My intention is to create a safe, calm and nurturing space for everyone. These guidelines simply help classes run smoothly and support fairness for all.

1. Booking & Payment

• All classes and courses must be booked in advance.

• Payment is required to secure your place.

• Spaces are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Payments are non-transferable to another person without prior agreement.

2. Cancellations & Refunds

By the participant

• Course bookings are non-refundable once the course has started.

• If you cancel before the course begins, a refund may be offered in line with our Booking & Cancellation policy.

• Missed classes cannot be refunded or carried forward, except at the teacher’s discretion in exceptional circumstances.

By the teacher

• If ever the class is cancelled by the teacher due to illness or unforeseen circumstances, a replacement class or suitable alternative will be offered.

3. Health & Responsibility

• By attending, you confirm you are fit to participate in yoga.

• You agree that you have consulted a medical professional in relation to any injuries, medical conditions, pregnancy, or health concerns and that they have declared you fit to participate in yoga.

• Participation is at your own risk.

• Always work within your own limits and rest when needed.

• Gentle Yoga with Laurie is not a medical service and does not replace professional medical advice.

• The teacher accepts no liability for injuries or loss arising from participation, except where caused by negligence.

5. Arrival & Late Policy

• Please arrive 5–10 minutes early to settle in.

• Late arrival may not be admitted once class has begun to protect the calm space.
