5. Travel Insurance

It is your responsibility to have travel insurance that covers any activity proposed in the yoga retreat that you book as well as potential losses, cancellations, illness or damage and risks. Lucia Yoga informs you that you should bring the insurance policy in case of any emergency.

We recommend that each trip member purchase individual travel insurance for their trip. It can be a minimal expense for the benefits it provides. We highly suggest that you include the “cancel for any reason” option and a policy that includes medical coverage. The best way to protect yourself from any unforeseen circumstance is to purchase trip insurance.

Travel insurance can protect you in case:

• you cancel your participation in the yoga retreat.
• retreat is cancelled due to weather, natural disaster, war, political upheaval, health crises, pandemics, or any other circumstance outside of our control, or if there are not enough participants to run the retreat.
• lost or delayed baggage
• medical expenses should you become ill or injured

There are a variety of travel insurances, some of which include the option for a comprehensive “cancel for any reason” policy. If you have to cancel your participation in the retreat, your airfare, hotel, retreat costs, etc. can be covered in partial or full. **Please note that many policies require that you secure coverage within 7-15 days after making your initial trip payment (i.e. your deposit with Lucia Yoga) in order to add the "cancel for any reason" policy.** It is your responsibility to choose a travel insurance carrier and educate yourself on their specific terms. Please do research to find what meets your needs best.
