Policies

I recognize that the Lauren Lewis Yoga hosted program at the Feathered Pipe Ranch in which I will participate may require physical exertion that may be strenuous, and I am fully aware of the risks and hazards involved. If not, I will make efforts to learn of the health risks of this type of program. I am aware that Lauren Lewis Yoga and the Feathered Pipe Ranch is not staffed or equipped to provide medical advice about such risks, or to provide medical care, treatment, or diagnosis to any program participants. I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to and regarding my participation in the program. I represent and warrant that I am physically able to participate and have no medical condition which could prevent my full participation in a program. I understand that Lauren Lewis Yoga or Feathered Pipe Ranch does not provide any medical or health screening of participants, instead relying on the good faith of participants like myself to cooperate as described in this agreement to help keep all of us safe and healthy.

I acknowledge that I am aware of the current pandemic risks and the possibility that I could contract an illness from being exposed to the virus from another person during the program, or while traveling to and from it, or while on activities or field trips. I also represent and warrant that prior to the program (per CDC’s advisory at the time of the retreat) that if I am diagnosed with, test positive for, or have any symptoms of having contracted a contagious illness, including but not limited to COVID-19, that I will contact Lauren Lewis Yoga and cancel my attendance of the program. (See Cancellation Policy for cancellation/refund options.)

Knowing the potential risks in participating in a Lauren Lewis Yoga Retreat hosted at Feathered Pipe Ranch, I attest that I am voluntarily participating in these activities with knowledge of the risks involved.

For cancellations by the registrant 8 weeks or less from the beginning date of the program DEPOSIT AND PAYMENTS will be NON-REFUNDABLE (but transferrable to another person for the same program, same year if preferred).

All cancellations must be received in writing by email at lauren@laurenlewisyoga.com or by phone 303-501-3967.  Refunds, if available and/or applicable, will be remitted within 30 days.

CANCELLATION BY FEATHERED PIPE FOUNDATION OR LAUREN LEWIS YOGA: In the event that the program has to be cancelled or postponed to a later date by Feathered Pipe Foundation or Lauren Lewis Yoga for any reason, we will transfer your registration and deposits/payments made to the rescheduled program, or  refund all program deposits/payments if desired.

TRAVEL INSURANCE RECOMMENDED: In the event of cancellation at any time, for any reason, and by any party, Lauren Lewis Yoga and the Feathered Pipe Foundation WILL NOT be held responsible for refund of airline tickets, ticket change fees or other travel expenses. For these reasons we STRONGLY URGE that you purchase travel insurance to protect your investment.

Given the ongoing concerns from the COVID -19 pandemic, the Feathered Pipe Foundation has established a set of safety protocols for all staff, guests, and teachers to follow during our 2022 season at the Feathered Pipe Ranch. For the health and safety of our guests and staff, all Feathered Pipe retreat program registrants are required to review the safety protocol below and confirm consent to follow all procedures.

ALL REGISTRANTS intending to participate in a Feathered Pipe retreat program during the 2023 season will be asked to take a COVID-19 test (antigen or PCR) within 24 hours prior to your program’s start date. This is based on the honor system and no documentation is necessary. Upon arrival, all guests must inform Feathered Pipe staff if they are in any way feeling ill. .

If a participant becomes ill during a program, the participant must immediately inform staff. A quarantine accommodation will be available on the Feathered Pipe Ranch grounds for anyone who may potentially be suffering from infection for the duration of program. If quarantine is necessary after the end date of the program, Feathered Pipe will assist in locating a suitable accommodation in Helena for the participant; the Feathered Pipe Foundation, however, WILL NOT be held responsible for any ensuing housing, medical, or travel delay/change/cancellation costs.

For these reasons, we STRONGLY URGE program participants purchase travel insurance with substantial COVID-19 coverage immediately upon finalizing registration. We recommend roamright.com or travelexinsurance.com, which both offer coverage at a reasonable rate.

Please note: Protocols are subject to change based on recommendations from CDC and/or local Department of Health recommendations.
