B - Terms & Conditions for Serenity Yoga classes, workshops, courses

These terms and conditions apply to all services offered by Serenity Yoga, specifically to open classes (defined as yoga practice without prior registration and published in form of a written schedule) and workshops (special classes, including special courses, e.g. beginner’s courses with prior registration). By purchasing a valid product that gives the customer (in following: student) the right to participate in any of the above mentioned services, the student accepts the following terms and conditions:

1. Individual rights of use

a.) Purchase of a valid card/long term membership or registration to a workshop or Beginners course enables students to use the facilities of Serenity Yoga during the course of the class/workshop, as well as before and after practice. The student may use the facilities of Serenity Yoga for the purpose of getting changed and taking a shower. If a staff member of Serenity Yoga asks the student to identify themselves the student is obliged to do so. In case of refusal, the student may be denied access to the studio and classes/workshops.

b.) Generally, all services offered by Serenity Yoga are available to students. However, a legal right to any of these services does not exist. The number of class and workshop participants is limited. Some services may require specific personal conditions to be met by the student. If personal conditions are not met, Serenity Yoga has no obligation to render services to the student

c.) Participation in classes and workshops is only possible if students arrive at the studio on time. Due to organizational reasons and consideration of other participants, students arriving late will not be admitted once classes/workshops have started unless the teacher is ok.

d.) The student is required to behave in a non-disruptive manner as to not disturb classes/workshops, not break any objects found in the facilities of Serenity Yoga and not affect other participants negatively. During practice students are required to keep noise levels to a minimum. Smartphones, mobile Phones and other electronic devices are not permitted in the practice rooms (shalas). Out of consideration for other participants, students are required to adhere to the above stated rules. In case of severe violation of these rules and other directions given by Serenity Yoga staff members, for example through threatening behavior, verbal and physical abuse, sexual predatory behavior, theft, and insufficient hygiene, the student might be prohibited from entering the premises of Serenity Yoga permanently, irrespective of any membership or pass they might hold. Serenity Yoga is not required to reimburse the students for purchased products in such an event. To avoid conflicts amongst participants and to ensure the smooth running of classes/workshops, Serenity Yoga further has the right to deny rendering of services without stating the reasons. In this case Serenity Yoga will reimburse students the aliquot part of their remaining membership or pass.

2. Memberships and Conditions

a.) Passes/Cards/Contracts

Students may choose from the following passes/cards/contracts:

  • Drop In: A “Drop In” pass gives access to a single yoga practice or workshop. The usage of studio mats is included at no extra cost.

No extensions or refunds are given for passes. Passes, cards, and long term contracts are non-transferable. The right of usage can only be transferred for the attendance of workshops, before commencement of such.

Due to admission procedures also an already guaranteed place in the Yoga Teacher Training is non-transferable. Separate Terms and Conditions apply for the Yoga Teacher Training.

In case of a discounted membership (e.g. a Kitas Discount) the holder of the contract is required to inform Serenity Yoga of any changes affecting the eligibility for such a discount. If a person is no longer eligible for a discount, normal prices apply.

c.) Freezing in case of moving away, travels, illness and accidents

In the event that a student’s permanent address changes from the one they had at the commencement of their membership at Serenity Yoga, which leads to an unreasonable amount of travel time to the studio (one hour driving time is considered reasonable), or the student suffers from a medical condition that prevents them from attending classes (medical note required) for at least one year, the student may terminate a long term contract at the end of the month. In case of a medical condition, contracts can be terminated immediately in form of a written notice. In the case of a cancellation students are reimbursed the aliquot part of the monthly payment or will not be debited for future payments.

d.) Limited number of participants/schedule changes

Serenity Yoga offers mostly open classes. This means that attendance of the classes displayed in the schedule does not require a prior registration, but may be denied if the maximum amount of participants for a class has been reached. To reserve a spot, students may register online up to an hour before class starts. The facilities of Serenity Yoga have a limited capacity and therefore participation in a class cannot be guaranteed, unless students reserve their spot through prior through online registration. Students are required to arrive to class on time and are admitted in the order of their registration.

Short-term cancellation of classes due to unexpected and special reasons do not result in a price discount or a cancellation of contracts, provided the schedule of Serenity Yoga is otherwise adhered to and students have the option to take other open classes instead. This also applies to other schedule changes made with reasonable consideration by Serenity Yoga.

e.) Cancellations due to important reasons (not for block cards)

1 month period of written notice

Without interfering with other rights granted through these terms and conditions, Serenity Yoga and students are legally entitled to cancel individual passes due to important reasons under adherence to the 1-month notice period.
