FAQ

How long ago was International Yoga founded?

International Yoga was created in 2008 out of the belief that yoga and travel have the power to transform.

What are your business hours?

We are typically available from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm PST, Monday to Friday. 

What is included in the trip price?

The trip price includes all accommodations for the duration of the trip, breakfast, taxes, and most cultural excursions (if applicable). It will often included private or group airport transfers and other meals as well. Some things that are typically not included are airfare, gratuities, alcohol, and travel insurance.

When do I arrive or depart on a retreat?

The dates for our retreats indicate the arrival and departure dates of the trip. For example, if a trip runs from January 1st to January 8th, you would schedule your flight to arrive on the 1st and depart on the 8th. That said, we highly recommend arriving a day earlier whenever possible so that you can rest from your travels and adapt to any time changes before the actual retreat begins. Retreats typically begin in the late afternoon on the first day, and end the morning of the last day (exceptions may apply).

Does International Yoga book airfare?

Our expertise is in organizing all of the logistics on the ground, from the moment you arrive until you depart. We do not book airfare for you, but can recommend reputable travel agents to assist you, and always ask that you send us your itinerary to review before you purchase it. Please be sure to read the fine print about any restrictions on your ticket. Travel insurance is strongly recommended.

How do I register?

You can register at any time via our registration page. A $1000 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your spot on most retreats (More expensive trips may require a $2000 deposit) The final balance is typically due 150 - 120 days before the start date of the retreat. A detailed confirmation email will be sent to you upon registration, with lots of helpful information to prepare for your trip ahead!

What kind of payments do you accept?

You can choose to pay via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or American Express), Apple Pay, or directly from your bank account.

What is your payment and cancellation policy?

A non-refundable and non-transferable deposit is required to hold your space. Remaining balances are due anywhere between 150 - 120 days before the start date of the retreat. All payments are non-refundable after the final balance due date. All cancellation requests must be received in writing to [email protected]. We recommend you purchase travel insurance in case of cancellation due to weather, personal injury, political or environmental events, or any other unforeseen circumstance. Payments are non-transferable to another guest.

If I am traveling alone, will you match me with a roommate?

We will do our very best to match you with another traveler of the same gender, if this is your preference. If we are unable to find you a roommate, however, a single supplement fee will apply.

Do you recommend travel insurance?

We strongly recommend that you purchase travel insurance for your trip to cover any unexpected event that may delay or interrupt your travel. While we cannot advise on specific travel insurance plans, we highly recommend the reputable travel insurance aggregator InsureMyTrip. They are the best option to compare plans and find the right coverage for you. They have thousands of travel insurance plans and a one-of-a-kind recommendation engine to help travelers find the right plan. Most importantly, they will be there for you before, during, and after your trip if you should need anything - especially help with a claim with the provider.
