What happens if I miss a session or want extra help?
We understand that it’s not always possible to make all the training days in full – for instance, if you have already planned a wedding, or a house move etc. Pre-planned, pre-authorised absence is not a problem, because Yogafurie offers catch-up afternoons. If you can’t make a course session, then you must attend catch-up afternoons until we’ve covered all the content missed.
We must stress that catch-up is not an alternative to attending course sessions. You will be expected to attend all sessions, only using catch-up for major life events that you simply could not reschedule.
Catch-up is always the Thursday and Friday afternoon, 2-5PM, in the week after a course weekend. Please inform the studio if you want to come to catch-up, so that we can prepare content.
You don’t have to miss a session to make use of catch-up: if you just want extra help, let us know and we can go over what you need in catch-up time.
You can only pass the course if you have a complete attendance record, and in exceptional circumstances you can use catch-up to cover missed content.
