At Sthira Yoga Academy, our Terms & Conditions are designed to support safety, clarity, and mutual respect within our community.
They reflect our philosophy of being steady, stable, and strong — providing a clear framework so that every student can feel confident, informed, and cared for in their yoga journey.
Your continued use of the Sthira Yoga Academy website, studio, or associated services indicates your consent to abide by and be legally bound by the following terms and conditions of use.
These terms, when read alongside our Privacy Policy, form the framework governing the relationship between you (the student, user, or visitor) and Sthira Yoga Academy Pty Ltd.
Studio Attendance
Students are asked to arrive on time and prepared for practice.
Classes begin promptly, and the front door is locked once a session has started to ensure a calm and secure environment. Late arrivals may not be admitted to class.
Please respect the studio as a quiet space. Mobile phones must be silenced and kept outside the practice area. Conversations should be kept to a minimum once inside the yoga room.
Props & Belongings
High-quality mats, cork blocks, bolsters, and straps are provided for student use.
We ask that all props are handled with care and returned neatly after class.
Sthira Yoga Academy does not take responsibility for loss or damage to personal items left in the studio.
Health & Safety
Yoga involves physical movement and carries inherent risks. By attending classes, workshops, or events at Sthira Yoga Academy, you acknowledge and accept full responsibility for your participation.
Engaging in physical exercise — including yoga postures, breathwork, and movement practices — may increase cardiovascular and respiratory activity and may occasionally cause sensations such as dizziness, shortness of breath, or muscular discomfort.
By choosing to participate, you confirm that you do so voluntarily and at your own risk, and that you waive any right to pursue compensation for injury, loss, or damage arising from participation in any Sthira Yoga Academy activities, except where required by Australian law.
Students are encouraged to listen to their bodies and practice safely within personal limits.
Please notify the instructor before class of any injuries, illnesses, or conditions that may affect your participation.
Refunds & Cancellations
All class purchases are non-refundable for change of mind, non-attendance, or late arrival.
In compassionate or unforeseen circumstances (e.g. illness, injury, or emergencies), dispensation may be granted at the discretion of Sthira Yoga Academy, and a class credit or reschedule may be offered.
If you are unable to attend, please cancel your booking as early as possible to allow another student to take your place.
Bookings cannot be transferred to another participant.
Workshops, Courses & Events
All workshops, courses, and events require advance payment to secure your place.
Unless otherwise stated, these bookings are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Digital Consent & Records
When completing a booking through the Sthira Yoga Academy website or BookingPress system, you will be required to tick a box confirming that you have read and agreed to these Terms & Conditions.

A timestamped record of this consent is securely stored within the booking system as proof of agreement before payment.

Sthira Yoga Academy reserves the right to revise, amend, or update these Terms & Conditions at any time without prior notice.
We encourage you to review this page periodically for any changes.
