01Who you are contracting with

This website and all services offered through it belong to Hardwood Magic SRL, registered in Romania, with registration number J31/369/2022 and tax identification number 46129403, registered office at Calacea village, Salaj county. VAT registration: no TVA.

You can reach us at Contact Page. We read every message and reply within two working days. In these terms, "we" means the business named above. "You" means the person booking or attending.

02What we offer

Private yoga sessions, group classes, educational workshops and events online and in person, for private groups, teams and properties.

Everything we offer is part of the wellbeing and movement practices. It is not medical treatment, psychotherapy, physiotherapy, diagnosis or a substitute for any of these. Nothing on this website is medical advice.

03Booking and confirmation

Prices shown on the website are an invitation to enquire, not an offer that binds either of us. Your booking becomes a contract only when I confirm it to you in writing, by email or by message. Where a payment is required to hold your place, the contract forms when that payment reaches me.

If we may need to decline a booking for various reasons, we will say so promptly and return anything you have paid.

If you book on behalf of someone else, you confirm that you have their agreement and that you have passed these terms on to them.

04Prices, payment and currency

Prices are stated in [MONEDA] and are the full price for the service described. Unless a page says otherwise, prices do not include travel to the venue, accommodation outside a retreat package, insurance, visas or personal expenses.

Payment is made by bank transfer or by any other method I confirm to you in writing. Bank charges, currency conversion and card fees on your side are yours to pay. An invoice is issued for every payment.

For retreats, a deposit holds your place and the balance is due by the date stated in your booking confirmation. If the balance is not paid by that date, I may release your place and keep the deposit, as described below.

05Changing or cancelling a private session

You may move or cancel a private session free of charge up to twenty four hours before it starts. Inside twenty four hours the session is counted as taken. The same applies if you do not arrive.

Sessions bought as a package are valid for twelve months from the date of the first session, unless your confirmation says otherwise. Unused sessions after that period are not refunded, although we will always try to find a way for you to use them.

If we have to move a session, we will offer you a new time or return the full value of that session, whichever you prefer.

06Changing or cancelling a workshop or group class

Your place can be cancelled with a full refund up to seven days before the start. Inside seven days, the fee is not refunded, but you may pass your place to someone else or receive the recording where a recording is made.

If too few people join, we may cancel a workshop. In that case you receive a full refund or a place on the next date, as you prefer.

07Changing or cancelling a retreat

A retreat is planned and paid for months in advance, so these terms are firmer. Unless your booking confirmation states something different, the following applies.

The deposit is not refundable at any point. It covers commitments I make to the venue and to local partners as soon as you book.

If you cancel more than ninety days before the start, you pay nothing beyond the deposit and anything already paid above it is returned. Between ninety and sixty days, half of the total price is due. Inside sixty days, the full price is due.

You may transfer your place to another person up to thirty days before the start, provided they accept these terms and are suited to the retreat. One transfer per booking.

If I cancel a retreat for any reason other than force majeure, you receive everything you have paid, including the deposit. I do not reimburse flights, insurance, visas or other costs you arranged yourself, which is why travel insurance is a condition of booking.

08Your right of withdrawal

Consumer law in the European Union gives you fourteen days to withdraw from a contract concluded at a distance. Two things are worth knowing about how that applies here.

Sessions, classes, workshops and retreats booked for a specific date or period are leisure services. For these, the law expressly removes the fourteen day right of withdrawal, under Article 16 letter l of Government Emergency Ordinance 34/2014, which transposes Directive 2011/83/EU. What applies instead are the cancellation terms above, which I have tried to make fair.

Packages of sessions with no fixed dates do carry the fourteen day right. If you ask me to begin within those fourteen days and I do, then withdrawing later means you pay for the part already delivered. Once a package has been fully delivered at your express request, the right of withdrawal is used up.

To withdraw where the right applies, write to me at [EMAIL]. A clear statement is enough. I return your money within fourteen days of receiving it, by the same method you paid.

09Your health and what we need to know

You are responsible for deciding whether a practice is right for you. If you are pregnant, recovering from injury or surgery, living with a medical condition or taking medication that affects balance, blood pressure or alertness, speak to your doctor before you book and tell me what I need to know to keep you safe.

