Frequently Asked Questions

CAN I BOOK ON MY OWN?

Yes, you are very welcome to book any HIFE Retreat your own. Many of our guests use the Retreats to take time for themself. I try my best to reduce the room rate for solo occupancy.

I AM NEW TO FITNESS, WILL I BE OKAY?

Yes! Retreats are a great way to familiarise yourself with movement and start building healthy habits. You will be completely looked after, and everything we do will be scaled to each individual's needs.

WILL THERE BE DOWN TIME?

Yes. Although on each Retreat there is always a lot I am excited to share with you, I also realise the importance of time to fully relax and unwind. I highly recommend booking spa treatments, bringing a good book to read and enjoying a long bubble bath.

ARE THE RETREATS ALL-INCLUSIVE?

Yes. For the majority of our Retreats the price covers accommodation, classes, workshops and food. Extras include travel to and from the venue as well as treatments. Please ask out specific Retreats to be sure.

DO WE NEED TRAVEL INSURANCE?

I encourage and advise you to travel with insurance. Should you be unable to attend, compensation must come from your travel insurance. HIFE Retreats are unable to refund your ticket once the final payment has been made.

Terms and Conditions

Bookings

All bookings must be secured with a deposit, transferred online to HIFE Retreats Limited.

Once this deposit is paid the room is yours and is non refundable. However I appreciate circumstances can change and if you are no longer able to attend (prior to making your final payment) your deposit can be transferred to another HIFE Retreat.

The final balance will be due at a later date (dependent on the property being rented / hotel booking). This is requested as a one off payment however payment plans are available.

Once the final payment has been made bookings are non refundable, I will always strive to sell rooms which become available and in this instance I am able to offer credit towards another HIFE Retreat.

Allergies and Injuries

You will be asked about any allergies, intolerance and injuries prior to attending the Retreat. It is your responsibility to confirm these with the teacher, host, chef on arrival.

Insurance

Please always travel with your now insurance. Should you be unable to attend, compensation must come from your travel insurance.

Health

Yoga and Pilates include physical movements as well as an opportunity for relaxation, stress re-education and relief of muscular tension. As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. If you experience any pain or discomfort please will listen to your body, discontinue the activity, and ask for help. In attending a HIFE Retreat you assume full responsibility for any and all damages, which may incur through participation in any of the classes, walks or activities over the course of the Retreat.

Yoga, Pilates and any treatments undertaken over the course of the retreat are not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis or treatment. Classes and activities (including any spa treatments) are not recommended and may not be safe for many varying medical conditions.
