THE ZEN DEN
200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
Terms & Conditions
Effective Date: July 2026
1. Enrolment Agreement
By enrolling in The Zen Den 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training ("the Course"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms and Conditions.
Your enrolment represents a commitment to complete the course requirements and reserves one of a limited number of training places. Once your enrolment has been accepted, your place cannot ordinarily be offered to another student.
2. Course Requirements
To successfully complete the course and receive certification, students must:
Attend all scheduled training weekends unless otherwise approved.
Complete and submit all required coursework.
Participate respectfully in practical and theoretical sessions.
Complete all required assessments to the required standard.
Maintain appropriate professional conduct throughout the course.
The Zen Den reserves the right to withhold certification where course requirements have not been satisfactorily completed.
3. Attendance & Catch-Up Policy
Attendance is an essential requirement of this practical training program.
Students who are unable to attend a scheduled training day should notify The Zen Den as soon as reasonably possible.
One (1) complimentary catch-up training day is included during the course at no additional cost for genuine absences, subject to availability and at the discretion of The Zen Den.
Any additional catch-up sessions required beyond the complimentary catch-up day will incur additional fees. Pricing will be determined according to the individual circumstances, the amount of content requiring replacement, and the resources necessary to provide the additional training.
Catch-up sessions are not guaranteed and may only be available during future teacher training intakes.
4. Course Fees
The current fee for The Zen Den 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training is $3,838 AUD.
Students may pay:
In full prior to commencement; or
By an approved Ezidebit payment arrangement.
Payment plans must be established before commencing the course.
Failure to maintain scheduled payments may result in suspension from training until payments are brought up to date.
5. STRICT NO REFUND POLICY
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
By enrolling in this course you acknowledge and agree that all course fees are NON-REFUNDABLE.
No refunds will be provided for:
Change of mind
Personal circumstances
Financial hardship
Work commitments
Family commitments
Pregnancy
Relocation
Scheduling conflicts
Loss of motivation
Failure to attend classes
Failure to complete coursework
Withdrawal from the course
Choosing not to continue
Dissatisfaction arising from personal expectations rather than course delivery
This applies whether course fees have been paid in full or through a payment plan.
Students withdrawing after enrolment remain responsible for payment of all outstanding course fees.
The reason for this policy is that enrolment reserves one of a strictly limited number of places, prevents another student from enrolling, and significant costs are incurred prior to and throughout delivery of the course.
6. Exceptional Circumstances
The Zen Den recognises that genuinely exceptional circumstances can occasionally arise.
Requests relating to serious illness, significant injury, death of an immediate family member or other extraordinary events may be considered individually.
Any request must:
be submitted in writing;
include supporting documentation where appropriate; and
will be considered entirely at the discretion of The Zen Den Principal.
Where appropriate, The Zen Den may choose to offer:
a deferral;
course credit; or
another reasonable solution.
Nothing within this policy limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
7. Deferrals
Students may request a deferral due to exceptional circumstances.
Approval of any deferral is entirely at the discretion of The Zen Den.
Approved deferrals will normally transfer to the next available intake.
Only one deferral will ordinarily be granted.
Additional deferrals may incur administration fees.
8. Course Changes
The Zen Den reserves the right to make reasonable changes to:
course schedules;
training dates;
presenters;
guest teachers;
course content;
training venue; and
delivery methods.
Where circumstances beyond our reasonable control require changes, every reasonable effort will be made to deliver equivalent training.
Training may be delivered online where necessary due to government directions, natural disasters or other unforeseen events.
9. Cancellation by The Zen Den
If The Zen Den is unable to deliver the course prior to commencement, students will be offered either:
a transfer to another intake; or
a refund of fees paid.
If the course has already commenced, every reasonable effort will be made to complete delivery through an alternative format.
10. Student Responsibilities

attend punctually;

Students removed for misconduct are not entitled to any refund.
12. Health & Safety

Students confirm they are medically able to participate.
Students agree to advise teachers of any injuries, pregnancies, medical conditions or physical limitations that may affect safe participation.
The Zen Den is not responsible for injuries arising from failure to disclose relevant health information.
Students participate entirely at their own risk.
13. Intellectual Property
All manuals, training materials, presentations, recordings, worksheets and resources remain the intellectual property of The Zen Den.
Students must not reproduce, copy, distribute, record or commercially use any materials without written permission.
