If Katie J Yoga needs to cancel or postpone the Retreat due to ill health, under-subscription or any reason outside of her control you will be informed at the earliest convenience and offered a transfer to another Katie J Yoga Retreat, or receive a refund. If the transfer to a different Katie J Yoga Retreat occurs and your new room is more expensive or cheaper than the original price paid an additional invoice or part refund will be made accordingly.

Katie J Yoga will do everything in her control to ensure the agreed upon arrangements take place. She reserves the right to make insignificant changes. If a significant change has to be made in the agenda it will be substituted by an equal counterpart as a replacement. If there is any issue arising from this please raise at the time of communication and we can work together to find a solution. Please note the itinerary in marketing material is only proposed and subject to change, a final itinerary will be provided during the month your retreat will take place. Once at the Retreat you will be informed at the earliest opportunity if anything has had to change for example due to the weather forecast.

 Payment, Cancellation & Changes

Payment: Overnight Retreats

Bookings are taken via We Travel, in order to make the booking you will need to pay a non-refundable deposit payment of £100 per person to confirm the booking (£100 for single room, £200 for double occupancy, £300 for triple occupancy). Remaining payment required approximately 2 months prior to event. You will be sent reminders for payment prior to the due date. If you have confirmed your place at a Retreat by paying the deposit, but Katie J Yoga does not receive full payment by the date requested she will send a follow up email. If payment still hasn’t been made after 7 days a late fee of £5 will be added. This will increase by £5 increments each week until the 4th week, see below:

0 - 7 Days – Grace period

8 - 14 Days - £5 late fee

15 - 21 Days - £10 late fee

Where payment is more than 21 days late Katie J Yoga reserves the right to treat the booking as cancelled, will keep the non-refundable deposit and re-advertise the room.

Cancellation: Overnight Retreats

If you wish to cancel your place at a Retreat after the deposit payment has been made you must inform Katie J Yoga in writing as soon as possible (info@katiejyoga.com). The guest & Katie J Yoga will try to find a replacement for the booking – if a replacement is found a refund (minus non-refundable deposit) will be returned to the guest. The person taking the replacement must pay the agreed amount to confirm the exchange. If a replacement cannot be found the guest is still liable to full payment and will need to claim on their travel insurance. It is a condition of booking that all guests must have full comprehensive holiday insurance including cancellation, medical and third party cover.

Changes: Overnight Retreats

Changes will be accommodated where possible – but not always possible depending on the request. Changes cannot be made less than 2 months from the Retreat start date.

If you need to change your room at a Retreat this will incur a £25 fee.

If notified more than 2 months before the event date, it is possible to postpone your booking to another Katie J Yoga Retreat, however this will incur a £75 fee. There are no changes allowed once the full payment has been made (2 months prior to the Retreat).

Day Retreats

Full payment is required on booking, this is non-refundable, but transferable to another Retreat Day if you are no longer able to attend with a minimum 1 month warning. There will be a £25 admin fee to change the booking, plus any additional fee if the Retreat Day you are being moved to has an additional cost. If you need to cancel with less than a month to the Retreat Day you need to find a replacement to receive a refund, once your replacement has paid you will receive a refund minus a £25 admin fee.

 Insurance
