Rules of Sarva Iyengar Yoga Institute

Class Fees

We would like all our students to enjoy their yoga and to have fair and equal treatment. To ensure that you are able to attend the classes you wish, we have developed the following rules:

  1. All students attending weekly or regular monthly classes must be members of Sarva IYI.
  2. This membership is paid annually and entitles students to:
  3. All students’ memberships are due for renewal in September. Those joining part way through the year will pay a pro-rata sum for the remaining months to September.
  4. Students may attend two classes to ‘try out’ the sessions (at the drop in rate) before membership is due.
  5. Visitors are welcome to use Sarva IYI. They will be charged a ‘drop-in’ fee. This will be higher than the price paid by members.
  6. Course fees must be paid termly unless otherwise specified in Sarva IYI leaflets. Our classes are popular and space is limited, so this is the only way to secure your place.
  7. If you miss your regular class during your course, you may make up the missed class by attending any other class on the regular timetable (provided it is within the same course term). Please do let us know when you intend to make up a class so that we can check numbers and make a note on the appropriate register.
  8. Course fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
  9. During the last 2 weeks of a course, current students have the opportunity to secure their space for the next course before it is open to other students.
  10. In the unlikely event of the advertised teacher being unable to take a class, Sarva IYI reserves the right to substitute other suitably qualified teachers as and when necessary.
  11. For weekend events, refunds can only be made if the course or yoga event is cancelled by Sarva IYI or your place can be re-let to another student. An administrative fee may be payable.

We are keen to maintain high standards here at Sarva IYI and want all students to enjoy using our facilities. Please help us to keep the place clean, tidy and in good condition by observing the following rules:

  1. The yoga studios, equipment stores and the Buddha lobby upstairs are shoe free zones. Please leave your shoes in the shoe racks provided or in your locker.
  2. No food or drink may be taken into the yoga studios.
  3. Please leave all your personal items in one of the lockers provided and hang the key on the key rack in the relevant studio. (Keys have been known to be swept up with the equipment and we have had to empty out the store room in order to find them again!)
  4. All yoga equipment is provided. Students are welcome to bring their own mats if they prefer.
  5. Please take care to put away all equipment carefully in the correct place.
  6. Please dress appropriately for yoga. Wear clothing that is clean and does not restrict your movements in any way. It must also be sufficiently modest.
