Cancellation by you

Due to our commitment to the accommodation and workshop providers, we cannot make any exceptions to our cancellation fees. We strongly recommend obtaining travel insurance at the time of booking to cover you in case you need to cancel or miss part of the retreat for any reason, including Covid-19.

Cancellations must be made in writing to [email protected]. Your cancellation will take effect as of the day you provide this written notification. All payments made prior to cancellation are non-refundable, however you will not be held liable for any upcoming payments still scheduled.

Alternatively, you may transfer your place and payments to another person. If you have not paid for the retreat in full at the time of transfer, any outstanding payments owed must be paid by the transferee.

Transfer requests must be made in writing, and are subject to a $50 administrative fee.

Cancellation or postponement by Stone’s Throw Yoga​

We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule the retreat should there be extenuating circumstances beyond our control, including if our minimum number of attendees have not been met.

If the retreat is rescheduled or cancelled for any reason, you will have three options available to you:

  • Transfer your booking to the rescheduled date
  • Receive a credit for the amount you have paid towards any services or retail items at Stone’s Throw Yoga
  • A full refund of the amount paid.

Note that we can refund fees paid for our retreat services only. We are not responsible for any cancellation fees to airlines or any other agreements made by guests with outside operators.

Travel insurance

We strongly recommend arranging travel insurance that covers medical bills incurred while overseas, and cancellation of your booking by you for any reason, including becoming sick with Covid or any other illness.

Twin share bookings

For twin-share bookings, if one attendee cancels, we reserve the right to place another individual, who you may not know, in their place. Alternatively, you can choose to upgrade to a private room at your own cost.

Retreat and accommodation expectations

By booking the retreat, you understand that there are large amounts of free time scheduled, which is rest and recharge time for you and also the retreat organisers. It is up to you to decide how to manage this time for yourself or with the help of the Namkhan team.

If you book a twin-share accommodation option without pre-arranging a known person to share with, you understand that you will be paired with another attendee who you may not know. You acknowledge and agree to be kind, caring and accommodating to anyone who you share with. You also acknowledge that you may have to make some concessions and compromises to ensure that both you and your room partner have an enjoyable retreat experience.

If you experience any symptoms that may be indicative of COVID-19 or similar, we may require you to complete RAT or PCR testing. If you test positive, we will ask you to isolate and not take part in group activities (practices, meals, outings etc) until you test negative or symptoms subside.
