Terms of Service

Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service form a binding agreement between you and Lumen Yoga Academy, LLC ("Lumen Yoga", "we") and govern your use of lumenyoga.com, our learning platform, our live classes and our in-studio classes. By creating an account, enrolling in a course or attending a class, you agree to these terms.

If you are accepting these terms on behalf of a business or organisation, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that organisation, and "you" refers to that organisation.

Accounts and eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account, purchase a course, subscribe to a membership or attend an in-studio class. Some courses are specifically designed for prenatal students, and require clearance from a licensed healthcare provider before you begin — we ask for that clearance as part of enrollment.

You are responsible for keeping your login details confidential and for all activity that happens under your account. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

One person, one account. Accounts are for individual students. Course licenses are not transferable and may not be shared, resold or used to teach a commercial class without permission.

Course access, certificates and livestreams

When you purchase a course you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to view it for as long as we make it available. Certificate of Completion is issued for completing the stated requirements and is not a teaching credential unless the course specifically states that it is a certification pathway.

Live classes are recorded and the recording is added to the replay library for members. The recording is provided for your personal study and must not be redistributed, uploaded elsewhere, or used to create a competing course.

Teacher training is a live cohort program. If you withdraw after the 14-day window, we will work with you on a transfer to a future cohort or a prorated credit, as set out in the refund policy.

Studio classes, health and safety

Yoga involves physical activity. You are responsible for your own health and for consulting a qualified healthcare professional before beginning if you have a medical condition, are pregnant, are recovering from injury or surgery, or have any other concern.

Always tell your instructor before class about injuries, conditions or limitations, so modifications can be offered. In-studio classes are taught without hands-on adjustments unless you request them; you may always decline a hands-on adjustment.

You must follow the rules of the studio, including arriving on time, using a mat appropriately and behaving respectfully towards other students and instructors. We may revoke your access to a studio or live class for unsafe or disruptive behaviour.

Payment, renewals and cancellation

Memberships renew automatically at the end of each billing period until cancelled. We charge your payment method on the renewal date. You can cancel at any time from your account page; your access continues to the end of the period you have already paid for.

Course purchases are one-time payments. Sales tax is collected where required by state law and calculated from your billing address. You are responsible for any tax penalties that arise if your billing address is inaccurate.

Refunds

All self-paced courses carry a 30-day money-back guarantee. Teacher training carries a 14-day full-refund window measured from the first live session. Full details are in our refund policy, which forms part of these terms.

Intellectual property

All course content, lesson videos, audio, images, written materials, logos and software on this website are owned by Lumen Yoga or our licensors and are protected by US copyright law. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive licence to use the materials for your personal study and, where a certificate is issued, for teaching non-commercial classes in your own community.

You may not copy, redistribute, sublicense, resell, record or screen-capture course content, nor use it to train a model, dataset or competing product. Breach of this section entitles us to terminate your account and pursue any available remedy.

Community conduct

Our student community, live classes and studios are learning spaces. We do not tolerate harassment, hate speech, unsolicited medical advice, spam, or promotion of unrelated businesses. We may remove content and suspend accounts that break this rule.

Nothing we publish — including anything in a course, blog article or live class — is medical advice. Always work with a qualified healthcare provider for medical questions.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The website, courses and classes are provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to your use of our services is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, including lost profits or lost opportunities. Some states do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify Lumen Yoga against claims arising from your use of our services in a manner that breaks these terms, your unlawful conduct, or your misrepresentation of being a certified instructor.

Changes, governing law and dispute resolution

We may update these terms. Material changes take effect 14 days after we notify you by email, and your continued use of the services means you accept them.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law rules. Before filing a formal claim, please contact us — we will try to fix the problem. Disputes not resolved that way will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, and you consent to that jurisdiction.

General

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these terms without our written consent; we may assign them to a successor of the business.
