Italy retreats
Retreat terms & conditions
These terms apply to our residential yoga retreats in Italy. They explain how booking works, what is included, and what happens if plans change. Paying your deposit means you accept them.
See the Italy retreat dates£200 deposit
A £200 deposit per person holds your place, and it is non-refundable.
Flights are yours to book
Flights are not included. You arrange and book your own flights.
Travel insurance
Please take out travel insurance when you book, covering cancellation and medical care.
Booking your place
Places on our Italy retreats are limited and are held in the order deposits arrive. A £200 deposit per person secures yours.
Your place is confirmed once we have received your deposit and sent you a booking confirmation by email. Please read it and tell us straight away if anything looks wrong.
The deposit
The £200 deposit is non-refundable. It is what holds your room and your place, and it is not returned if you change your mind, cancel, or are unable to travel for any reason.
Paying the deposit means you accept these terms.
Paying the balance
The balance is the retreat price less your deposit, and it is due by the date shown in your booking confirmation.
If the balance has not reached us by that date we may need to release your place, and the deposit stays non-refundable. If money is tight, talk to us early and we will always try to work something out with you.
All prices are per person and in pounds sterling (GBP).
Flights and travelling to the retreat
Flights are not included. Booking them is your own arrangement and your own booking.
We do not sell, arrange or manage flights, and we are not responsible for airline timetable changes, delays, cancellations or lost luggage. Please give yourself room to arrive calmly rather than cutting it fine.
Arrival and departure times to aim for, and any transfers we have arranged, are set out in your booking confirmation.
What is included
Everything included in your retreat is listed in your booking confirmation. Anything not listed there is not included, for example flights, travel insurance, airport transfers and personal spending.
If you need to cancel
Please tell us as soon as you know, using the contact page on our website, so we can make arrangements.
The £200 deposit is non-refundable, whatever the reason.
Your balance is refunded only if you find a replacement for your place: someone who takes your spot and pays for the retreat in your stead. Once their payment has cleared, we will refund your balance, less the deposit.
If no replacement is found, the balance is not refunded and your place is released.
Refunds are paid back to the original payment method.
If we need to change or cancel a retreat
Very occasionally we may have to change or cancel a retreat, for instance if we do not reach the numbers needed for it to go ahead. If we cancel, we will refund everything you have paid to us, including the deposit.
We cannot refund or cover flights, transfers or other travel costs you have booked, which is why insurance that covers cancellation matters.
Travel insurance
Please take out travel insurance when you book your flights, and check that it covers medical treatment, cancellation, cutting your trip short, delays and your luggage.
Do check it covers gentle yoga and any pre-existing conditions you have.
Your health and wellbeing
Please tell us at booking about any injury, medical condition, pregnancy or recent surgery, so we can look after you properly.
Our practice is gentle and you will never be pushed. Yoga is not a substitute for medical advice though, so if you are unsure whether a retreat is right for you, check with your doctor first.
You are free to rest, sit out or stop at any point, and to ask for whatever you need.
Rooms and who you are travelling with
Rooms and any sharing arrangements are set out in your booking confirmation. If you are travelling with someone and would like to be together, tell us when you book.
Photographs
We sometimes take photographs during a retreat. If you would rather not be in them, just tell us and we will make sure you are not.
Your details
We use the details you give us to manage your booking, take payment and keep you informed about your retreat.
If you have joined our mailing list, you will also receive occasional news and first word on future dates. You can unsubscribe at any time, and we never sell or share your details.
Anything else
If any of this is unclear, or you would like to ask about something before you book, please get in touch using the contact page. We would much rather answer a question now than have you worry about it later.
Any questions before you book?
Ask us anything about payments, flights, rooms or how the days will flow. We would rather answer a question now than have you wonder about it later.
