Dear fellow yogi

Thank you for joining me on this journey. 

According to law, Yogabranches have to provide Terms and Conditions for this website to set the rules for our work together. These Terms and Conditions are protecting both you and Yogabranches from possible misunderstandings or even illegal use of information provided. 

You are agreeing to a Subscription which is a reoccurring debit either monthly or annually depending on your product choice. It is the responsibility of the user to request cancellation of the membership should you choose not to utilise the service in the future. A refund fee will incur should your request a refund after payment has been debited.

Be kind to yourself and practice safely

One of the most important skills yoga can teach us is greater body awareness. No yoga teacher knows your body as well as you do, so if anything doesn't feel right, you are free to take breaks and/or skip poses or sequences that are not suitable for you. 

Please use these online classes in addition to attending classes or workshops with an experienced yoga teacher who can observe you and give you personal guidance where required. 

All information on this website is provided for educational and background purposes only. It is not intended to provide or take the place of medical advice or health advice with respect to your direct circumstances. Please consider your insurance options: medical, income protection and other types of cover. Using the website and the information provided is at your own risk.

If you would like to use this website as a weight loss program or health regime, please consult a medical practitioner before beginning a weight loss plan.  Information here is not directed for treating, diagnosing or preventing any disease.

Yogabranches do not offer medical advice. I am simply not a medical practitioner! If you have any doubts please consult your medical practitioner before starting yoga or if you are coming back to it after illness or injury. This is particularly important for, but not limited to, the following conditions: if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, have low or high blood pressure, or have any existing medical condition or injuries. If you feel dizzy, light-headed, faint, or if you experience any other discomfort, stop immediately and take a resting pose. If you feel any discomfort or pain during asana, stop immediately. Consult a medical professional if your symptoms do not pass. 

Most classes on this website will include warming up and cooling down sections, however, shorter classes such as pose tutorials may not. Please take responsibility for your own body and include extra warm-up and cool-down stretches where appropriate to avoid injuries.

It's best to practice on an empty stomach so leave around two hours after a heavy meal before practice. Keep yourself hydrated before and after your yoga practice. Don't use alcohol or drugs before yoga or meditation.

Be kind to Yogabranches

I would encourage you to read the Terms and Conditions. I would also like you to know that this website is my passion and my business. I am a full-time yogi. That means I practice what I preach and do my best to be honest, ethical and peaceful in my approaches to this business and life. To ensure that I can serve as many people as I can, I have to ensure Yogabranches is a sustainable business and brings sufficient cash. All my profits are directed to professional development, studying yoga, developing services for you, improving your experience on the website through software and hardware development and support of my family. 

Yogabranches products and services are intended for people aged 18 and over.

The rest of the Terms and Conditions include legal protection for you and Yogabranches. 

Again, welcome and I look forward to our journey together.
