Participant agreement

Last updated June 2026

This page is provided in English. It applies to all yoga participants regardless of the language version of our website. You can read the full terms here at any time before or after booking.

How confirmation works

After we agree your lesson or retreat date with you (by website form, email or WhatsApp), we usually send you a link to our online confirmation form. That form collects your health information, your acceptance of this agreement, optional photo consent, and your electronic confirmation (typed name).

You may also open the confirmation form yourself if you already have a confirmed date:

Confirm booking form

Please complete the form after we have confirmed your date. If you are unsure whether your booking is confirmed, contact me first on WhatsApp before submitting.

Yoga - participant agreement

1. Assumption of risk - Yoga and physical exercise involve inherent risks (strain, injury, aggravation of existing conditions). I take part voluntarily and accept these risks.
2. Health & fitness - I have disclosed any relevant condition, injury, pregnancy or limitation (including back, shoulders, hips). I will stop if something does not feel right.
3. Instructions - I will follow the instructor's guidance and work within my limits.
4. Release - To the extent permitted by Portuguese law, I release Blankayogi and its instructors from liability for injury, loss or damage not caused by their gross negligence.

For participants under 18, a parent or guardian must complete the confirmation form on the child's behalf.

Yoga Five, workshops & retreats

Yoga Five sessions, workshops and retreats follow the same health and safety principles above. Retreat bookings may include additional terms shared at registration (daily schedule, meals, what to bring). Full retreat details are provided upon confirmation. If anything in your health profile changes before a retreat, please tell me as soon as possible.

Photo & video (optional)

Marketing photos and videos are optional and collected separately on the confirmation form. I only use identifiable images of you for promotion if you opt in. You can withdraw consent at any time by emailing info@blankayogi.com. Leaving photo consent unticked does not affect your lesson.

Booking, payment & cancellation

Because lessons and retreats depend on availability and group size, I confirm bookings personally rather than through instant online scheduling.

Payment

Cash after the class, or bank transfer the day before. Class packages are valid for 2 months. Retreat and workshop payment terms are shared when we confirm your spot.

See payment details after we agree the amount by WhatsApp or email.

Cancellation

If you need to cancel, please contact me as soon as possible so I can offer the spot to someone else. For retreats, specific cancellation windows are shared in your confirmation email.

General

• Please arrive 10-15 minutes early. Sessions start on time.
• I do not sell accommodation, travel or insurance.
• If you ask, I can suggest trusted local places to stay. I am not an official partner of any accommodation provider and do not share your data with them unless you ask me to make an introduction.

These terms are a template, not legal advice. "Release" clauses have limits under EU/Portuguese law.
