What we study…
Yoga is not just a physical practice of poses. Yoga is a set of practices and tools that has evolved from Northern India over thousands of years as a system to help us wake up in our lives and help manage our minds. Yoga is a lifestyle and an anchor to which we can navigate in relationship with everything around us. This 200 hour immersion is designed to deliver tools to commit to the lifestyle of a yogi as well as the yoga practice itself. The tools for the practice focus on functional body mechanics and alignment of poses toward building a safe, sustainable and progressing yoga practice. Gain the technical skills to be able to effectively step into the role of a yoga teacher. Each class involves workshop style, hands on curriculum building the skills necessary to teach yoga. This program aims to prepare students to teach Vinyasa Flow classes and Hatha Alignment classes (class styles found at The Bellingham Yoga Collective). Both styles are strong, heart centered and intelligent.

CANCELLATION POLICY:
Please be sure you will be able to attend before you submit your deposit. All deposits are non-refundable. Payment is due in full 60 days prior to the start of the retreat. If you cancel 60 days or more prior to the retreat start date, you will be issued a refund, less your $600 non-refundable deposit. Trip insurance is highly recommended, and can protect your retreat investment if you need to cancel for covered circumstances. Due to retreat centers’ refund policies, we cannot offer any refunds, transfers or credits for cancellations for any reason within 60 days of the retreat start date. Thank you for your consideration with this policy as so much time and heart go into planning retreats and trainings for you!
TRIP INSURANCE // COVID-19 CONSIDERATIONS:
The Indonesian government in this moment in time requires all eligible people traveling into Bali to be fully vaccinated. There is an app you will have to download. You will likely have to take a PCR test in the USA before you fly. Trip insurance is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (insurance ranges anywhere from $40-150) and is very important in protecting your flight and trip investments during this time. If the retreat has to be cancelled due to the inability to get into Bali for COVID reasons, we will issue everyone the maximum refund possible less the amount we are liable to the retreat center for your personal booking upon date of cancellation, this could range from receiving a 50-100% refund depending on the date and how soon the retreat was scheduled to begin. Likely the retreat center in the event of covid issues will just find a new travel date for us and postpone, then we would just transfer your booking to new dates. If BYC change dates and you can no longer go, BYC will issue you a full refund. Trip insurance ensures you will recoup all personal monetary loss.
