These Terms of Service govern your use of the MY Studio member portal and your participation in classes, workshops, retreats, and other offerings provided by Michelle Rubin Yoga (“the Studio”). By enrolling or accessing the App, you agree to these terms.
1. Membership Model
When you enroll in a class, you are reserving a permanent weekly seat in that specific class timeslot. Your enrollment continues indefinitely until you cancel. You are not purchasing drop-in classes — you are entering an ongoing membership for that timeslot.
2. Billing
Monthly membership fees are billed on the 15th of the month prior to the month of service. For example, March classes are billed on February 15th. By enrolling, you authorize the Studio to charge your payment method on this schedule.
Current monthly rates (inclusive of GST): 1 class/week $75 · 2 classes/week $120 · 3 classes/week $145 · 4 classes/week $170. Payment is processed securely via Stripe. The Studio does not store your card information.
3. Minimum Commitment
New enrollments carry a minimum commitment of one full calendar month.
4. Cancellation Policy
To cancel, notify the Studio in writing at registration@michelleyoga.com before the 15th of the month prior to your desired last month. For example, to end after March, cancel before February 15th. Requests received on or after the 15th take effect the following month.
5. Missed Classes and Makeup Credits
Mark yourself absent in the App at least 2 hours before class to earn a makeup credit. Credits may be used to book a seat in any appropriate-level class with available space. Credits expire January 1st annually and are non-transferable for cash. The policy operates on an honour system.
6. Punchcard Passes
10-class punchcard passes are $200 ($20/class) and expire 3 months from purchase. Unused classes are non-refundable after expiry.
7. Workshops and Retreats
Registration deposits are non-refundable. Cancellations with sufficient advance notice may receive a 50% credit. Cancellations due to documented illness may receive credit equivalent to two group classes. The Studio reserves the right to cancel or reschedule due to insufficient enrollment or circumstances beyond its control; a full refund will be provided in such cases.
8. Membership Pause
Students enrolled continuously for one year or more may request one pause per calendar year. Contact registration@michelleyoga.com. Duration is at the Studio’s discretion.
9. Liability Waiver
Yoga and physical activity carry inherent risks. By enrolling, you acknowledge that you participate voluntarily and at your own risk, that you are in sufficient health to participate, and that you will inform the instructor of any relevant health conditions prior to class.
To the fullest extent permitted by British Columbia law, you release and discharge Michelle Rubin and Michelle Rubin Yoga from any and all claims, damages, losses, or liability arising from your participation, including injuries sustained during class, on Studio premises, or at retreat locations. This release does not apply to gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
10. Online and Video Content
All content is for personal use only. Recording, redistributing, or sharing Studio content without written permission is prohibited.
11. Conduct
The Studio reserves the right to refuse service or terminate a membership for disruptive or disrespectful conduct.
12. Changes to These Terms
Material changes will be communicated by email. Continued participation after updated terms take effect constitutes acceptance.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and applicable federal laws of Canada. Disputes shall be resolved in the courts of British Columbia.
