2. REGISTRATION & PAYMENT
A €500 deposit is required to reserve your place on the Training.
The deposit is non-refundable, subject to the cancellation and transfer provisions outlined below.
Your place is confirmed once:
- The required payment has been successfully received; and

PAYMENT PLANS & INSTALMENTS
Payment plans are offered as a payment option for the full Awaken the Heart 200-Hour Anusara Yoga Teacher Training fee.
By selecting a payment plan, you are committing to pay the full agreed Training fee, including the additional 10% payment-plan fee, according to the instalment schedule selected at the time of registration.
RECURRING PAYMENTS
Payment plans are set up as automatic recurring payments.
Your agreed instalment will be charged automatically each month on the scheduled payment date until the full balance has been paid.
It is the student's responsibility to ensure that:
- The payment method provided remains valid; and
- Sufficient funds are available on each payment date.
FULL PAYMENT COMMITMENT
Selecting a payment plan does not mean that you are purchasing the Training on a month-to-month basis.
All scheduled instalments remain payable for the full duration of the selected payment plan, regardless of whether the student subsequently chooses or is able to continue participating in the Training.
If a student withdraws from, stops attending, or otherwise chooses not to continue the Training after entering into a payment plan, the remaining scheduled instalments will still be due.
The student remains responsible for payment of the full agreed Training fee, subject to the Student Cancellation Policy and any rights that may apply under applicable law.
MISSED OR FAILED PAYMENTS
If an automatic payment is unsuccessful, the student will be contacted and asked to arrange payment as soon as possible.
Students are responsible for ensuring that any missed payment is brought up to date promptly.
Repeated or unresolved payment failures may result in suspension of access to:
- Online course materials
- Participation in the Training
- Other programme components
until the outstanding payment has been received.
Any bank, payment processor or other fees arising from failed or delayed payments may be payable by the student where applicable.
CANCELLATION & PAYMENT PLANS
The Student Cancellation Policy applies to students who cancel or withdraw from the Training.
Cancellation or withdrawal does not automatically cancel a payment-plan agreement or release the student from their remaining payment obligations.
Where a student is eligible for a transfer or credit under the Student Cancellation Policy, this will be applied in accordance with that policy and does not automatically cancel any outstanding payment obligations unless otherwise agreed in writing by Bindu Institute.
EARLY PAYMENT
Students may contact Bindu Institute if they wish to settle their remaining balance early. Any applicable payment-plan terms or processing arrangements will be confirmed at that time.

Because the two in-person modules are an essential part of the programme, students should make appropriate travel and personal arrangements to attend the full scheduled Training.
MAKE-UP TRAINING
If a student misses any required portion of the Training but wishes to complete the YTT and receive certification, they may be required to complete an approved make-up session or equivalent training requirement at an additional fee.
The format, timing and requirements of any make-up training will be determined by Bindu Institute based on:
- The training missed;
- The requirements needed for certification; and
- The availability of the teaching team.
Any additional fees associated with make-up training are the responsibility of the student and are separate from the original Training fee.
Completion of missed training does not guarantee certification unless all required components of the programme have been satisfactorily completed.

Students are responsible for arranging and paying for their own:

This includes:
- Attendance at both in-person modules
