Terms & Conditions

These terms govern every course, retreat and drop-in class booked with Alpesh Yoga at our Arambol, Goa and Bhagsu, Dharamshala campuses. By submitting an application or making a payment, you agree to be bound by them.

Applying online is free and takes about two minutes; no payment is required to apply. We review every application and confirm availability, usually within 24 hours, before any payment is requested. Your seat is reserved once your deposit is received — see our Refund Policy for deposit amounts and the transfer rule. The remaining balance is paid in cash or by bank transfer on arrival, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Our courses and retreats are open to adults aged 18 and above. The 300 hour course additionally requires a completed 200 hour Yoga Alliance registered certificate (from any school, not necessarily ours). You must disclose any medical conditions, injuries or physical limitations on your application so our teachers can adapt your practice safely; if in doubt, check with your doctor before booking.

• Attend classes punctually and participate respectfully toward teachers and fellow students.
• Alcohol and recreational drugs are not permitted during course hours or on shala premises.
• Respect quiet hours at shared accommodation, for the benefit of other residents.
• Follow any safety instructions given by teachers during practice.

We reserve the right to ask a student to leave a course without refund if their conduct seriously disrupts the training or endangers themselves or others.

To receive your Yoga Alliance registered certificate, you must attend the required minimum percentage of contact hours and complete the course’s written and/or practical assessment. Teachers will let you know at the start of your course what is required. Certificates are issued after successful completion; partial attendance may result in a letter of participation instead of a certificate.

Yoga is a physical activity that carries an inherent risk of injury. By enrolling, you confirm you are medically fit to participate and that you do so at your own risk. Alpesh Yoga is not liable for injury, illness, loss or damage except where caused by our proven negligence. We strongly recommend you arrange travel and health insurance covering your entire stay in India, including any activities outside the shala. We are not responsible for personal belongings brought onto the premises.

Photos and videos taken during classes, ceremonies and group activities may be used on our website, social media and marketing materials. If you would prefer not to be included, let your teacher know in writing at the start of your course. Course manuals and materials are provided for your personal study only and may not be resold or redistributed.

Occasionally a teacher, timing or minor part of the itinerary may change for reasons beyond our control; we will notify you as soon as possible and, wherever practical, without reducing the quality of your training. If we cancel a batch entirely, see our Refund Policy for what happens to your payment.

Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, government travel restrictions, or public health emergencies. In such cases we will work with you in good faith on a transfer or alternative arrangement.

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts local to the relevant campus (Goa or Himachal Pradesh).

We may update these terms from time to time; the “last updated” date above will always reflect the most recent version. Continuing to use our services after an update means you accept the revised terms.
