Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions are valid for programs that have been held in between 2015- 2023. These programs include various formats and several lengths.
There are specific requirements and eligibility standards for participants of the 75 hour yoga4cancer Certificate Program. All participants are required to accept the terms and conditions during the registration process, in addition to general Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Therefore, upon registration, participants agree to adhere to the following:
Yoga Experience Prerequisite
The yoga4cancer Teacher Training program is an advanced yoga teaching program designed to deepen existing yoga teaching experience that is often used by professionals to best serve cancer patients and survivors. The program is useful to both yoga professionals and other healthcare and wellness professionals. However, it is not designed, nor can replace, the value of a +200 hour yoga teacher certification.
- Prior yoga teaching experience of at least one year is strongly recommended.
Any inquiries regarding eligibility should be sent to info@yoga4cancer.com prior to payment and program registration.
Technical & Online Learning Requirements
This program is conducted fully online and therefore requires experience, understanding and interest in a training that is conducted via computers and the internet. Individuals who are reticent to computers, technology or learning online learning skills are not advised to register. Upon registration, a participant agrees to the following:
- I understand that I must have access to a computer to participate in the Program. This does not require ownership of a computer but I must have access to a computer through alternative means (such as via cafes, libraries, schools or work).
- I understand that all aspects of the training must be done while connected to the Internet and often requires significant bandwidth and access. If my WiFi is found to be sub optimal and causing problems, it is required that I find alternative WiFi access points (e.g. internet cafes, increase bandwidth, etc).
- I agree that my website browser and any associated computer software will be updated according to the providers. Google Chrome is recommended to access the program.
- I understand that the program is accessible via smart phones, tablets and other devices, but this is not always recommended as some elements or assignments are better completed via a computer (e.g. written assignments).
- I understand that to participate in this program, I must have experience and understanding of computers. Moreover, I must have a willingness to use technology which might include learning new skills.
- I confirm that I can record a short video (via phone, computer, tablet or camera).
- I confirm that I can or will learn to upload to Vimeo or another cloud-based platform. This is a requirement for program participation and submission of the required teaching practicum. Instructions are provided to support.
- I agree to review and use the Technical Assistance Guidance provided. I understand that many issues that are encountered are easily resolved after following guidelines and do not require additional support. I agree that I will review guidance and submit a support request based on provided tools.
- I agree that if specific technical support is required and the issue is identified to be unique to my personal computer, internet, software or experience, I will pay an additional fee ($50 per request) for additional administrative support.

Program Transfers
Our goal is to help individuals achieve certification and go out to safely and effectively support cancer survivors. We recognize and know that often both personal and professional challenges can impact well-intended training plans. So we do provide a Program Transfer option.
However, transfer students require both administration and technical support. Therefore, there is a transfer fee associated with any transfer. That fee is $250 for any transfer completed in 2022 or beyond. Below details program transfer requirements:
- Program transfer requests must be submitted to the yoga4cancer Team with the following information: 1) reasons for transferring; 2) request of new program and agreement to deadlines of the new session; 3) confirmation and understanding of the Transfer Fee.
- This Program Transfer request must be submitted to the yoga4cancer team PRIOR to the completion of the Program.
- Approval of the transfer is up to the sole discretion of the yoga4cancer Team. Some restrictions between programs exist.
- If the Program Transfer is approved, the participant is required to pay the transfer fee and any difference in tuition for the new program prior to start of the new program.
- Transferring between programs can have an impact on access to the program content.
- If the transfer request is for a program that has yet to open registration, participants are responsible for contacting yoga4cancer prior to the start of the requested program.
- A transfer is only allowed once.
Program Changes or Cancellations by yoga4cancer:
In cases of extreme circumstances, yoga4cancer might be forced to reschedule, change or cancel a program. Cancellation will only occur if all other options have been exhausted.
For program changes or rescheduling, yoga4cancer will provide clear explanation of the reason for the change and provide at least one option to enable participants to complete their program and gain certification. Any option will be sent via email and posted to the website. If more than one option is provided, participants must confirm agreement by provided deadlines or yoga4cancer will automatically assign an option. Participants of the program must adhere to all communicated program deadlines and scheduling. If inquiries are submitted to program administrators, achieving program deadlines shall not rely on waiting for a response. Delayed responses to communications from students is not a reason for failure to achieve program schedule or deadlines.
If the program has not started and cancellation is required, the student will receive a full refund.
If the program has started and cancellation is required, students will be provided a partial refund based on the individual’s program progress.
