Teacher Training Terms and Conditions
Last updated: November 2026
These terms and conditions apply to the online teacher training programmes offered by Terra Training Ltd, trading as Yogalaurent. If we offer a training in person, we will publish the terms that apply to it before bookings open. By paying a deposit or making payment in full, you confirm that you have read and accepted these terms.
Please read them carefully and contact us at contact@yogalaurent.com if you have any questions before enrolling.

2. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the law or in our training programmes. The current version is always published at yogalaurent.com/training/terms.
The version in force when you book applies to your booking. If we update the terms after you have booked, the changes do not apply to your booking unless they are needed to comply with the law or you agree to them. We will never add a new charge to a booking you have already made.
If you would like a copy of the version that applies to your booking, please contact us at contact@yogalaurent.com.
3. Enrolment and Confirmation
You must be 18 or over to enrol.
Your place is confirmed once we have received your first payment, whether that is a deposit, a first instalment or full payment, and have sent you written confirmation. If you pay by Bacs Direct Debit, your place is confirmed once the payment has cleared.
Some programmes, such as the 40-hour Advanced Component on its own, require an application, which must be accepted before you can book.
We may accept or refuse an enrolment at our discretion. If we refuse an enrolment after you have paid, we will refund everything you have paid.
4. Payments
Deposit: A non-refundable deposit secures your place, except where these terms say otherwise. The deposit percentage is shown on the training page and at checkout. Paying by deposit is available until two months before the programme start date.
Balance: If you pay by deposit, the balance is due one month before the programme start date. We will remind you before it falls due.
Payment plans: Monthly instalments may be available on selected programmes, until three months before the programme start date. The number of payments and their dates are shown at checkout. The first payment is taken when you book.
Payment methods: You can pay by card, by Bacs Direct Debit, or with Klarna where available. Bank transfer is available only where we have agreed it with you. If you pay by Bacs Direct Debit, your place is confirmed once the payment has cleared. If you pay with Klarna, your credit agreement is with Klarna, not with us.
Late or missed payments: If a balance or instalment is not paid on time, we will contact you and give you 7 days to pay. If it is still unpaid after that, we may cancel your place. Payments already made are then treated as a cancellation under section 5.
5. Cancellation by the Student
All cancellations must be sent in writing to contact@yogalaurent.com.
Your right to cancel within 14 days
You can cancel within 14 days of booking and receive a full refund, including the deposit.
When you book, you ask us to give you access to the learning portal and the course handouts as soon as we release them, even if that is within your 14 days. If you cancel within the 14 days after receiving them, or after attending any sessions, we will keep a fair amount for what you have received.
After the first 14 days
How much we keep depends on how close to the start date you cancel:
- More than two months before the programme start date: we keep up to 30% of the full training fee.
- Between two months and one month before: we keep up to 50% of the full training fee.
- One month or less before: we keep everything you have paid.
We refund anything you have paid above that amount. If you have paid less than that amount, we keep what you have paid and nothing further is due.
This applies however you pay. If you are on a payment plan, your remaining instalments stop as soon as you cancel.
Moving to a later intake instead
Instead of cancelling, you can move your place to the next intake of the same programme, as long as you ask before your programme starts. A transfer fee of £175, including VAT, applies. You do not pay any price increase between intakes. The transfer must be used within 18 months of your original start date. You can transfer once, and a transferred booking cannot then be cancelled for a refund.
The 100-hour training
The 100-hour training is one programme. Once the Foundation has begun, no refund is given for the Advanced Component.
Refunds are paid to your original payment method within 14 days.
6. Cancellation by Terra Training Ltd
We may cancel a programme by giving at least two months’ notice, for example if too few people have enrolled. If we do, you can choose a full refund of everything you have paid, including the deposit, or a place on a later intake at the price you paid.
We are not responsible for any other costs you have incurred.
7. Circumstances Outside Our Control
We are not responsible for any failure or delay in delivering a programme caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control, such as illness or injury of the teacher, failure of internet or power supply, technical failure of third-party platforms such as Zoom, or other emergencies.
If this happens, we will run the affected sessions on a new date, and they will not count against your attendance. If we cannot deliver the programme at all, we will refund the fees paid for the part not delivered. We are not responsible for any other costs you have incurred.
8. Programme Changes
Terra Training Ltd reserves the right to make reasonable changes to the programme content, schedule, or teaching team where necessary. We will communicate any significant changes as early as possible.
9. Attendance, Catch-up and Progression
All live sessions are recorded, so you can catch up if something unavoidable comes up. We strongly recommend attending live whenever you can. Watching a recording is not the same as being there: the learning happens through practising together, getting feedback in real time, watching how others work with the techniques and asking questions as they come up.
Minimum live attendance
To be certified, you need to attend a minimum number of training days live. Recordings and catch-up work do not count towards these minimums.
- Breathwork and Pranayama, 60-hour Foundation: at least 9 of the 12 days (75%)
- Breathwork and Pranayama, 40-hour Advanced Component: at least 7 of the 9 days (roughly 80%)
- Yoga Nidra and Deep Relaxation: at least 6 of the 8 days (75%)
The 100-hour training is the Foundation followed by the Advanced Component, and each has its own minimum. For any programme added later, the minimum is stated on its training page and in your enrolment confirmation.
What counts as attending a day
A day counts as attended when you join the live session on Zoom with your camera on. Missing more than one hour of a day’s session in total, through arriving late, leaving early or stepping away, counts as missing that day.
Certification
You receive the 60-hour certificate when you have completed the Foundation. If you are on the 100-hour training, or joining the 40-hour Advanced Component on its own, you receive the 100-hour certificate when you have completed the Advanced Component. There is no separate 40-hour certificate. Yoga Nidra and Deep Relaxation has its own certificate.
