FAQ
What is the cancellation policy for this trip?
For bookings made prior to March 1, 2020: Your final balance payment was collected on January 17, 2020 and no further payments are due. As outlined in our Terms & Conditions these payments are final, non-refundable and non-transferable.
For bookings made after March 1, 2020: A $500 non-refundable and non-transferable deposit is required to secure your participation in this retreat. The final balance payment is due by January 7, 2022 and we will send you an invoice and a link to complete payment approximately one week in advance of the deadline. If you do not complete payment by the due date, the card on file will be automatically charged unless you advise us in advance of that date in writing that you are canceling. As provided in our Terms & Conditions all payments are final and non-refundable/non-transferable after January 7, 2022.
Do I need travel insurance?
Yes. As all payments to International Yoga are non-refundable, the purchase of travel insurance is strongly recommended to ensure you are covered should any unexpected event arise. A personal, political, environmental, health or weather-related incident or pre-existing medical condition may prevent or interrupt your travels. Should you elect to not purchase travel insurance, note that you will be assuming 100% of any costs incurred for trip cancellation or trip interruption.
There are a broad variety of policies and providers for you to choose from. Be sure to understand the fine print of the policy you select to ensure you know exactly what is and isn’t covered — especially if you are concerned you may need to cancel for COVID-19 / pandemic-related reasons which most carriers would cover only under a "Cancel for Any Reason" tier of coverage. IMPORTANT: in order to guarantee maximum coverage, most travel insurance providers require that you obtain a policy within 5-10 days of placing your initial deposit. Although International Yoga cannot advise on specific policies or providers, you may find this guide helpful.

What if I am traveling alone?
We get hundreds of travelers each year who go on retreat alone.
