Terms of Use

Effective date: September 13, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Soul City Yoga online learning site, courses, training materials, communities, and related digital services (collectively, the "Services"). By creating an account, purchasing a product, enrolling in a program, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

Program-specific terms, including a Yoga Teacher Training enrollment agreement, payment agreement, health waiver, attendance policy, certification requirements, and refund policy, may also apply. If a program-specific agreement conflicts with these general Terms regarding that program, the program-specific agreement controls.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a contract to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent that you meet these requirements.

2. Accounts

You agree to provide accurate, current information and keep it updated. Your account is personal to you. You may not share login credentials, allow another person to access paid materials through your account, or impersonate another person. You are responsible for activity occurring under your account and must promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized use.

3. Purchases and Payment

Prices, payment schedules, deposits, taxes, and included services are shown at checkout or in the applicable enrollment agreement. You authorize the applicable payment processor to charge the payment method you provide according to the option you select.

Unless a written policy or program-specific agreement says otherwise, purchases are not transferable. Failed or past-due payments may result in suspension of access. You remain responsible for amounts due under any payment plan or signed enrollment agreement.

4. Refunds and Cancellations

Refunds, cancellations, deferrals, and transfers are governed by the policy displayed at purchase and any program-specific agreement you accept. Please review those terms before enrolling. Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot legally be waived.

5. Course Access and Changes

Access periods vary by product and will be stated on the sales page, at checkout, or in a program agreement. We may make reasonable changes to instructors, schedules, lesson order, delivery platforms, or course materials when necessary. If a material change substantially affects a paid program, we will communicate available options as required by the applicable agreement or law.

Live sessions may depend on minimum enrollment, instructor availability, weather, public-health conditions, technology, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Recordings or alternate learning opportunities may be offered when appropriate, but are not guaranteed unless stated in writing.

6. Educational and Certification Disclaimer

Course completion does not guarantee employment, income, clients, professional success, or acceptance by any employer, studio, insurer, credentialing body, or regulatory organization.

Any certificate is issued only after the participant satisfies the stated academic, attendance, assessment, conduct, payment, and practicum requirements. Where a program is described as eligible for registration or credentialing through an outside organization, that organization's current rules and approval decisions remain outside our control.

7. Health and Safety

Yoga, movement, breathwork, meditation, and fitness activities involve physical and emotional demands and may involve risk of injury. The Services are educational and are not medical, mental-health, physical-therapy, or other licensed healthcare advice.

You are responsible for deciding whether participation is appropriate for you, modifying or stopping when needed, and consulting a qualified healthcare professional when you have questions or relevant health conditions. In-person and live movement participation may also be subject to a separate health waiver and studio safety policies.

If you experience pain, dizziness, difficulty breathing, or other concerning symptoms, stop participating and seek appropriate assistance.

8. Intellectual Property

The Services and all associated materials—including videos, recordings, manuals, workbooks, slides, graphics, photographs, lesson plans, sequencing frameworks, downloads, trademarks, and written content—are owned by Soul City Yoga or used with permission and are protected by intellectual-property laws.

We grant you a limited, personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license to access purchased materials for your own education during the applicable access period. You may use skills and concepts learned in the program in your own teaching, but you may not copy, reproduce, distribute, sell, publish, upload, record, translate, create competing course materials from, or otherwise exploit our protected content without prior written permission.

9. Student Work and Community Participation

You retain ownership of original work you submit. You grant us a limited license to host, display, reproduce, and share that work with authorized instructors, evaluators, and participants as reasonably necessary to administer the program and provide feedback.

You agree to engage respectfully. Harassment, discrimination, threats, hate speech, unauthorized solicitation, infringement, disruption, or sharing another participant's personal information or work without permission is prohibited. We may remove content or suspend participation when reasonably necessary to protect the learning environment or enforce these Terms.

10. Live Sessions and Recordings

Some online sessions may be recorded for enrolled participants. When recording is planned, we will provide notice through the program materials, session platform, or facilitator. Your display name, voice, image, chat messages, or contributions may appear in a recording if you participate with those features enabled.

If you do not wish to appear, you may turn off your camera, mute your microphone, use an appropriate display name, and avoid posting identifying information in recorded chat, unless visible participation is an expressly disclosed program requirement. Separate consent will be obtained before recordings or identifiable student content are used for public marketing.

You may not record, screenshot, download, distribute, or share live sessions, participant discussions, or course content without written permission.

11. Third Party Services

The Services may rely on third-party platforms, including Thinkific, payment processors, video-conferencing providers, and linked resources. We do not control their availability, security, terms, or privacy practices. Your use of those services may be subject to additional terms.

12. Acceptable Use

You may not:

13. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate access for material violation of these Terms, nonpayment, unlawful conduct, threats to safety or security, or serious disruption of the learning environment. When practical and appropriate, we will provide notice and an opportunity to address the issue. Termination does not eliminate payment or other obligations that accrued before termination.

You may stop using the Services at any time, subject to any payment, cancellation, and withdrawal terms in your program-specific agreement.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not warrant that access will be uninterrupted or error-free, that every feature will always be available, or that the Services will meet every individual expectation. This section does not exclude warranties or rights that cannot be disclaimed under applicable law.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Soul City Yoga and its owners, employees, instructors, contractors, and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the Services. Our aggregate liability for a claim relating to a purchased product will not exceed the amount you paid to Soul City Yoga for that product during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

These limitations do not apply where prohibited by law and do not limit liability that cannot legally be limited, including liability for gross negligence, reckless conduct, or intentional misconduct.

16. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Soul City Yoga and its owners, employees, instructors, contractors, and agents from third-party claims, losses, or expenses arising from your unlawful use of the Services, infringement of another person's rights, or material violation of these Terms.

17. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Massachusetts, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The revised Terms will be posted with a new effective date. Material changes may also be communicated by email or through the site. Changes will apply prospectively unless otherwise permitted by law.

19. General Provisions

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms as part of a reorganization, financing, merger, or transfer of the business.
