The Ground We Share

Terms of Exchange & Understanding

Spiral

At Yoga Nature, we walk alongside the rhythms of the Earth and honour the interconnectedness of all beings. In that spirit, these agreements help us nurture clarity, balance and mutual respect within our community. Please take a moment to read with care.

General Flow 

Check the Space Before You Step In  
Before joining a class, please reach out to Jo or Ben to check whether there is room in the circle. Every mat matters. 

Energy Exchange in Advance 
To support the sacred container we hold, all classes, modules, and workshops are to be paid for in advance, unless another arrangement has been made directly with Jo or Ben. 


Rhythm & Responsibility 

Monthly Energy Exchange 
Payments are due by the 1st of each month, set up as a rolling standing order. This steady rhythm supports your practice and helps us hold the space reliably. 

Missed a Class? 
Life moves in waves. If you miss a class you've paid for, you’re welcome to attend another session, if space allows. Please offer at least 2 hours notice so we can mindfully balance the space and energy. 

Letting Us Know 
Communication is part of the practice. If you’re shifting classes, please let us know so we can hold space accordingly. 

Integrity-Based Concession 
The reduced rate is offered to those genuinely walking through financial challenge. We trust in the honesty of your self-enquiry.
 

Seasonal Rests 
We close for: 

  • Two weeks over Christmas and New Year

  • Two weeks during the Easter school break

  • The month of August 

These rest days are already woven into your monthly fees. As your payments are averaged across the year, there is no need to pause them during these cycles. 

Teacher Absence & Weather
If Jo and Ben are unable to teach and no suitable guide can be found, a refund will be given for that session. However, no refund will be provided if class is cancelled due to adverse weather. Nature is our ultimate teacher, and sometimes She asks us to pause. 

Other Agreements 

  • Missed classes are not carried over unless agreed in advance. 

  • No extra complimentary classes can be requested. 

  • A month’s notice is required when stepping away from a class. 

  • Late payments disturb the flow and will carry a £10 energy realignment fee.

Daytime Classes

The same agreements apply as above, but with a couple of differences:

Daytime classes follow the school calendar. School breaks and holidays are already included in the calculation of your monthly contribution, so there’s no need to pause payments during school holidays. 
 
There are no concessions available for daytime classes.

Workshops & Retreats: Sacred Gatherings 

Energy Upfront 
All workshops and retreats require full payment in advance. 

Withdrawing 
If you’re unable to attend, we will offer a refund only if we can fill your place. Otherwise, the energy exchange is considered offered and held.

Additional Notes – Tending to the Edges 

Respecting the Space 
Please arrive in good time, with presence and reverence for the shared space. Turn off your phone and allow yourself to fully land. 

Health & Wellbeing 
You are responsible for listening to your body. Please inform us of any injuries, health conditions, or changes in your wellbeing. Your safety and wellbeing matter deeply. 

Inclusive Community 
We honour all bodies, all ages, and all walks of life. Disrespectful behaviour will not be tolerated, this is a sanctuary. 

Weather & Uncertainty 
Very occasionally, wild weather or unexpected closures may occur. We will always communicate with transparency, and we ask for your grace and patience when these rare instances arise.

Thank You 🙏🏽

These shared agreements are a way of honouring not just the exchange of money, but the deeper energetic contract between teacher, student, and the practice itself. 

With trust, respect, and an open heart,
Jo & Ben
