact this may have on your retreat experience; however we may not be able to get a replacement teacher out in time. The retreat will continue to run, however things will be adjusted to reflect the situation. There will be no refunds or compensation to reflect the change in situation.
