Terms & Conditions

Soul of Yoga Institute | Updated November 11, 2026

Terms & Conditions · Privacy Policy · Refunds & Course Policies

These terms apply to courses, teacher training, continuing education, and related live and recorded learning offered by Waking Soul, Inc., d/b/a Soul of Yoga and Soul of Yoga Institute (“we” or “us”) through Thinkific. Accepting these terms includes the media release below; no separate media-release form is required.

1. Your account

Provide accurate information, protect your password, and use your account only for yourself. Do not share logins or paid course access. You must be an adult able to enter into these terms. If we permit a minor to participate, their parent or legal guardian must accept these terms on their behalf.

2. Purchases and refunds

You agree to the purchase details shown before checkout. Our Refunds & Course Policies form part of these terms. For teacher training certification programs, we will present a program-specific enrollment agreement after purchase. Until you accept that agreement, you may cancel and receive a full refund of all amounts paid for the program. Once you accept, that agreement’s specific terms apply and control where they differ from these general terms, including for refunds, withdrawal, and payment obligations.

For courses not governed by a specific enrollment agreement, these Thinkific Terms & Conditions and our Refunds & Course Policies apply. You may cancel for a full refund before starting the course. Once you start, no refunds or student cancellations are permitted, and the full course price remains due, including all remaining payment-plan installments. Stopping participation or choosing not to complete the course does not cancel your payment obligations. A payment plan divides the course price into installments; it is not a subscription. Cancellations by Soul of Yoga are addressed in our Refunds & Course Policies. Applicable law controls where required. Existing accepted enrollment agreements continue to apply.

3. Course access and completion

Access lasts for the period stated for your course; it is not lifetime unless expressly offered. Certificates and continuing-education credit depend on completing the stated requirements. We may change instructors, materials, schedules, or platform features. Rescheduling and cancellation refunds follow our Refunds & Course Policies.

4. Course materials

Our videos, recordings, handouts, and other materials are for your personal learning. Do not copy, record, share, publish, or resell them without our written permission. Downloads are permitted only where provided. Do not use recording bots or external AI tools to capture sessions or course materials.

5. Participation and confidentiality

Treat students, teachers, and staff respectfully. We may suspend or end access for nonpayment, account sharing, harassment, disruption, unlawful activity, or misuse of course content.

Do not disclose private, sensitive, or confidential information in classes, recordings, chats, assignments, or course discussions. This includes personal health histories, client or patient information, financial details, passwords, and information about other people. Use hypothetical or fully de-identified examples. Group learning spaces are not confidential.

Keep private material and other people out of your camera view and screen shares. Contact us privately about necessary accommodations without including sensitive details in your initial message.

6. Health and professional practice

Our courses are educational and do not provide medical care or guarantee professional licensure, employment, or results. Yoga, movement, breathwork, and related practices involve risks. Participate within your abilities, seek appropriate professional guidance, and stop if you feel unwell. Practice and teach within your qualifications.

7. Responsibility

We do not guarantee uninterrupted access or specific learning or health outcomes. To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability is limited to the greater of $100 or the amount you paid for the affected course during the preceding 12 months.

8. Updates and contact

California law governs these terms. We may update them and will provide notice or request renewed acceptance when required. Contact [email protected] or 760-943-7685. Our mailing address is 627 Encinitas Blvd, Encinitas, CA 92024.

9. Media release

By accepting these terms, I agree to the following:

9.1 I understand that classes may be captured on video and that I may be captured in photographs, audio, or video, to be used for educational and promotional purposes in an unrestricted geographic area. I consent to this recording and use, including my image, voice, and participation.

9.2 Photographic, audio, and video recordings may be used worldwide for the following purposes: conference presentations; educational and informational presentations; educational courses and videos, whether in person, live online, or recorded; social media, including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube; and marketing and promotional materials, including but not limited to brochures and websites.

This includes editing, reproducing, publishing, and reusing recordings in courses for current and future students, including paid courses. This permission continues after my enrollment ends, without further approval or compensation.

9.3 I hereby release any and all claims against Waking Soul, Inc., d/b/a Soul of Yoga, and against any person or organization utilizing this material for educational or promotional purposes, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
