Mothers Space
Terms & Conditions

Terms & Conditions

Please read these terms and conditions carefully before booking Mothers Space. By booking a place, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to the following.

BOOKING & PAYMENT

Mothers Space is a six-week mother and baby series, with six weekly 60-minute sessions.

The full series costs £85 and payment is made in full when booking.

Your booking reserves your place for all six sessions. Places are limited to keep the group small and welcoming.

Mothers Space is intended to be attended as a complete six-week series rather than as individual drop-in sessions.

CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY

Mothers Space is booked as a six-week series, with your place reserved for all six sessions.

If you need to cancel your place, please get in touch as soon as possible.

More than 72 hours before the first session
You can cancel your place and receive a full refund.

Within 72 hours of the first session
Your booking is non-refundable unless we are able to fill your place from the waiting list. If we are able to fill your place, we will refund you in full.

Once the series has started
Bookings are non-refundable and non-transferable. We are unable to offer refunds or reductions for individual sessions missed.

These terms do not affect any statutory rights you may have under UK consumer law.

ATTENDANCE

Please arrive in good time for your session so that you can settle yourself and your baby before we begin.

If you or your baby are unwell or experiencing symptoms of a contagious illness, please stay home and do not attend the session.

If your baby needs your attention during the session, you're welcome to pause, feed, cuddle, settle them or step outside for a moment.

ATTENDING WITH YOUR BABY

Babies are very welcome throughout Mothers Space. Feeds, naps, cuddles, wriggles and crying are all part of the experience.

If your baby needs your attention during the session, you're welcome to pause, feed, cuddle, settle them or step outside for a moment. There is no expectation that your baby will remain settled throughout the class.

Mothers Space is not childcare. You remain responsible for your baby throughout the session, including during movement and while using any equipment or props.

Please ensure that your baby is kept safe and within your care throughout the session.

YOGA, MOVEMENT & YOUR WELLBEING

Mothers Space includes gentle yoga, movement, breathwork and relaxation designed for mothers in the early season of motherhood.

Everyone's pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience is different. It is your responsibility to listen to your body and participate only in movements, exercises and breathwork that feel appropriate and comfortable for you.

You are welcome to rest, modify or skip any movement at any point during a session.

If you have any concerns about whether yoga, movement or breathwork is suitable for you following pregnancy or birth, please seek advice from your GP, midwife, physiotherapist or another appropriately qualified healthcare professional before attending.

Mothers Space is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Please let me know before the session if there is anything relevant to your participation that you would like me to be aware of. You do not need to share anything you are not comfortable sharing.

POSTNATAL RECOVERY

Mothers Space is designed to support mothers in the early season of motherhood, but it is not a postnatal rehabilitation programme.

If you are recovering from a caesarean birth, significant tearing, complications or any other condition that may affect your ability to participate, please seek appropriate medical or professional advice before attending.

Please honour your own recovery and take things at your own pace during the sessions.

JOURNALLING & REFLECTION

Journalling is offered as an opportunity for personal reflection and exploration.

There is no expectation to write about anything specific or to share what you write with the group.

You are welcome to participate in as much or as little journalling as feels right for you.

SAFETY & RESPONSIBILITY

You are responsible for your own wellbeing and for making appropriate decisions about your participation during each session.

Please let me know if something doesn't feel right, and stop or modify an activity whenever you need to.

You are also responsible for the safety and wellbeing of your baby throughout the session.

Every reasonable care will be taken to provide a safe environment, but participation in physical activity carries some inherent risk. By attending Mothers Space, you acknowledge that you are choosing to participate in movement and other activities at your own discretion.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

ATTENDANCE

Please arrive in good time for your session so that you can settle yourself and your baby before we begin.

If you arrive late, please enter quietly and settle in when you can.

If you or your baby are experiencing symptoms of a contagious illness, please stay at home.

IF YOU MISS A SESSION

If you cannot attend one of the six sessions, please let me know where possible.

Unfortunately, missed sessions cannot be refunded, transferred to another person or carried over to a future Mothers Space series.

IF A SESSION NEEDS TO BE CANCELLED

In the unlikely event that I need to cancel a session, I will make every reasonable effort to offer an alternative date.

If an alternative session cannot be arranged, you will receive a refund for the cancelled session.

If the venue or other circumstances outside of my reasonable control mean that a session cannot take place as planned, I will communicate with you as soon as possible and explain the available options.

RESPECTING THE SPACE

Mothers Space is intended to be a warm, inclusive and respectful space for everyone.

Please respect the privacy, experiences and boundaries of the other mothers attending.

What someone chooses to share within the group should be treated with care and kept private.

There is never an expectation to share personal experiences, participate in discussion or disclose anything you would prefer to keep private.

PHOTOGRAPHY & FILMING

I will never photograph or film you or your baby for promotional purposes without your permission.

If photographs or videos are taken during a session, I will ask for your consent before using any image or footage in which you or your baby can be identified.

CONTENT & MATERIALS

The Mothers Space journal, prompts, written materials and other content provided as part of the series are for your personal use.

Please do not reproduce, distribute, sell or share these materials without permission.

CHANGES TO THE PROGRAMME

I may occasionally need to make small changes to the content, timings or arrangements of a session.

If there are any significant changes to the series, I will let you know as soon as possible.

PRIVACY

Information provided when booking or attending Mothers Space will be handled in accordance with the Mothers Space Privacy Policy.

Some online tracking technologies help us maintain the security of our Services, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and assist with basic site functions.

We also permit third parties and service providers to use online tracking technologies on our Services for analytics and advertising, including to help manage and display advertisements or to tailor advertisements to your interests. The third parties and service providers use their technology to provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interests which may appear either on our Services or on other websites.

Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice: https://www.squarespace.com/cookie-policy.

6. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS?

In Short: If you choose to register or log in to our Services using a social media account, we may have access to certain information about you.

Our Services offer you the ability to register and log in using your third-party social media account details (like your Facebook or X logins). Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often include your name, email address, friends list, and profile picture, as well as other information you choose to make public on such a social media platform.

We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are described in this Privacy Notice or that are otherwise made clear to you on the relevant Services. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party social media provider. We recommend that you review their privacy notice to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information, and how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.

7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organisational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organisational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorised third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.

We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 18 years of age, nor do we knowingly sell such personal information. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at maitrimethodyoga@gmail.com.

In Short: In some regions, such as the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), and Switzerland, you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time, depending on your country, province, or state of residence.

11. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ('DNT') feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT signals has been finalised. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Notice.

12. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE?

In Short: Yes, we will update this notice as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.
