Private Kundalini Yoga Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions apply to all private Kundalini Yoga sessions provided by Ardas Kundalini, whether booked individually or as part of private yoga session packages (‘packages’).
Full payment confirms your booking or package purchase and your acceptance of these Terms & Conditions. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.

Booking, rescheduling and cancellation

Private sessions and packages are non-refundable and non-transferable, subject to the provisions below.
A confirmed session may be rescheduled with at least 48 hours' notice, subject to availability. Each session may be rescheduled a maximum of two times. A request to reschedule with less than 48 hours' notice, or a further request after two changes have already been made, will be treated as a cancellation.
If you arrive late, we will use the time remaining rather than extending the session beyond the agreed finishing time.
For cancelled sessions, the amount paid will generally be non-refundable, and the same will usually apply to missed appointments. Where a session forms part of a package, it will be deducted from the remaining sessions in that package.
I recognise, however, that genuinely exceptional circumstances can arise and may exercise discretion where I consider it appropriate.

If I need to change or cancel your session

If I need to change the agreed date or time, I will give you as much notice as reasonably possible and will first seek to arrange a suitable alternative.
If we are unable to agree an alternative time, the fee for an individually booked session will be refunded. For package bookings, the affected session will remain available for you to use, with an appropriate extension to the package validity period where necessary. Where an alternative arrangement cannot reasonably be made, an appropriate refund will be provided for any session I am unable to deliver.
Changes made by me will not count towards your permitted rescheduling allowance.

Preparation before your session

Private sessions are prepared around a focus agreed in advance. We will discuss your intentions and what you wish to explore before I select the kriya and meditation and prepare the session.
Once the focus has been agreed and preparation has begun, significant changes may not be possible. If you wish to change the direction of a session, please let me know as early as possible so we can discuss what can reasonably be accommodated..

The nature of private yoga sessions

Private Kundalini Yoga sessions involve physical practice, breathwork, relaxation and meditation. Please let me know in advance about any relevant health conditions, injuries, pregnancy or other circumstances that may affect your participation, and work within your own capacity.
Sessions may also be arranged for two people, including Venus Kriyas, where agreed in advance. The person holding the booking must attend, and the appointment will count as one session, including where a package is being used.

Session format

Sessions may take place in person or online, according to the arrangements agreed when booking.
Online sessions depend on a reliable connection at both ends. Minor technical interruptions will be accommodated within the scheduled session, which will normally still finish at the agreed time.
If a significant and unforeseen issue on your side prevents the session from continuing, I may offer to reschedule the affected part of the session.
If a technical issue on my side prevents the session from taking place or continuing, the affected part will be rescheduled at no additional cost.
Sessions may only be recorded where this has been agreed in advance.


Materials

Any materials provided are done so for you personal use, and should not be republished or used commercially without permission.

Privacy and confidentiality

I treat information shared during consultations as private and confidential. It will not be disclosed to others except where required by law or where there is a serious safeguarding concern.
Further information about how personal information is handled is set out in the Ardas Kundalini Privacy Policy.

Individual session bookings

The date and time of an individual session will be agreed as part of the booking process.
If you request to reschedule, the session must be attended within two months of the original appointment date, subject to the rescheduling conditions above.
If I am unable to offer a suitable replacement date within that period, we will agree an appropriate extension.

Private yoga session packages

Packages are available for in-person or online teaching. Each package is valid only for the format purchased, unless an alternative arrangement has been agreed.
Packages have the following validity periods:

  • 3-session package: Valid for 3 months from the date of purchase.

  • 5-session package: Valid for 5 months from the date of purchase.

  • 10-session package: Valid for 10 months from the date of purchase.

All sessions must be attended within the applicable validity period. Any sessions remaining unused when a package expires will be forfeited and cannot be carried forward or refunded.
Where my availability has materially affected your ability to use your sessions within the validity period, an appropriate extension will be arranged.
Packages are for the use of the person who purchased them and cannot be shared with or transferred to another student, except where a session for two has been agreed in advance.