Please tell us about anything relevant before the first session and whenever it changes. Health information is handled as described in the Privacy Policy and is never shared without your agreement.

During any practice, work within your own limits. Stop if something hurts. You may rest at any time. Yoga Nidra and breath practices induce deep relaxation and altered alertness: do not drive, operate machinery or make demanding decisions immediately afterwards.

We may decline to teach you or ask you to leave a session, class or retreat, if we believe continuing would put your safety or anyone else's at risk. Where that happens for reasons outside your control, we return the unused value.

10Online sessions

For online sessions you need a stable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone where the session calls for it and a clear, safe space to practise in. Clear the floor around you before you begin.

If the connection fails on our side, we may reschedule or refund. If it fails on yours, we will do what we can within the booked time, but the session still counts as taken.

We do not record sessions unless we agree beforehand. You may not record, photograph or stream a session without my written agreement.

11Travel, insurance and documents for retreats

Travel insurance covering medical care, repatriation and trip cancellation is a condition of joining any retreat. I may ask to see it. Insurance that covers cancellation for personal reasons is strongly recommended, since the cancellation terms above are firm.

Passports, visas, vaccinations and entry requirements are yours to arrange and to check, including any that change between booking and departure. I cannot refund a retreat you cannot attend because a document was missing or expired.

Unless a page states otherwise, flights and transfers to the starting point are not included. The published programme is an intention, not a promise: weather, local ceremonies, the condition of a road or the needs of the group may change it. I will keep the spirit and the value of what was described.

12Events outside anyone's control

Neither of us is responsible for failing to perform because of something genuinely outside our control: natural events, epidemic, war, civil unrest, government restriction, volcanic activity, the closure of airspace, the failure of a venue, serious illness or similar.

If such an event prevents a retreat or a workshop from going ahead, I will offer you a place on a replacement date or a refund of what I am able to recover from venues and partners, after deducting costs already spent that cannot be recovered. I will show you those costs honestly. This is the reason travel insurance matters.

13What belongs to whom

The text, photographs, recordings, sequences, Yoga Nidra scripts, audio and design on this website and in my materials belong to me or are used with permission. You may keep and use them for your own practice. You may not copy, publish, resell, teach from or share them without my written agreement.

Where I give you a recording or an audio file, you receive a personal, non-transferable permission to use it. It stays mine.

If you send me a review, a photograph or a message, I may quote it with your first name only, unless you ask me not to. You can withdraw that at any time by writing to me.

14Behaviour in a shared space

Retreats and group classes depend on trust. I ask for respect towards other participants, teachers, hosts and the places we are in. I also ask for discretion about anything personal shared in the group.

Behaviour that threatens the safety or the peace of the group, including intoxication that affects others, may end your participation without refund.

15Limits of my responsibility

I carry out my work with the care and skill expected of an experienced teacher. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits my liability for death or personal injury caused by my negligence, for fraud or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

Beyond that, my responsibility for any claim connected with a service is limited to the amount you paid for that service. I am not responsible for indirect losses such as lost earnings, lost flights or lost opportunity.

Accommodation, transport, food and activities provided by third parties on a retreat are supplied under their own terms. I choose partners with care and I will help you deal with any problem, but I am not responsible for their acts or omissions.

Your belongings remain yours to look after, in a studio and on retreat.

16If something goes wrong

Tell me first, as soon as you can and while there is still time to put it right. Write to [EMAIL]. I answer complaints within fourteen days.

If we cannot resolve it between us and you are a consumer resident in Romania, you may address the National Authority for Consumer Protection, ANPC, at anpc.ro or the alternative dispute resolution body attached to it, SAL, at anpc.ro/ce-este-sal. Consumers resident elsewhere in the European Union may use the alternative dispute resolution body in their own country. The European Commission's online dispute resolution platform closed on 20 July 2025 and is no longer a route.

17Law, language and changes

These terms are governed by Romanian law. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live. You may also bring proceedings in the courts of that country. Otherwise the courts of Romania have jurisdiction.

These terms are written in English. If I provide a translation and the two differ, the English version prevails, except where the law of your country requires otherwise.

I may change these terms. The version that applies to your booking is the one published on the day you booked. I will send it to you on request. Changes never reduce rights you already hold under a confirmed booking.

If any part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
