The Byron Yoga Centre accepts all students for teacher training who:

• have shown a recent, regular commitment and devotion to the practice of yoga for at least two
  years (for Level 1 less than 2 years of serious and constant practice would be considered);
  • have completed Level 1 training (or equivalent) if applying for Level 2 training;
  • are ready to deepen their own practice on a physical, mental and spiritual level by gaining new
  insight and appreciation of the yogic path;
  • have adequate literacy and numeracy skills;

Refund Policy
A $600 deposit is payable upon application and fully refunded immediately if the applicant is not accepted into the course.

If the balance of the course fee is not received by the notified Due Date (usually one month prior to commencement), a student’s place may be offered to someone on the waiting list.

The student may forfeit the deposit if the place is not taken up by another applicant.
If a student withdraws from the course after payment of full fees, the following refund policy applies:*
a) If the student withdraws 28 days or more prior to course commencement the student will
receive a full refund of all monies paid, minus an administration fee of $100.
b) If the student withdraws 15-27 days prior to the course commencement the student will
receive 75% of the full course fee.
c) If the student withdraws 5-14 days prior to course commencement the student will receive
50% of the full course fee.
d) If the student withdraws 1-4 days prior to course commencement or withdraws after the
course starts the student will receive no refund.

* b) c) and d) will apply ONLY in the event that the place is not taken up by another student on the waiting list. A $100 administration fee would still be payable even if the place is taken by another student.

In the case of compassionate circumstances for withdrawal, a student may defer to the next available course upon application, and fees will be transferred to that course accordingly.
