Transportation to and from the yoga retreat are not included, unless we explicitly specify it.

5. Travel Insurance

It is your responsibility to have travel insurance that covers any activity proposed in the yoga retreat that you book as well as potential losses, cancellations, illness or damage and risks. Lucia Yoga informs you that you should bring the insurance policy in case of any emergency.

We recommend that each trip member purchase individual travel insurance for their trip. It can be a minimal expense for the benefits it provides. We highly suggest that you include the “cancel for any reason” option and a policy that includes medical coverage. The best way to protect yourself from any unforeseen circumstance is to purchase trip insurance.

Travel insurance can protect you in case:

  • you cancel your participation in the yoga retreat.
  • retreat is cancelled due to weather, natural disaster, war, political upheaval, health crises, pandemics, or any other circumstance outside of our control, or if there are not enough participants to run the retreat.
  • lost or delayed baggage
  • medical expenses should you become ill or injured

There are a variety of travel insurances, some of which include the option for a comprehensive “cancel for any reason” policy. If you have to cancel your participation in the retreat, your airfare, hotel, retreat costs, etc. can be covered in partial or full. **Please note that many policies require that you secure coverage within 7-15 days after making your initial trip payment (i.e. your deposit with Lucia Yoga) in order to add the "cancel for any reason" policy.** It is your responsibility to choose a travel insurance carrier and educate yourself on their specific terms. Please do research to find what meets your needs best.

5.1 Your Health

(A) It will be only your responsibility to consult a doctor with knowledge of yoga to verify that you are in good health for yoga and other physical activities that Lucia Yoga books under your request. (E.g. mountain hiking, horse riding, etc.).

(B) We request that you inform us if you have any health problems before booking your place in our yoga retreat. If you do not inform us about your health problems, Lucia Yoga holds the right to cancel your reservation and will not refund any compensation. If you have health problems that may be affected by the activities of yoga retreat, Lucia Yoga reserves the right to advise you not to participate in them, and you could be denied participation if we believe there may be a risk for your physical or psychological health.

(C) If you feel any discomfort, pain or injury during any of the activities of the yoga retreat, the activity must stop as soon as possible and you must contact a member of Lucia Yoga. If you continue with the activities and there are chances of further worsening of the injury, Lucia Yoga reserves the right to deny your stay and participation in the yoga retreat, without returning the money.

(D) Although Lucia Yoga takes all necessary measures to ensure high standards of health and safety, some of our retreats may be located in rural areas where it is common to have unevenness in the ground, so we are not responsible for injuries suffered as a result.

(E) It shall be the responsibility of women who are between 12 and 28 weeks of gestation, send a letter written by her doctor that says she is fit to travel and is capable of performing the activities we offer.
