Terms and Conditions | Nourishing Mummas Chichester, West Sussex

Terms and Conditions

By participating in any of our classes you are agreeing that you understand the following:

Starting our classes is no different to starting any other form of exercise – the same guidelines apply:

If you are pregnant and not used to regular exercise, then it is recommended that you move carefully and wait until after 15/16 weeks before starting class. If you have a regular practice, good sense of body awareness and/or feel safe and confident starting classes earlier than 15/16 weeks, please inform your teacher of this when booking.
If you are postnatal please wait until 6 weeks after a straightforward vaginal birth or 10 weeks after an assisted birth and/or requiring stitches or caesarean section birth, before you begin exercising or taking our classes again. Please ask your doctor in your postnatal check up, to see if you have diastasis recti (separated tummy muscles), SPD, hernia or any kind of prolapse and inform your teacher before booking you class.
If you are coming to the Mother’s Yoga, Mother's Gatherings, Parent and Baby / Toddler Yoga or Pregnancy Yoga please make sure you tell your teacher of any conditions, injuries, operations or medications that you take that may effect your practice. In all cases, if in doubt, please consult your doctor, midwife or healthcare professional.
I understand that by participating in this class I am totally responsible for myself and if in the unlikely event of any injury of any kind, or miscarriage, the teacher of this class is not in any way responsible.

Booking and Cancellation Policy

Booking Classes:

For our classes and courses, reserve your space easily via the online booking system. If you are new to the website you will be asked to create an account. It’s quick and secure and ensures your space in our popular classes.
Students are encouraged to arrive for class at least 5 minutes prior to the class start time.
Class blocks must be used before the expiry date.
Be sure to tick to receive 'emails & notifications' when you sign up, so our booking system can send you reminders on expiry dates and class changes.
Pregnancy Yoga Classes in a package may be rolled over to the Postnatal Courses.

Cancellation of Classes:

In general 6 hours minimum notice is required for cancellation of any classes you have booked on to – so that someone else on the Waiting List can take the space. (This is not applicable you course bookings. Any classes missed within a course are lost.)
Any missed sessions without the appropriate notice will be charged as if attended. Please log into your account to cancel – Nourishing Birth & Beyond can not accept cancellations in person, via email, telephone or text.
However, if you are cancelling within the 6 hour window please do let your teacher know too, in addition to cancelling your space via our website. If you do not attend the session you booked online, your ability to book online can be suspended.
Teachers occasionally change at short notice; no refunds or exchanges will be given if there is a cover teacher, and the 6 hour cancellation rule still applies.
5 class blocks have a 7 week expiry.
Mum and Baby Yoga runs as short, term-time only courses - any missed classes can not be rolled over to the next term.
Check the Timetable for latest details or your teacher directly and be sure to use all your classes up before they expire.

All courses - such as our Antenatal Preparing for Birth and Baby course for couples need to be booked and paid for in full, in advance to secure your space.
