CLASSES / WORKSHOPS / SPECIAL EVENTS 

Registrations (via Fitogram, Website, WhatsApp and E-mail) + Payment Guidelines

With the booking and transfer of the participation fee, a student accepts our terms and conditions. Registration for our offers is binding on both sides. This means that you are entitled to a place in the respective offer and BORN YIN YOGA to the invoice amount due. The prices vary depending on the offer and can be seen under the respective offer description. Pre-registration for workshops, special events and classes is recommended. Class offers are recommended to be booked through our Fitogram online booking system (on Born Yin Yoga class schedule page of website: https://shawnkrussell.com/born-yin-yoga/) where a corresponding customer account must be used. All workshop and special event offers are to be booked over Fitogram, by E-mail to mail@shawnkrussell.com or via links on https://shawnkrussell.com/born-yin-yoga-experiences/. Once the class/event/workshop participation fee is received, the customer’s place is reserved for the given experience or class. Payment is made either via online payment directly through Fitogram, by cash in the studio, after wiring the appropriate amount via bank transfer, or by confirming the customer has credit remaining on a previously purchased class pass. If spontaneous participation in a class or experience is possible without prior notification, the payment must be paid before the start of the event at the Born Yin Yoga studio.

Refunds & Cancellation Policy

Weekly scheduled classes can only be cancelled and refunded 12 or more hours before a class begins. Please note that Born Yin cannot refund the amount transferred or due in the event of any workshop or special event cancellation made by a booked participant. However, if the participant is unable to take part in the workshop themselves, the participant can transfer their paid booking to a new participant. In this case, please send Born Yin Yoga an e-mail indicating the full name of the new participant along with their e-mail address at least 12 hours before the start of the workshop or special event. If a workshop or special event does not take place due to circumstances on Born Yin Yoga’s part, we will refund 100% of the workshop or special event fee back to the booked participant. 

CLASSES

  • Classes are offered on-site in the Born Yin Yoga studio and ONLINE via livestream. The classes are marked accordingly in the class schedule.
  • All class participants are obliged to practice yoga responsibly and with consideration for their own needs and conditions. The responsibility to clarify health risks in advance with a doctor or specialist and to obtain confirmation of willingness to participate in a physically demanding yoga practice rests with the class participant. The responsibility to inform the teaching teacher in advance about existing health conditions and to clarify the possibility of participation also lies with the participant.
  • The various class passes and prices available for a class can be selected during the booking process. Some products can only be redeemed for the ONLINE offer and are marked accordingly.
  • Classes and class passes are recommended to be booked through our Fitogram booking system and a corresponding customer account set-up and used. The participation fee is payable when booking via online payment.
  • Drop-in/walk-in participants are welcome for classes (if class spots are still available). Participants must register with the class teacher in the studio and must pay by cash only, if a new class pass is required.
  • Class times: The classes start punctually at the time specified in the class schedule. Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the start of your class. At the beginning of the class, the studio doors and online access will be closed and entry is no longer possible. The right to the booked class reservation expires in the event of non-appearance at the beginning of the class and a reimbursement of the class fee is not permitted. The class should not be disturbed after it has started (knocking, calling, etc.).
  • All class offers are suitable for participants without severe physical limitations or illnesses requiring medical treatment. Unless explicitly stated in the class description, the offers are not suitable for pregnant women.

CLASS PASSES

  • Passes for group yoga classes can currently be purchased through online registration and online payment methods offered on Fitogram and the Born Yin Yoga website (www.shawnkrussell.com/). Class passes can also be purchased by cash payment at the Born Yin Yoga Studio. All fees must be paid in full prior to the start of a class. Down payments or partial payments are not permitted.
  • Class passes can only be used during a specified period. It is not possible to extend the period to unlimited use. Exception: In the event of illness lasting more than three weeks, a timeline card can be extended free of charge for the period of illness upon presentation of a medical certificate. Please inform Born Yin Yoga about this by e-mail at mail@shawnkrussell.com
  • Payments once made are non-refundable.
  • All class passes are for personal use and are non-transferable. Exceptions of this are, when booking the pass, clarifying that the pass will be shared with one’s partner or family member. This is to be agreed upon with Born Yin before use of the pass begins.
  • For all classes, the participant is recommended to register for the class in advance using the Fitogram online booking software. The creation of a customer account is a prerequisite for this. Cancellation at a later date is not possible (exception: when purchasing a single-ticket, the participation fee can be cancelled and reimbursed up to 12 hours before the start of the class). Students using a Partner Tool (i.e. Urban Sports Club) must register via the USC-App and abide by the AGB of Urban Sports Club.
  • A participant is entitled to attend all regularly scheduled classes offered by Born Yin Yoga Studio. All workshops, experiences, private one-on-one sessions & special events are excluded from this.

CLASS SCHEDULE UPDATES

Peace Out Yoga reserves the right to change the class schedule on short notice and/or in exceptional cases. This applies in particular to short-term closure and maintenance work or possible company holidays, which are announced to the class participants well in advance. On and between public holidays, class schedules may be reduced or canceled. A class participant has no entitlement to reimbursement as this has already been taken into account in the price calculation.

LIABILITY

By using a service from Shawn K Russell (Born Yin Yoga Studio), a participant confirms that he / she is physically healthy and fit for sport. Particularly in the case of health issues (illnesses, injuries, pregnancy, etc.), the participant must independently obtain the consent of a doctor to carry out the yoga practices.

Born Yin is liable for the proper functioning of yoga props provided by the studio. However, Born Yin Yoga Studio is not liable for accidents or damage to health caused by the participant as a result of participating in a class, workshop, special event or experience from Born Yin Yoga, unless there is a grossly negligent or willful breach of duty.
