Our Nature Yoga Studio Policies & Disclaimer
Welcome to Our Nature Yoga. By participating in our online or in-person yoga classes, workshops, and programs, you agree to the following terms, conditions, and liability waiver.
Health & Safety Disclaimer
Yoga and related wellness practices may include physical movement, stretching, balance exercises, breathwork, meditation, and periods of relaxation. As with any physical activity, participation may involve certain risks.
Before beginning a new exercise or wellness program, participants are encouraged to consult with a qualified healthcare professional, particularly if they have an existing medical condition, injury, physical limitation, are pregnant, or have concerns about their ability to safely participate.
Not Medical Advice
Classes, programs, website content, videos, educational materials, and guidance provided by Our Nature Yoga and Ariel Steptoe are intended for general wellness, movement, and educational purposes only.
Our services are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or mental health condition and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Personal Responsibility & Assumption of Risk
Every body and every practice is different. Participants are responsible for listening to their bodies and choosing movements that feel appropriate for their individual abilities and limitations.
By voluntarily participating in Our Nature Yoga offerings, you acknowledge that physical activity carries inherent risks, including the possibility of injury. You accept responsibility for your participation and agree to stop or modify any movement that causes pain, dizziness, discomfort, or other concerning symptoms.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree not to hold Our Nature Yoga or Ariel Steptoe responsible for injuries, losses, or damages arising from the ordinary and inherent risks associated with voluntary participation in yoga and wellness activities.
Booking & Class Attendance
Advance booking is recommended for all classes, private sessions, workshops, and special events. Your reservation is not considered confirmed until the booking process and any required payment have been completed.
Please arrive early enough to settle into the space and prepare for your practice.
For virtual sessions, participants are responsible for having a safe and appropriate space to practice, along with a reliable internet connection and any recommended equipment.
Cancellation Policy
We understand that plans can change.
If you need to cancel or reschedule a class or private session, please provide at least 24 hours' notice before the scheduled start time.
Cancellations made at least 24 hours in advance may be eligible to have the class credit returned or the session rescheduled, depending on the type of booking.
Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice and no-shows may result in the loss of the session or class credit.
Refund Policy
Unless otherwise stated for a specific offering, class packages, memberships, digital programs, workshops, special events, and completed services are generally non-refundable after purchase.
If Our Nature Yoga cancels a class, workshop, or event, participants may be offered a rescheduled date, account credit, or refund, depending on the circumstances.
Certain events, retreats, programs, or special offerings may have their own cancellation and refund terms. When separate terms are provided at the time of booking, those terms will apply.
Late Arrival Policy
To maintain a peaceful environment and respect the time of the instructor and other participants, please arrive on time.
Once a class has officially begun, late entry may not be permitted. Participants who are unable to enter because of a late arrival may forfeit their class credit or payment.
For private sessions, late arrival may reduce the amount of time available for the session.
Class Packages & Expiration
Class packages and passes must be used within the expiration period stated at the time of purchase.
Unused classes generally cannot be transferred, extended, exchanged for cash, or refunded after expiration unless otherwise approved by Our Nature Yoga.
Participants are responsible for reviewing the terms associated with their selected package before completing their purchase.
Online & Digital Programs
Pre-recorded classes, downloadable materials, journals, calendars, videos, and other digital resources are provided for the purchaser's personal use unless otherwise stated.
​
Access should not be shared, copied, reproduced, distributed, resold, or published without written permission from Our Nature Yoga.
​
Participants practicing remotely are responsible for ensuring that their surroundings are safe and suitable for physical activity.
Privacy & Personal Information
Your privacy is important to us.
​
Personal information submitted through our website, booking system, contact forms, or participant intake forms will be used for legitimate business purposes such as managing bookings, communicating with participants, processing services, and supporting a safe practice environment.
​
Health-related information voluntarily provided through intake forms will be treated with care and used only as reasonably necessary to support your participation.

When photography or recording is planned, participants should be informed when reasonably practical. If you do not wish to appear in promotional photographs or videos, please notify the instructor or event organizer.
Respectful Community Policy
Our Nature Yoga is committed to maintaining a welcoming and respectful environment.
​
Participants are expected to respect the instructor, other participants, the practice space, and individual boundaries. Harassment, threatening behavior, discrimination, intentional disruption, or conduct that compromises the comfort or safety of others may result in removal from a class, event, program, or community space.

Our Nature Yoga reserves the right to update these policies as services, programs, and business needs evolve.
​
The most current version of these policies will be made available through the Our Nature Yoga website. Continued participation after an update constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policies.
