3. Refunds and Withdrawals

Because the program size is limited to 20 students per cohort and resources are committed in advance, the following refund policy applies:

All withdrawal requests must be made in writing to the Program Director at info@yogakawa.com.

4. Late Enrollment

• Full tuition payment is required at registration unless a written payment plan is approved by the Program Director.

• Students may transfer their enrollment to another Yoga Kawa YTT cohort within 12 months of their original start date.
