Please read this disclaimer before you use this website or join a course. It explains the limits of the information we give, the health risks of yoga practice and what our certificates mean.
In short: yoga is beneficial for many people, but it is not medical care. Check with your doctor, tell us about your health, travel with insurance and confirm every detail in writing before you book.
The information on this website is provided by Avatar Yoga School, Rishikesh, in good faith, to help you learn about our courses, retreats and school. We try to keep it accurate and up to date, but we cannot promise that every detail is complete, current or free from error.
Course dates, fees, inclusions, schedules and facilities can change. The details confirmed to you in writing by our team, at the time you book, are the ones that apply to your booking.
Yoga, pranayama, meditation, Kundalini practice, Yin yoga and sound healing are physical and mental practices. They involve movement, breathing, long holds and sometimes intense experiences. Nothing on this website, in our classes or in our materials is medical advice, a diagnosis or a treatment.
You are responsible for telling the school about any health condition, injury or medication before you arrive, and for stopping a practice if something feels wrong. Our teachers can adapt a class, but they are yoga teachers, not doctors. By taking part you accept the ordinary risks of physical practice.
Every student is different. We do not guarantee any particular result from a course or retreat, such as improved health, flexibility, a calmer mind, a teaching job, an income or a place with any studio or organisation.
Stories, photos and reviews on this website describe the experience of individual students. They are not promises, and your own experience may differ.
Kundalini kriyas, strong breathing practices and sound healing can bring up strong feelings and physical sensations. They are practices for relaxation, awareness and well-being. They are not medical treatments, and we do not claim that they cure, treat or prevent any disease.
Sound healing students are taught to describe their work honestly, to ask guests about health conditions and to refer people to a doctor when something is outside their training. If you later offer sessions yourself, you are responsible for following the laws, insurance requirements and professional rules that apply where you work.
Avatar Yoga School is an independent yoga school. Yoga Alliance is a separate organisation that keeps a registry of yoga schools and teachers, and it is not responsible for our courses. References to Yoga Alliance, RYS, RYT and E-RYT describe its public programs and are used to explain how our courses relate to them.
Registration with Yoga Alliance is optional and is not a legal requirement to teach yoga. Whether you can register, and which designation you can apply for, depends on the program you complete, on Yoga Alliance rules at that time and on your own application. Please check the school's listing in the Yoga Alliance directory, and ask us for written confirmation of the program you plan to join.
Short courses, retreats and specialty courses, such as sound healing or a 50 hour Yin yoga training, may not lead to a Yoga Alliance teacher designation on their own. Our team can tell you which certificate you will receive.
You travel to India and to Rishikesh at your own risk. Visa rules, travel advisories, health requirements and local conditions change, and you are responsible for checking them with official sources, such as the Indian visa portal, your embassy and your own government's travel advice.
We strongly recommend travel and health insurance for your whole stay. Rishikesh is widely considered a welcoming town, but you should use ordinary travel sense, look after your belongings and follow local laws and customs.
Prices, offers and availability shown on this website are for guidance. We may change them without notice, and an offer may not apply to every batch. Your seat is confirmed only when we confirm it to you in writing, as described in our terms and conditions.
This website links to other websites and services, such as Google Maps, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Tripadvisor and review platforms. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement.
The photos, videos, text and design on this website belong to Avatar Yoga School or to the people who created them, and they may not be copied or used without our permission. Photos show real classes and students, and some may have been taken in earlier years.
Reviews and testimonials are the opinions of individual students on independent platforms or on this website. We do not claim that they represent the typical experience.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Avatar Yoga School, its owners, teachers and staff are not liable for any loss, injury, illness or damage that arises from your use of this website, from taking part in a course, retreat or activity, or from reliance on the information given here. Nothing in this disclaimer limits any liability that cannot be excluded by law.
