I’m Aisha Al Balushi, Yoga and Pilates instructor, and I’ll be the person teaching and attending each session. These terms are the practical ground rules for how I schedule, deliver, and invoice your sessions, so you know what to expect and I know what you’ve approved.
If you’ve accepted a proposal from me for these sessions, the proposal and this agreement are meant to be read together. If there’s a mismatch, I’ll flag it and we’ll confirm the right version in writing before I deliver the next session.
What you’re booking
A private yoga session is one-to-one instruction (or a small private group if we’ve agreed that in writing), including an initial intake and simple movement screen, then a paced session plan for the time booked. Sessions usually take place in your home or on-site at your hotel or workplace, and I’ll confirm the exact time and location in writing before I travel.
You’ll provide a quiet space with clear floor area for the full session time. I bring a yoga mat and small props that travel easily, like blocks and straps. If you prefer your own mat or towels, please have them ready.
Payment
Recurring sessions are billed in advance. If you’re on a membership or a term, I invoice at the start of each period, before the sessions in that period take place. If you book single sessions outside a recurring plan, I invoice when you book, before the session happens.
Every invoice is payable within 7 days of its date. I’ll confirm what your current plan covers (for example: how many sessions in the period, and what types of sessions are included) in writing so it’s easy to check what you’re paying for.
Cancellations and no-shows
When you book a session time, I hold that slot for you and I plan travel and setup around it. I use a clear cancellation notice window that I set, and I’ll confirm the current notice requirement in writing before you book or renew.
If you cancel after that notice window, or nobody is available at the booked time, I treat it as a late cancellation or a no-show. Any late-cancellation or no-show fee is set by me and confirmed in writing in advance. If I need to cancel due to illness or an emergency, I’ll tell you as soon as I can and offer the next available make-up slot or a credit.
Using a pack or membership
If you buy a block, pack, or membership, you use it by booking private yoga sessions in advance. I’ll confirm your booking times in writing, and each completed session is deducted from the pack or counted within the current period.
Rules like whether unused sessions carry over, whether you can pause, and whether the pack expires are set by me and depend on the plan you choose. I’ll confirm the current policy in writing before you pay. Refunds are not automatic because I reserve time for you, but if something changes on my side and I can’t reasonably deliver what you purchased, I’ll offer a fair option such as a credit or refund for the undelivered part.
Health and pacing
Before the first session, you’ll tell me about anything that could affect your practice, including injuries, pain, pregnancy, dizziness or fainting history, recent surgery, medical conditions, and any allergies or sensitivities that matter for your environment. If anything changes between sessions, please tell me before we start.
I’ll ask questions at the start, pace conservatively, and I may adapt, pause, or stop an exercise if I think it’s not safe for you on the day. You’re responsible for telling me straight away if anything feels painful, dizzy, or unsafe, and for choosing to rest or stop when you need to.
Your choice to take part
Yoga and Pilates-style movement work involves normal risks, including muscle soreness, strains, aggravating a pre-existing injury, falls, and feeling lightheaded if you change position quickly. You’re choosing to take part, and you agree to follow reasonable safety cues, work within your comfort, and tell me if something doesn’t feel right.
This does not cover carelessness on my part. I’m responsible for teaching with appropriate care and attention, and for stopping or changing the plan if safety becomes a concern. Even with sensible pacing, I can’t promise that nothing will ever go wrong.
Access to your space
If sessions are in your home, you’ll make sure I can enter at the booked time. If you want to share a key, building pass, or entry code, we’ll agree a safe handover method in advance, and you can change or withdraw access at any time.
For safeguarding and comfort, I ask that another responsible adult is present for sessions with a minor, and that you tell me in advance if anyone else will be moving through the room during the session. If I can’t get in at the booked time, or the space isn’t available, I’ll wait a reasonable amount of time and contact you. If the delay means we start late, I may still need to end at the original finish time.
What this is not
Private yoga sessions are instructional movement sessions. They are not medical care, physiotherapy, psychotherapy, or massage treatment. I can’t diagnose injuries, interpret scans, or prescribe rehab, and I can’t guarantee a specific result.
If you’re under medical care, returning from injury, or managing a condition that needs clinical oversight, you’ll get the right clearance and guidance from your doctor or relevant clinician. I’m happy to work within those boundaries if you share the key do’s and don’ts in plain language.
Photos and video
I only take photos or video of you (or of a session setup that clearly includes you) if you give me permission first. If you say no, it won’t change the service or how I teach. If you say yes, you can change your mind at any time.
If you do give permission, I’ll confirm what you’re agreeing to in simple terms, such as whether it’s for private form-check reference, for sharing with you, or for my marketing. I won’t tag you or share your name unless you ask me to, and I won’t use images of minors without a parent or guardian’s permission.
Ongoing booking and renewals
Recurring work runs in periods (for example, weekly sessions billed as a monthly membership or a fixed term). I invoice at the start of each period, and payment is due within 7 days of the invoice date. Your plan renews period by period unless you or I end it.
Because schedules matter for homes, hotels, and workplaces, I ask for notice to stop or pause a recurring plan. The notice period is set by me and I’ll confirm the current notice requirement in writing before you start or renew. Sessions already booked in the current paid period still run unless we agree a change in writing.
Ending the arrangement
You can end the arrangement by giving the notice I’ve set for recurring plans, which I’ll confirm in writing. If you’ve already paid for a period, I’ll either deliver the remaining sessions within that paid period or, if that’s not practical, we’ll agree a fair outcome for any sessions I can’t deliver.
I may also end the arrangement if your conduct, your space, or the situation on-site makes sessions unsafe, or if you repeatedly ignore agreed boundaries or payment terms. If that happens, I’ll tell you promptly and confirm in writing what happens next with any sessions already paid for, focusing on safety and a clean handover.
