WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL OR I JUST DON’T SHOW UP?
Has your boss got you working late? Stuck in traffic or fee a fever and sniffles coming on? Whatever your reason, we just ask that you cancel your class on EverSports. We don’t accept cancellations via email, phone or social media. If the cancellation happens less than 12 hours from the scheduled class, unfortunately you forfeit that pass. This applies to group classes as well as private classes.
Our cancellation policies are in place because our spots are super limited, and we want everybody to have access. As part of a tight-knit community of beautiful humans that make Soma Co., we thank you for understanding ☻

HOW DO I CANCEL OR PAUSE MY STUDIO MEMBERSHIP?
Travelling? Moving? We get it. Life happens, so let’s figure this out.
You can pause your membership up to 5 weeks per calendar year. We need 2 weeks’ notice to execute a pause.
Our unlimited Memberships have a 6-month minimum commitment. Any pauses will be added to your term.Â
Thereafter, we have a 30-day notice period from your next payment date. So if your payments go out on the 15th, you need to cancel before the 15th of the previous month to avoid being charged this month.
Studio Membership cancellations and holds can only be processed via an email to us. That’s, hello@soma-co.studio ☻
HOW DO I CHANGE MY PAYMENT DETAILS FOR GROUP CLASSES?
You can only update your stored payment details on EverSports. You can do this in your App account, or we can help you in studio.
Â
HOW DO I PAY FOR PRIVATE CLASSES?
Private classes are paid in advance, via EFT or in cash.Â
CAN I COME TO THE STUDIO WITHOUT BOOKING?
Our classes are really small, so booking ahead of time is HIGHLY recommended. If you would like to try your luck for late cancellation (chances are, someone might not show up), please ensure you have your EverSports account set up and ready to book! We cannot accept payment other than via the EverSports App!
HOW DO WAITLISTS WORK?
While we wish we could have space for everyone, we keep classes small. That means classes are full quickly. The good news? Someone ALWAYS cancels. Join the waitlist via the EverSports App and ensure your notifications are on. When a spot opens up, you receive a notification and you can rush to fill that spot.
Are you in the neighborhood? Feel free to pop in before class starts, even if you did not get a spot. If someone no-shows, you can hop in!
If you grab one of the waitlisted spots, our usual cancellation policy applies.
Hot tip: Always jump on a waitlist, you’ll most likely get in! ☻
DO YOU HAVE GIFT VOUCHERS?
We sure do! Beautifully made, the perfect gift for a friend, loved one, colleague, teacher….
Choose between purchasing a Gift Voucher on EverSports or collect a physical Gift Card from our 1020 studio. We can also post it to you or the recipient, no worries.
No. One of our fundamental beliefs is that Yoga cannot and should not be commodified or watered down. In our humble opinion, the Yoga Alliance standards for Yoga Teacher Certification are not up to scratch. It takes more than 200 hours to make a Yoga Teacher because Yoga is not a practice, it is a way of life (hence why we do not, and will not offer yoga teacher certifications). All Soma Co. Yoga training facilitators have a minimum of 10 years full-time teaching experience and 1000s of hours of training. We have dedicated our lives to Yoga and see ourselves as life-long students. We want nothing more than to share our love for Yoga while simultaneously elevating the standard of the Yoga offering, here.
Yes, all our graduates receive a certificate of completion if they have attended a minimum of 90% of the hours included in the CE trainings and a Reformer Teaching Certificate upon completion and successful assessment of the Reformer Teacher Certification. These can be used as proof of your education when applying for teaching positions and your resulting training and skills as teachers will be proof of your excellent education.
Yes! Our goal is to provide comprehensive training that will help you be the best Yoga or Pilates teacher you can be, with the tools and confidence to offer fantastic classes straight away. But this is a life-long journey and there is no better certification or training than experience and dedication. With time, the training you received here will be the foundation of your own development as a teacher. We all start somewhere.
We believe in making our trainings as accessible as possible. As such we offer payment plans, scholarships and promotional pricing on all of our offerings, so that everyone can have a shot. CLICK HERE to send us an email to find out more!Â
All of our programmes and trainings are geared towards fitness professionals.Â
They require a certain amount of background knowledge and experience in the industry, be teaching Yoga, Pilates, Fitness or similar.
