All students and clients are responsible for reading, understanding, and following the guidelines and policies outlined below. These policies help us create a welcoming, respectful, and mindful experience for everyone.

YOGA CLASSES — IN-STUDIO & ONLINE

Please reserve your space in advance by booking through the Santosha Mindfulness website as well as through the Live Yoga Teachers link located under the Classes tab.  

Please review our cancellation, late-arrival, and no-show policies before booking.

ARRIVAL & CHECK-IN

To support a peaceful and uninterrupted experience for everyone:

• In-Studio and SUP yoga Classes: Please arrive approximately 15 minutes before your scheduled class to allow time to settle in and prepare.

• Online Classes: Please be logged in and ready 5 minutes before the scheduled start time.

Once class begins, late entry may not be permitted, depending on the setting and instructor.

Classes and workshops in person or online shall not be recorded by the student.

Personal Responsibility

I agree to listen to my body and participate only within my own abilities and comfort level. I understand that instructors may offer guidance, modifications, or adjustments, but I remain responsible for my own participation and decisions.

I understand that I may stop participating in any activity at any time if I experience pain, discomfort, dizziness, shortness of breath, or any other concerning symptoms.

Online Classes

For online classes, I understand that I am responsible for creating a safe space in which to participate. I agree to remove obstacles and hazards, use appropriate equipment, and avoid participating in locations where I may be distracted or at risk of injury. Santosha Mindfulness is not responsible for hazards or conditions within my personal environment.

 

No-Show Policy

If you are unable to attend a class or workshop will be considered a No-Show. No-shows result in the forfeiture of the class or workshop purchase. Missed classes or workshops may not be transferred to another date or another individual.

CLASS & WORKSHOP CANCELLATION POLICY FOR:

SUP Yoga

For SUP Yoga classes, Santosha Mindfulness reserves the right to cancel a class due to weather conditions, safety concerns, or insufficient enrollment. When a class is canceled by Santosha Mindfulness, participants will receive a 100% refund to their original method of payment.

APPOINTMENT CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY

Appointments including Reiki sessions, private yoga sessions, and other individually scheduled services are nonrefundable once payment has been processed.

For appointment changes or cancellations, please follow the cancellation requirements provided at the time of booking. Phone and text-message cancellations are not accepted.

Thank you for honoring these policies and helping us maintain a mindful, respectful, and supportive environment for our Santosha Mindfulness community.

Photography & Media

I understand that Santosha Mindfulness may occasionally take photographs or videos during classes, workshops, retreats, or events for educational or promotional purposes.

Media Release:

Choosing “No” will not affect my ability to participate in Santosha Mindfulness activities.

Personal Belongings

I understand that I am responsible for my personal belongings and agree that Santosha Mindfulness is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal property. 

SUP Yoga & Outdoor Activities

For SUP yoga and other outdoor activities, I understand that participation may involve additional environmental and water-related risks.

I agree to follow all safety instructions provided by Santosha Mindfulness and the facility, outfitter, or location hosting the activity. I understand that weather, water conditions, equipment, and other environmental factors may affect the safety of an activity.

Santosha Mindfulness reserves the right to modify, postpone, or cancel an outdoor activity when conditions are determined to be unsafe.

Emergency Medical Care

In the event of an emergency, I authorize Santosha Mindfulness personnel, when reasonably necessary, to seek emergency medical assistance on my behalf. I understand that I am responsible for any medical, emergency, transportation, or related expenses incurred on my behalf.

WAIVER OF LIABILITY

Students are expected to sign a release of liability form for classes, workshops, and retreats. A release is already included when using the LIVE YOGA TEACHERS link. A waiver may also be required in person at events, workshops and classes.  

Before participating: All students must review and accept the Santosha Mindfulness Yoga Release & Liability Waiver prior to participating in a class, workshop, or private session. I understand the potential risks associated with participating in yoga and related wellness activities. I am voluntarily participating and accept responsibility for my own participation. I agree to follow the instructions and safety guidelines provided by Santosha Mindfulness instructors and facilitators. I understand that I should seek medical advice when appropriate before participating.
