Requested prior to 2 weeks before the class: 1/2 of deposit transferred.
Requested within 2 weeks of the start of class: the deposit is nontransferable/ nonrefundable.

Exceptions, Children & Teenagers, and Repeaters:
Tuition for Children & Teenagers under 18 years old is 30 % off. Deposits are as above.
Repeaters of any class except Karmic Intensives, Earthshift Intensives, Meditation Intensives and Fascia receive 25 % off tuition, if there is space.
Payment by Credit Card & 3rd Party:
If the credit card used is ‘foreign’ relative to the country of the bank that it must be processed through, a foreign transaction fee will be added to the amount. If a 3rd party, such as PayPal, is used to process the card, their fees will be added to the amount.
Bounced Checks: Each bounced check incurs an Administration fee charge of $30.
Class Cancellation and Date-Change Policies Policy for all classes except Basic):
If a class is canceled or its date is changed more than 3 months before it starts, or if low registration or events out of our control require this closer to class, or if an emergency requires this in the middle of a class, then all deposit and tuition payments will be refunded, but the student is responsible for the costs of canceled or re-booked travel arrangements and for any other costs incurred. If a class is canceled or its date is changed less than 3 months before class for other reasons, then the teacher is responsible for 50% of the cost of pre-booked airline or rail tickets only, and only for students with confirmed paid deposits received before the change.
* Unless other arrangements are agreed to at the time of booking.
