Yoga & Ayurveda Retreat

PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS

No special prior knowledge is required and the retreat is open to all yoga levels and experience stages. Participants must be at least 18 years old.

Your wellbeing and that of the other participants is very important to us. Regarding COVID-19 (Corona), we ask for your cooperation and compliance with the following requirements for participation in the upcoming event:

• I have no acute cold symptoms, feel healthy, and have no acute illness.

• No home quarantine or other isolation measure has been ordered for me.

• I have had no contact with infected persons in the last two weeks.

Any changes to the above requirements must be reported immediately and without being asked.

NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS

The number of participants is limited, so registrations are processed in the order they are received. We therefore recommend registering early. If the retreat is already fully booked, you will receive a message that you have been placed on the waiting list and will be promptly notified of any available spot.

COVID-19 Special Provision: Should Corona result in a restriction on the number of participants, we reserve the right to limit attendance to a level that ensures safe participation for all. Registration order applies here as well.

BOOKING CONFIRMATION AND PAYMENT

A binding booking is made upon payment of the deposit of €800 and written booking confirmation (by email) from the organizer. A 24-hour cancellation period applies after the contract is concluded. The total price is €1,450 for the retreat including yoga, workshops, board and lodging in a double room, excluding travel. If booking and deposit are made before April 30, 2026, an early bird discount of €160 applies (early bird total price €1,290).

The single room surcharge is €400. A single room can only be guaranteed while available.

The deposit is to be paid by bank transfer to the organizer within 10 days of invoicing. The remaining balance is due no later than 4 weeks before the retreat begins.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Cancellation of retreat participation is only valid if received by us in writing (letter or email). Refunds are as follows:

• Up to 3 months before the retreat: 100% refund

• Up to 4 weeks before the retreat: 1/3 (€500) of the fee will be refunded

• Cancellations less than 4 weeks before the retreat: no refund

We also need planning certainty. Cancellation fees can be avoided by naming a substitute person, who must be communicated to us in writing no later than one working day before the retreat begins.

COVID-19 Special Rules for Inability to Attend: We must be informed in writing at least 7 days before the retreat if attendance is impossible due to a COVID-19 illness, related quarantine requirements, or another illness. If this does not happen, no refund will be issued. If the 7-day notice is given, 30% of the fees will be refunded. If canceling under the COVID-19 special rule, you must inform us of your specific circumstances and provide relevant documentation.

The fee covers the stated total amount for retreat content, accommodation and meals (including fees and ancillary costs).

If a participant only partially attends the event, no reduction will be granted. We do not refund costs for meals not eaten during the retreat, nor accommodation and meal costs for late arrival or early departure.

CHANGES / CANCELLATION BY THE ORGANIZER

The organizer reserves the right to make changes to the retreat program. Participants will be promptly informed of any changes or cancellations caused by illness, COVID-19-related accommodation bans, or unforeseen events such as force majeure. In such cases, payments will be refunded within 7 business days.

LIABILITY

Each participant bears full responsibility for themselves and their actions during the retreat as well as during travel to and from the event. The retreat management is free from any insurance-related or other claims by participants. Participation is at the participant's own responsibility and assumes normal physical and psychological resilience. Please inform us of any physical or psychological conditions before the retreat begins. This offering is not a substitute for medical, naturopathic, or psychotherapeutic treatment. If necessary, clarify with your doctor or therapist that participation is safe for you.

By registering, you are expressly informed that you take full responsibility for your actions within and outside the group, and release the retreat management from any liability claims. No liability is accepted for participants' personal belongings, including any provided learning materials.

PHOTO AND VIDEO RECORDINGS

The organizer and team will capture the most beautiful moments of our shared retreat time in the form of video sequences and photos. Care will always be taken to respect the personal space and privacy of each participant and not to interfere disruptively with coaching processes. Selected recordings will be used for the social media and website of Lydia Hartmann & Anne Schulenburg to present the retreat to future interested parties. Upon request, the best recordings will be made available to participants after the retreat ends.

CONFIDENTIALITY

You commit to handling all information shared by other participants confidentially and to maintaining discretion about the personal experiences of others. Respectful conduct and discretion are an important element of each individual's personal protection.
