No credit or refund is available if you cancel on your arrival day, do not show up, leave a program, event, or accommodation early, or if you arrive on campus with symptoms of active infection. 

If a guest tests positive for Covid-19 during their retreat, they must leave Kripalu. Guests required to leave due to a positive Covid-19 test will be eligible for a credit on account valid for 1 year from date of issue for the portion missed due to early departure.  

Healing Arts Payment & Cancellations  

Payment is taken at the time of booking and is fully refundable for rescheduling and cancellations up to 24 hours before your service. Rescheduling or canceling treatments within 24 hours will be refunded at 50% of the treatment price as credit on account. No shows will be charged 100% of the cost of treatment. Forfeited funds from no show treatments may be used to fund Healing Arts treatments for Kripalu staff in departments including, but not limited to, housekeeping, dining and food services, and operations. If you need to leave your Day or Overnight stay early due to illness, Kripalu will waive the cancellation fee for Healing Arts treatments cancelled within 24 hours.  

Healing Arts Sick Policy

Kripalu Schools Cancellations & Terms 

A Refund (less a $50 processing fee) will be given according to the following schedule: for cancelations up to the start of the program, 100 percent of monies paid will be refunded. From program start and up to completion of 25 percent of the program, 75 percent of tuition will be credited to your Kripalu account. Up to completion of 50 percent of the program, 50 percent of program tuition will be credited to your Kripalu account. Up to completion of 75 percent of the program, 25 percent of the program tuition will be credited to your Kripalu account. A credit will be issued to your Kripalu account for any unused days related to onsite accommodations (or commuter fee) and meals will also be given. All credits on account will be valid for One (1) year from date of issue. No other refunds or credits are available. Kripalu’s standard cancellation policy applies to all other charges such as Healing Arts booking. Please note: cancellation of program involvement also includes dismissal of a student by Kripalu administration due to violations of student agreements and/or guest center policy. 

Notes on Terms for Schools Programs & Trainings 

For programs offered with multiple onsite and/or online sessions with nonprogram days in between course days, credits on account are based on full program length—meaning total number of days in which the program holds sessions associated with the posted tuition. (E.g. a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher training offered in two 12-day onsite sessions will have one tuition that covers 24 days, and early departure after the first 12-day session would result in a 50% tuition credit plus an additional credit for any unused accommodations/commuter fee and meal charges for program days remaining.)  

For other certifications with multiple modules, program cost is determined based on one module at a time. Program start date refers to the start of each module.  

Refunds for Scholarship Recipients  

Refunds will be given according to the following schedule: for cancellations up to the start of the program, 100 percent of monies paid will be refunded. From program start and up to completion of 25 percent of the program, 50 percent of the monies paid will be credited to your Kripalu account. Up to completion of 50 percent of the program, 25 percent of the monies paid will be credited. All credits on account will be valid for 1 year from date of issue. No other refunds or credits are available, including any additional consideration for accommodations/commuter fee or meals. Kripalu’s standard cancellation policy applies to all other charges such as Healing Arts booking. Please note: cancellation of program involvement also includes dismissal of a student by Kripalu administration due to violations of student agreements and/or guest center policy.