Completing a programme means meeting its attendance minimum, catching up on any missed days and completing all assignments. Laurent uses your assignments and mentoring sessions to confirm you are ready to be certified.
Catching up on missed days
Any day you miss within the minimum must be caught up before you can be certified. That means watching the recording and completing a catch-up assignment, which we set according to what you missed. If we decide you need more than this, we may ask you to book a private catch-up session.
Your fee includes one 30-minute mentoring session with Laurent. Further one-to-one time, including private catch-up sessions, is booked and paid for directly with Laurent Roure, not with Terra Training Ltd, at £60 per hour.
Moving on to the 40-hour Advanced Component
The Advanced Component builds directly on the Foundation. To start it, you need to have completed the Foundation, including all catch-up work, before the first Advanced weekend. This applies even if you have paid for the full 100-hour training. If you have not, your Advanced place moves to the next intake, at no extra charge and at the price you paid.
To join the 40-hour Advanced Component on its own, you need to have completed our 60-hour Foundation or a previous breathwork and pranayama training with us, and to have had your application accepted.
If you fall below the minimum
You cannot be certified with your current group. There are two ways to complete, and Laurent decides which applies.
- One day short: Laurent may let you make up the missed day with private live sessions, booked and paid for directly with Laurent Roure at £60 per hour, and a catch-up assignment. Laurent sets the length of the sessions. If he is satisfied that you are ready, the day counts as attended and you continue as normal, including on to the Advanced Component.
- More than one day short, or where Laurent decides private sessions are not enough: you transfer to a later intake of the same programme, or the same component, and attend the days you missed there. A transfer fee of £175, including VAT, applies. You do not pay any price increase between intakes. If you are on the 100-hour training and this happens during the Foundation, your Advanced place moves to that later intake too, at the price you paid.
A transfer must be used within 18 months of your original start date. If we do not run the programme again within that time, we will agree with you how you can complete it. This may involve private sessions, and we will tell you of any cost before you commit to it.
Missed days and refunds
Missed days are not refunded. Fees are not refundable once the training has begun, including where the attendance minimum is not met. Cancellation before the start date is covered in section 5.
10. Taking Part Online
All programmes are delivered live on Zoom. You need a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone, and a quiet space where you can practise sitting and lying down.
Sessions you miss because of problems with your own connection or equipment count as missed days under section 9.
If a session cannot go ahead because of a problem on our side, we will run it on a new date. If that is not possible, we will provide the recording and other catch-up material, and the session will not count against your attendance.
11. Certification and Accreditation
How you are certified is set out in section 9.
Our programmes are accredited by Yoga Alliance Professionals UK. Registering with them is optional and separate from your training with us. Any membership fee is paid to them and is not included in your training fee.
Your certificate confirms that you have completed our training. It is not a medical, psychological or therapeutic qualification, and it does not on its own qualify you to treat health conditions. You are responsible for working within the limits of your other qualifications, and for arranging your own professional insurance before you teach.
Your certificate is issued in the name you give us when you book, so please make sure it is correct.
12. Code of Conduct
We expect everyone on our trainings to treat teaching staff and fellow trainees with respect, in live sessions and in any group channels linked to the training.
Trainees often share personal experiences during the training. What others share stays within the group. Do not repeat it outside the training, or in any way that could identify the person.
If your behaviour disrupts the training, or makes it unsafe or uncomfortable for others, we will first talk to you about it. If it continues, or in a serious case such as harassment, abuse or discrimination, we may remove you from the programme straight away. If you are removed, no refund is given and you will not be certified.
13. Recordings and Materials
Recordings
We record every live session and add it to the learning portal, where it stays available to you for one year from the first day of your programme. If you transfer to a later intake, or your Advanced Component moves to one, your access runs from the first day of that intake instead. If a recording fails for technical reasons, we will give you other material to cover that session.
The recordings show the main session, including the trainees taking part in it. Breakout rooms are not recorded. If you have concerns about appearing in recordings, please talk to us before you book.
Recordings are for enrolled trainees on your programme only. You must not record, photograph, screenshot or download any session yourself, or share recordings with anyone else.
Course materials
Handouts, audio, video and other materials are for your own learning and are not for sale. You can use what you learn in your own teaching, but you may not copy, share or distribute the materials themselves without our written permission.
14. Health and Wellbeing
Some breathwork, pranayama and deep relaxation practices are not suitable for everyone, for example during pregnancy, or for people with certain heart, respiratory, neurological or mental health conditions.
Before the training starts, please tell us about any health condition, injury or pregnancy that could affect your participation. We may suggest you speak to your doctor before taking part, and we will advise you on adapting or leaving out any practice that is not suitable for you. You can sit out any practice at any time.
The training is professional education, not therapy. If the practices bring up difficult feelings, please tell us, and seek support from your doctor or a mental health professional if you need it.
If we decide, for your safety, that you should not take part, we will agree the next steps with you individually.
We treat any health information you give us as confidential and handle it in line with our Privacy Policy.
15. Your Personal Data
We handle your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.
16. Our Liability
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law.
Otherwise, our total liability to you in connection with a programme is limited to the fees you have paid for it. We are not responsible for losses that were not foreseeable, or for business losses such as loss of income.
Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.
17. Governing Law
These terms and any dispute or claim arising from them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising from these terms.
If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remainder shall continue to apply.
18. Complaints
Please send any complaints in writing to contact@yogalaurent.com. We will acknowledge your complaint promptly and aim to resolve it fairly.
