T&Cs (General)

  • Drop-in classes, class packs and unlimited passes purchased at the studio or online are non-refundable.
    The 30 days unlimited Intro Offer is non-refundable and non-extendable. It is 30 consecutive days and once started it cannot be interrupted. This is also the same for the 2-4-1 which expired within 7 days of the first visit to the studio under this pass.

  • All class packs, monthly passes and the Intro Offers activate on the date of first booking. Once the first class is booked you cannot book another class on a previous date. You can only book classes on dates that fall after your activation date.

  • We strongly recommend that you book your class in advance as we have a limited number of spaces. If the class is fully booked you can join the waitlist. Please note, you will need to have a valid payment option to join.

    If you are on the waitlist and a space opens up (due to a cancellation) and you are next in line, you will receive an auto-email notifying you that you have been added to the class register. This service is fully automated and can reach you at any time.

    If you receive the notification email at short notice (less than 1 hour) and cannot attend the class please email us  at ashtangacheshire@yahoo.com to let us know.

  • 5 class packs are valid for 30 Days. 10 class packs are valid for 60 days. Class packs cannot be extended beyond the stated period. Intro Offer and monthly memberships cannot be extended.

  • If you booked a class but can no longer attend, you must cancel the class. The easiest way to cancel is via the MindBody app. You can also cancel via email (hello@ashtangacheshirestudios.co.uk) but please be aware of our policy below.

    Class cancellation policy is 1 hour. If you do not cancel prior to this time, one credit from your class pack, or your drop-in credit will be taken. There is no additional charge.

    ‘Early cancel’ (up to 1 hour before class) will put the class credit back on your account and you will be able to use it again in the future. If you ‘late cancel’ (i.e. after the 1 hour cancellation period) no credit will be returned to your account.

    Credit on account or refund will be provided if the class is cancelled by the studio.

  • There is a minimum term of 3 months commitment to our Unlimited studio & off-peak membership contracts (excluding PAYG excluding annual Membership). You can ‘pause’ your Direct Debit or annual membership for one month at a time should you need to, but you must notify the studio before the date your next payment is due. The membership can only be ‘paused’ for complete months at a time, not for days or weeks. You can terminate anytime after the first 3 months.

  • All workshops and courses purchased at the studio or online are non-refundable.

    Credit on account at Ashtanga Cheshire Studios can be given if workshop/course is sold out and there is a wait list.

    Credit on account or refund will be provided if the workshop is cancelled by the studio.

    If you would like to give your space to another client you must email us with their name to update the records and to ensure they have signed the waiver.
