Core Life Yoga Retreats – Terms & Conditions

1. Booking & Deposit

  • Your retreat booking is confirmed once a $500 non-refundable deposit has been received via the Core Life Yoga website.

  • Participants under 18 may attend if accompanied by a guardian 18+ years old and approved by Core Life Yoga prior to 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 EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) – details will be provided.

  • Payments by credit card will incur a 2.5% service fee.

Pricing & Adjustments

  • Prices are subject to availability and can be withdrawn or varied at Core Life Yoga’s discretion without notice.

  • Prices may change due to factors beyond our control, such as currency fluctuations, fuel surcharges, taxes, or supplier increases.

4. Cancellation Policy

  • It is the participant's responsibility to read and understand the cancellation policy before booking.

  • If you cancel at least three (3) months before the retreat start date and we are able to fill your spot, any payments beyond the non-refundable deposit can be credited toward a future Core Life Yoga Retreat within 12 months of cancellation.

  • Cancellations 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, to be used within 12 months of cancellation.
