Booking and Conditions:
-
To secure your slot, payments must be made in advance as you book your slot and on the 1st of each month for monthly slots.
-
Slots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
-
I require a CHF 300.- deposit, which you will receive partially or fully back if you don’t quit your teaching slot within the first 6 months of teaching and of course, nothing happens with the studio during your time of booking. If you cancel your slot after that but before 12 months have passed, I will keep CHF 150.-. There is a two month's notice to cancel a slot or membership
-
Our Karma Yoginis support me with keeping the studio clean and organized in exchange for a yoga class. They may participate max. 1 a month in your class and only via pre-booking if you have available spots.
-
As a member without weekly class, there is a commitment to book the studio at least 8 times per year and the notice period to end the contract is two months as of the end of the month. The idea is that you teach regularly at the studio and not just for one event, even if it's a series of bookings for a teacher training, 1:1 sessions or workshops. I'm also happy to find an individual solution with you.
-
The deposit won't be returned if you book the studio less than 8 times within a year from the time your contract started.
-
The studio has to be left tidy and clean as the studio guidelines state and if you break something, it's up to you to either purchase it or pay for the costs and time of it. I strongly recommend a Berufshaftpflichtversicherung and Privathaftspflichtversicherung.
Cancellation fees for the specials:
Cancellation fees for events lasting 4h and LESS:
-
Cancellation 4 weeks before the reservation date: 50% of the total rent.

If You Need to Make Changes to Your Booking:
-
If you need to make changes to your booking, please get in touch with me via theradiantheartstudio@gmail.com as soon as possible.
​
Class Cancellation:
-
If you need to cancel a class, please inform me and the students promptly. Additionally, please make an effort to find a substitute teacher to minimize disruptions. If you're on holiday, make sure you communicate it early enough, so it can be removed from the schedule. To build a class I strongly recommend showing up even for one person in class.
​
Please Note:
The studio must be returned in a tidy and clean condition. A task list will be provided, which is also displayed at the studio. If you require assistance for your event, please utilize the Karma Yogis Support Whatsapp Group in advance so that you can arrange for a participant or karma yogini to help you in exchange for their involvement. If you are unable to clean the studio yourself, please inform me, and the deposit will be retained. In the event of any damages, you will be responsible for replacement costs based on the value and nature of the item.
