VIRTUAL TRAINING POLICIES:
Schedule Changes: Contact Customer Service at 1-833-YOGAFIT (833-964-2348) or info@yogafit.com, as soon as possible if your schedule changes. YogaFit strives to be flexible with your training plans, within reason. Multiple or extraneous transfers and cancellations may result in additional transfer fees and material fees. Because supplemental materials are mailed to each student for virtual Level Five Trainings, cancellations and requests to transfer with less than 14 days notice will not be eligible for a refund and will incur a $100 fee.
Cancellations within 48 hours: Trainees canceling a virtual training with less than 48 hours’ notice will not be eligible for a refund or transfer. Virtual trainings are confirmed to run based on a minimum number of trainees (6 for one day trainings and 8 for two day trainings). Last-minute cancellations prevent YogaFit from filling the space in the training, and potentially prevent a trainee on the wait list from attending. Customers not attending a training and failing to contact YogaFit® in advance (i.e.: “no-shows”) will forfeit all registration fees and no refund/credit will be issued.
Cancellation or Transfer requests with less than 7 days’ notice: A $100 transfer fee, in addition to any additional training fees, will be incurred when a trainee requests a transfer to another training within 7 days of the original training date. You will be placed on a list for the training that you wish to transfer to, and if there are spaces available 5 days prior to the training, you will be added. We cannot guarantee space in the requested training.
Credit on file: While credit on file can be used toward virtual trainings, we are unable to transfer credit from one country to another (i.e.: If you received credit on file due to a cancellation or postponement of a US training, that credit can ONLY be used toward another US training).
Training Minimums: YogaFit requires a minimum of 6 attendees for virtual one day and virtual two day trainings, and a minimum of 8 attendees for virtual four day trainings. If the training does not meet the minimum, YogaFit will provide a list of other date options.
Once a discount code or early bird rate has expired, it will not carry over when transferring to a different training or conference. Coupon codes are not retroactive and will not be applied to transfer requests.
These policies are not meant to be punitive. Rather we want to ensure that as many people as possible have the opportunity to register for trainings. We understand that these are unprecedented times and that work schedules may change rapidly. Please reach out to edu@yogafit.com with any special circumstances. In addition, we are not able to honor transfer requests from 2021 trainings at this time.
VIRTUAL INTENSIVE POLICIES
1. Customers canceling with 30 days’ notice or more are entitled to a refund of paid registration fees, less the non-refundable $500.00 deposit.
2. Customers canceling with less than 30 days’ notice are not entitled to a refund and forfeit the $500.00 deposit. The remaining balance is kept on file as a credit to be applied to a future teacher training within the 12 months from the date the order was processed. Any remaining balances due must be paid two weeks prior to the training.
3. Customers not attending a training and failing to contact YogaFit in advance (i.e., “no-shows”) will forfeit all registration fees; no refund/credit will be issued.

Customers not attending a training and failing to contact YogaFit® in advance (i.e.: “no-shows”) will forfeit all registration fees and no refund/credit will be issued.
Due to travel and shipping logistics, YogaFit must confirm or cancel trainings 3 weeks prior to the start date. Therefore, customers canceling with less than 14 days’ notice are NOT entitled to a refund. The options are:
1) Transfer to another training at the time of cancellation, incurring a $50 transfer fee. Transferring from a regular training to an MBF training will incur a $50 transfer fee and any difference in price. Transferring from one MBF Conference to another MBF Conference will incur a $50 transfer fee.
2) Receive a Credit on File to apply toward any future teacher training, with a $50.00 transfer fee. (In case of emergency, exceptions can be made. Please contact Customer Service. A Doctor’s note may be requested). Once the credit has been redeemed and an additional cancellation/transfer is made, the money will be placed as another credit on file, cannot be refunded, and an additional $50 fee will apply.
Trainees requesting to transfer to another course at any time will incur a $50.00 transfer fee. Current training rates will apply.

YogaFit is not responsible for natural disasters, earthquakes, missed travel arrangements, or any other unfortunate circumstances that may cause a student to miss a training date. In the event that there is an emergency situation beyond your control, please contact our Customer Service Department immediately to discuss your options.
