Fee Policy | Embody | Yoga and Dance

Fee policy for classes
For most classes, there is a scale of fees. I ask you to be responsible for paying the appropriate rate for you. I don't do any checks. Take this as a part of your practice – it is! Please take into account your circumstances. If you’re a retired person with two pensions and your own home, or a student supported by a well-paid partner, you’re probably not in financial hardship. You may be if you’re supporting other people and on a low wage. Please be aware that:

Classes and events have to be financially viable in order to take place.
The giving and receiving of teaching is grounded in a balanced exchange of energies.
This work is the way I make my living.
Among the ethical foundations of yoga are satya, ‘honesty’, and asteya, ‘taking only what we are entitled to’.

If you can realistically pay the full rate, please pay it. If you need a subsidised class, then please do take one. If you are struggling to pay any fee, please get in touch. I want classes to be accessible to everyone, irrespective of income.

Cancellation policy
For classes there is a 24-hour cancellation policy. Please log into your account to cancel. If you have given 24 hours’ notice, a class pass will be credited to your account. If you have given less than 24 hours’ notice, no class credit will be given and your payment cannot be refunded or transferred. Class passes must be used within three months and cannot be refunded or extended if not used within that period.

It’s your responsibility to check the time, date and venue of your class. Classes cannot be refunded or exchanged if you arrive at the wrong time or place.

For one-to-one sessions there is a 48-hour cancellation policy. Please contact me if you need to cancel. If you have given 48 hours’ notice, we will reschedule your session. If you have given less than 48 hours’ notice, your payment cannot be used for another session or refunded. Blocks of sessions must be used within six months and cannot be refunded or extended if not used within that period.
