How to Pay For Your Trial session

All trial sessions are requested to be pre-paid via your online banking. Payment details are given on request if you wish to book .

Places are provisionally held for 48 hours awaiting Payment. Enquiries are random and frequent, Most of the time spaces are very limited so places cannot be held after 48 hours.

You can book up to 2 weeks MAX in advance of your initial trial session date.

Trial session payments are non refundable – but can be transferred to a different class within the original booking week.

What if I join and can’t attend my usual class?

Most classes and courses now charge by booking in advance to keep running, but there are no options if you can’t make it to your usual class. HOWEVER – all students can swap to other classes for genuine reasons. No cancellation of your usual class or additional booking is required, it’s an honesty box policy.

BONUS OPTION if you cannot attend any class at all, any week you do not have to lose it. You can if you wish, catch up by attending 2 sessions in any ONE week that you choose, as long as you are a member. You do not have to do this if you don’t want to.

IF you do wish to make up missed sessions there is no time limit in which to do so, for as long as you are a member. Students often find they wait until they have a week where they are less busy to top up on their me time and relaxation time. Attending more than one yoga session a week can give you better results, and many students find this helpful.

DO YOU HAVE CHILDREN – membership BENEFIT FOR SCHOOL HOLIDAYS – Children aged 10 – 15 years – classes are FREE OF CHARGE in school holiday time only for any eligible children you may have. Outside school holidays the standard term fee applies. No need to miss your class if you can’t get child care in the holidays.

What if classes are full on enquiry

It’s worthwhile to be patient and join the waiting list if classes are full because places can open at any time. People leave for various reasons. Full classes indicate good teaching quality and enjoyment. There’s no fee for registering and waiting. If your situation changes while you wait, you’re not required to take the spot when it becomes available; it will simply go to someone else. Just let me know when I contact you. You can always get in touch with me later when it’s a better time for you.

Are you Expecting a baby?

Sorry, pregnant ladies are not permitted in general mainstream classes. Pregnancy Yoga is specialised. You are always welcome once your baby has arrived, and it will benefit & compliment motherhood greatly.

Class Guarantee:

Your classes are safe. In the event classes have to close due to any unforeseen circumstances or future lockdowns (Covid), your unused classes will get carried over to when classes reopen. It is up to you to return and use them. The yoga school has been running since 2002 and survived the pandemic, which saw three lock down periods and each time students eagerly returned to enjoy their classes once again.
