POLICY AND PAYMENT

 

DEPOSIT

To reserve your spot on a retreat, a non-refundable booking fee of $150 is required upon all bookings for retreats within Australia and a $500 deposit for all international retreats and is fully refunded immediately if the retreat is full.

The deposit is non-refundable – however should you cancel your reservation 90 days or more before the start of the retreat, you may apply your deposit toward another one of my retreats.

FULL PAYMENT (WITHIN 60 DAYS OF RETREAT)

When you reserve, you may either pay in full or pay the deposit. Upon receipt of your payment you will be sent a confirmation of your deposit. Full payment is due 60 days prior to the start date of the yoga retreat.

Prices are based per person, twin share or for private rooms where specified and do not include flights or travel.  

CANCELLATION POLICY

Please note that there will be no refunds, credits or discounts for arriving late, leaving early, flight cancellations, travel delays or illness. If you cancel your participation in a retreat for any reason, the cancellation policy below will apply, with no exceptions. I wish I could compensate people for unforeseen circumstances (injury, family emergency, etc), but have costs already incurred when reserving retreat centres and hotels. The cancellation policy has been designed to be as compassionate as possible in the case that your plans change. But to protect yourself further, I strongly encourage you to purchase travel insurance.

IF YOU CANCEL THE YOGA RETREAT

a) 60 days or more prior to the start of the yoga retreat, you will be refunded the full retreat amount (minus your $150 or $500 booking fee). 

b) 31-60 days prior to the start of the yoga retreat, you will be refunded 50% of the full retreat amount credit of the cost of the full retreat (minus your $150 or $500 booking fee).

c) 0-30 days prior to the start of the yoga retreat, unfortunately you will forfeit your entire payment. 

To cancel, you must send an email stating that you wish to cancel to: cecily@cecilychun.com

IF I CANCEL THE YOGA RETREAT

In these unprecedented times for travel we are trying to make any COVID-19 related changes, cancellations and postponements as easy as possible. If your retreat is cancelled by us at any time up to the day of arrival you will be offered the option to:

  • Move to a new retreat date

  • Change your booking into an account credit

  • Receive a full refund

I cannot however compensate you for airfare, loss of work, and/or other travel costs incurred associated with preparing for your trip. In the unlikely event that I must cancel a yoga retreat due to weather, natural disaster or political upheaval, a refund cannot be guaranteed - it will be depending on receiving a refund from the venue/tour operator.  To cover these risks, I highly recommend you purchase travel insurance.

TRAVEL INSURANCE:

The best way to protect yourself from any unforeseen circumstance is to purchase travel insurance. Travel Insurance can protect you in case:
• you cancel your participation in the yoga retreat
• retreat is cancelled due to weather, natural disaster, or not enough participants to run the trip
• lost baggage
• medical expenses and the cost of repatriation should you become ill or injured

*We highly recommend our guests take out travel insurance with specific Covid-19 cancellation and curtailment provision which is now available from many reputable providers.
