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 hours are you open?
We are typically available from 9am to 5pm PST, Monday to Friday, and available on the weekends for any pressing matters.
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 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 $500 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your spot on most retreats (some trips may require a $1000 deposit) The final balance is due approximately 00 to 100 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?
Visa, MasterCard, American Express, check, and cash are all accepted.
What is your payment and cancellation policy?
A non-refundable deposit of $500 (or $1000 for select trips) is required to hold your space. Final balances are due anywhere from 60 to 100 days prior to the start date of the trip. 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 there are a broad range of companies and policies to choose from, we recommend finding a plan that offers "cancel for any reason" travel insurance.
