Core Life Yoga Retreats – Terms & Conditions

1. Booking & Deposit

Your retreat booking is confirmed once a non-refundable deposit of $500 per person ($600 for New Zealand retreats) has been received.

It is strongly recommended that participants arrange comprehensive travel insurance at the time of booking. Insurance should cover travel and medical expenses, retreat activities, and trip cancellation due to personal emergencies or unforeseen retreat cancellations.

2. Age Requirement

Participants must be at least 18 years old to attend a Core Life Yoga Retreat.

Participants under 18 may attend only if accompanied by a guardian aged 18+ and approved by Core Life Yoga prior to booking.

3. Payment Policy

A non-refundable deposit of $500 ($600 NZ) is required to secure your booking.

For international retreats, the remaining balance must be paid at least three (3) months before the retreat start date.
For domestic retreats (Australia), the remaining balance is due at least two (2) months before the retreat start date.

If the retreat is booked within three (3) months (international) or two (2) months (domestic) of the retreat start date, full payment is required at the time of booking.

Failure to pay the balance by the due date may result in cancellation of your reservation, with Core Life Yoga retaining the deposit.

Payment Methods & Fees

Payments beyond the deposit can be made via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) – details will be provided upon booking.
Payments made by credit card will incur a 2.5% service fee.

4. Pricing & Adjustments

All retreat prices are based on current availability and supplier rates. Prices may be adjusted prior to booking if there are changes in factors beyond our control, such as currency fluctuations, fuel surcharges, taxes, or supplier increases.

Once your deposit has been received, your booking and price are guaranteed.

Core Life Yoga reserves the right to update prices if necessary before a booking is confirmed, but we are committed to transparency and will always communicate any changes clearly.

5. Cancellation Policy

Please take the time to read and understand this cancellation policy before making your booking.

  • If you cancel your booking at least three (3) months before the retreat start date for international retreats, or two (2) months before for domestic (Australia) retreats, and we are able to fill your place, any payments made beyond the non-refundable deposit may be credited toward a future Core Life Yoga retreat. This credit is valid for 12 months from the date of cancellation.

  • Cancellations made within three (3) months of the retreat start date are non-refundable and non-transferable.

  • If you qualify for a credit, it may be transferred to a nominated person upon request, provided it is used within 12 months of the original cancellation date.

No Refunds for Late Arrivals, Early Departures, or Non-Participation

Core Life Yoga does not offer refunds, credits, or compensation for:

  • Late arrival

  • Early departure

  • Non-participation in any aspect of the retreat

6. Retreat Location & Changes

Core Life Yoga reserves the right to change the retreat location if unforeseen circumstances arise (e.g., venue unavailability, construction, natural events, or other disruptions). In such cases, Core Life Yoga will ensure that the standard of accommodation and facilities is maintained at an equivalent partnering villa or retreat centre.

In the unlikely event that a retreat must be cancelled by Core Life Yoga (for reasons such as minimum numbers not being met, natural disasters, travel restrictions, or other circumstances beyond our control), participants will be offered either:

  • A full refund of payments made, or

  • The option to transfer booking to a future Core Life Yoga retreat.

Core Life Yoga is not responsible for any additional expenses incurred by participants, such as flights, travel insurance, or other personal costs.

7. Participant Conduct & Discretionary Cancellation

Core Life Yoga reserves the right to refuse or cancel a participant’s booking at any time if it is deemed that their behaviour, background, or circumstances may impact the safety, integrity, or experience of the retreat for others. In such cases, the Cancellation Policy (Section 5) will apply.

8. Policy Amendments

Core Life Yoga reserves the right to modify or amend these terms and conditions at any time. The most current version will always apply.

By booking a Core Life Yoga Retreat, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms & Conditions.
