Terms and Conditions

Retreat Booking

A deposit of £250 is required to secure your Retreat space. A space is not confirmed until the deposit has been made. This is payable to Sarah Martini and is only refundable or transferable if the space can be filled.

The balance payment is due 10 weeks before the retreat - on or before 9th May 2020 (the "Deadline")- and is payable in British Pound Sterling to Sarah Martini via bank transfer. The amount payable is dependent on the type of accommodation that you choose. This payment covers your accommodation, welcome drinks and nibbles, daily breakfast Sunday to Thursday, daily fruit snacks, ten yoga sessions Sunday evening to Thursday morning and one mini workshop.

Retreat Cancellations

You are responsible for reading and understanding the cancellation policy before you make a reservation.

Of course, no one books with the expectation of cancelling or postponing their retreat, however unexpected things can happen so it is important that you have travel cancellation insurance once you have made your reservation.

Travel insurance is a condition of booking which you should take out from the time of booking. Please ensure that your insurance policy includes cancellation insurance to cover you for any unexpected cancellations by yourself, including but not limited to illness, bereavement, family emergencies, work conflicts, change of circumstances etc, and also in respect of medical expenses, injury, death and repatriation with adequate cover. Cancellations made by you after the Deadline will not be refunded or transferred to another retreat under any circumstances unless the space can be filled.

Sarah Martini will not be held responsible and no refunds will be made for any cancellation or curtailment due to factors beyond our control, including but not limited to:-

• Cancellations, delays or changes caused by war, threat of war, terrorist actions or threats, closure of airports, civil strife, industrial action, natural disaster, technical problems to transport, staff cancellations or other events beyond my control.

• Participants' medical or psychiatric/emotional conditions which may become apparent through practising yoga daily on retreat.

• Loss of, or damage to, personal property of participants.

In the very unlikely event that Sarah Martini is unable to teach on the retreat at short notice, for example due to but not limited to severe illness or bereavement, Sarah reserves the right to find a replacement teacher. In this situation no refunds will be issued. If no replacement teacher can be arranged and the retreat is cancelled any payments made to Sarah Martini will be refunded to you in full.

Your Wellbeing

Though practicing yoga is generally very safe and you will be in the hands of an experienced and knowledgable teacher, you are participating in any yoga activities at your own risk and are responsible for declaring any injuries, medical conditions or health conditions which could limit your ability or make the practice unsuitable prior to the retreat so that any relevant and necessary modifications or adjustments to the practice can be offered. Failure to declare could result in you being refused participation on the retreat. Sarah Martini reserves the right to refuse participation on a retreat to any individuals who the teacher deems the practice is unsafe or unsuitable for. This could be for reasons including but is not limited to addictions, severe depression, severe anorexia and mental health problems. If a condition has not previously been declared and results in you being refused admission on to the retreat then no refund will be given.

All yoga and meditation sessions are optional. Any personal health information will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. If you would prefer to discuss in person rather than by email please give Sarah a call. Physical or verbal aggression will not be tolerated and Sarah Martini Yoga reserves the right to remove disruptive or aggressive participants part way through a retreat. In this situation no refund will be given.
