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, booking platform, or associated services indicates your agreement to these Terms & Conditions.
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 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. Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes, restricts, or modifies any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable Australian law.
Students are encouraged to listen to their bodies and practise safely within their personal limits. You may decline any posture, physical adjustment, or instruction at any time.
Please notify the instructor before class of any injuries, illnesses, pregnancy or post-natal considerations, sensitivities, or other conditions relevant to your participation, and update this information when circumstances change.
Livestreaming Notice
From time to time, classes may be livestreamed by the instructor. The camera is positioned only on the teacher and does not film students. The livestream does not affect the class experience, and participation acknowledges the presence of recording equipment in the room.
Refunds & Cancellations
All class purchases are non-refundable for change of mind, non-attendance, or late arrival.
If you are unable to attend, please cancel your booking as early as possible to allow another student to take your place.
In compassionate or unforeseen circumstances (for example illness, injury, or emergencies), dispensation may be granted at the discretion of Sthira Yoga Academy, and a class credit or reschedule may be offered.
Bookings cannot be transferred to another participant.
Sthira Yoga Academy does not currently impose an automatic late-cancellation fee. Any future change to cancellation arrangements will be communicated through the applicable booking terms and studio policies.
Workshops, Courses & Events
All workshops, courses, and events require advance payment to secure your place.
Unless otherwise stated at the time of booking, these bookings are non-refundable and non-transferable.
If Sthira Yoga Academy cancels or materially reschedules an event, affected participants will be contacted regarding the available options.
Digital Consent & Records
When completing a booking online, you may be required to confirm that you have read and agreed to these Terms & Conditions.
This acknowledgement forms part of your booking record and confirms your agreement to the applicable terms when completing your booking or purchase.
Privacy
Personal information provided to Sthira Yoga Academy is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy requirements.
Health and wellbeing information voluntarily provided for the purpose of supporting your practice will be used for that purpose and handled with appropriate care.
Amendments
Sthira Yoga Academy may revise or update these Terms & Conditions from time to time.
The current version will be made available through the Sthira Yoga Academy website or booking platform.
We encourage you to review the current Terms & Conditions periodically.
