Each Addendum sets out the terms specific to that program. Where there is a conflict between the Master Terms and an Addendum, the Addendum prevails.
Part I โ Master Terms of Service
These terms apply to all products, programs, and services offered by Movement Wisdom Yoga.
About Us / Who is behind Movement Wisdom?
The Movement Wisdom School of Yoga is operated by Roth & Hildebrandt GbR, Malteserstr. 4, 79206 Breisach am Rhein, Germany (referred to in these Terms as "Company," "we," "us," or "our"). Our website is movementwisdomyoga.com. You can reach us at help@movementwisdomyoga.com.
Acceptance of Terms / What am I agreeing to by using this site?
By accessing the Website or enrolling in any program, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, and our Disclaimer, each incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree, you must not access the Website or enroll in any program.
Our Programs and Services / What programs do you offer, and where are they hosted?
We currently offer:
The Movement Wisdom 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training ("YTT" or "the 200-Hour Training")
The Seniors Yoga Specialist Certification ("Seniors Program")
The Pre & Postnatal Practice Library ("Prenatal Library")
We may also offer supplementary products, upgrades, add-ons, physical products, and free resources from time to time. All such offerings are subject to these Master Terms unless otherwise stated at the point of purchase.
Course content and the student community are delivered through Mighty Networks, a third-party platform. When you enroll, you will be prompted to agree to Mighty Networks' own terms of service at the point of account setup, before you access the platform. Your continued use of the platform constitutes your acceptance of those terms.
Enrollment and Account Access / How does enrollment work and what are my login rules?
Enrollment is complete upon successful payment processing. You will receive confirmation and access instructions by email โ please provide accurate contact details and check your inbox.
Your account and login credentials are personal to you. They may not be shared with or used by any other person. You are responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at help@movementwisdomyoga.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
Program Access Duration / How long can I access my program?
You receive access to your program content for as long as that program remains available online. We intend to keep all programs available indefinitely. If we are ever required to take a program offline permanently, we commit to giving enrolled students a minimum of 90 days' advance notice โ enough time to complete the program or download any materials you are permitted to retain.
A note on "lifetime access": You may see this phrase in our marketing. It refers to access for the full operational lifetime of the program โ not a guarantee of permanent, perpetual availability. The 90-day notice commitment above is what you can concretely rely on.
Where payment plan options are available, installment amounts and schedules are stated clearly at checkout. By selecting a payment plan, you agree to complete all payments in full. Failed payments that cannot be recovered after reasonable notice will result in suspended access until the balance is settled; continued non-payment will result in permanent loss of access without refund of amounts already paid.
Physical Activity and Personal Responsibility / What are the risks of practicing yoga, and who is responsible?
Our programs involve yoga practice, including physical movement, breathwork, and meditation. Physical yoga practice carries inherent risks including muscle strains, joint injuries, and falls. Certain programs carry additional considerations, described in the relevant Addendum.
By enrolling and engaging in any physical practices within our programs, you acknowledge that:
You participate entirely at your own risk
You are solely responsible for assessing your own fitness before practicing
We strongly recommend consulting a medical professional before beginning, particularly if you have pre-existing conditions or injuries
Nothing in our programs constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment
We are not liable for any injury or adverse outcome arising from your participation, regardless of how practices are carried out
No Guarantee of Results / Are my career or income results guaranteed?
Our programs provide comprehensive yoga education. We make no representations regarding specific outcomes, career results, employment, income, or professional success. Your results depend entirely on your own effort, commitment, and circumstances โ all beyond our control. Testimonials on our Website represent individual experiences and are not a guarantee of similar results.
Nothing in this section limits any specific satisfaction guarantees described in the applicable Addendum.
Physical Products / Can I return a physical product like the Training Manual?
We offer select physical products including the Training Manual and, from time to time, branded merchandise. All physical products are produced on demand โ created specifically upon purchase. Because of this, we do not accept returns or exchanges for physical items once an order has been placed, consistent with EU regulations permitting exclusion of the right of withdrawal for goods made to a consumer's specifications.
Where a physical product is included as a bonus or promotional item at no additional cost to you, its retail price at the time it was provided will be deducted from any refund you may be entitled to under the applicable Addendum.
Refunds and Deductions / How do refunds work, and what gets deducted?
Specific refund entitlements are set out in the applicable Addendum. The following rules apply across all programs:
Amount refunded: Refunds are based on what you actually paid โ not any nominal or list price. Promotional and bundle prices are refunded at what you paid.
Upgrade deductions: If you purchased upgrades, add-ons, or a bundle that you have already used or accessed, the amount you paid for those will be deducted from your refund. The deduction never exceeds what you actually paid for the upgrade or bundle.
Physical product deductions: If you received a physical product as a free bonus or promotional item, its retail price at the time of delivery will be deducted from your refund. Products purchased separately at full price are not subject to this deduction.
Access upon refund: Upon issuance of any refund, your access to all course content, the community platform, and associated materials is revoked immediately. You agree to cease use of all materials and delete any copies in your possession.
Intellectual Property / What can I do with the course materials?
All course content โ including video lessons, written materials, workbooks, the Training Manual, course structure, graphics, logos, and branding โ is the exclusive intellectual property of the Company or its licensed contributors, protected by applicable copyright law.
Upon enrollment, you receive a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the content for your own personal learning and professional development. You may not:
Share, reproduce, distribute, or publicly display any course content without our prior written consent
Record or capture course video or audio except for permitted personal offline use
Create competing courses or training materials derived from our content
Sell, license, or transfer access to any course materials to any third party
The Movement Wisdom name, logo, and branding are our trademarks and may not be used without prior written consent.
Community Platform and Conduct / What are the rules for the student community?
Our student community is hosted on Mighty Networks (see Our Programs and Services above for details on Mighty Networks' terms). The community is intended to be a respectful, supportive space for all students. By participating, you agree to:
Treat all students, instructors, and staff with kindness and respect
Refrain from offensive, discriminatory, harassing, or defamatory content
Refrain from spam, unsolicited promotion, or commercial solicitation
Respect the intellectual property of the Company and your fellow students
We reserve the right to remove content that violates these standards and to suspend or revoke community access for serious or repeated misconduct. If your community access is revoked, we will make reasonable efforts to ensure you can still access your course content through an alternative means. Removal from the community does not, by itself, entitle you to a refund.
Free and Lead Magnet Content / Can I share or resell the free resources?
We offer free downloadable resources and guides, sometimes in exchange for an email address. These are provided for educational purposes only and are subject to the same intellectual property restrictions above โ they may not be redistributed, resold, or used as the basis for competing materials.
Advertising Compliance / How do your ads relate to these terms?
We use Google Ads and other platforms to promote our programs. Any guarantee, offer, or promotion referenced in our advertising refers only to offers explicitly defined in these Terms or the applicable Addendum. We are committed to advertising that accurately reflects our products and policies. Questions about any advertisement? Contact us at help@movementwisdomyoga.com.
Third-Party Links and Services / Are you responsible for external sites and tools?
The Website and course platform may contain links to external services including payment processors, our course hosting platform, and supplementary resources. We provide these for convenience only and are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party site. Please review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party service you use in connection with our programs.
Privacy and Data / How is my personal data handled?
Your use of our Services is subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data in accordance with German and EU law, including the GDPR. Our Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
No Warranties / What guarantees do you make about the platform?
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Website and all Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranty of any kind. We do not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
Nothing in this section limits any statutory rights you may have as a consumer under German or EU law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Limitation of Liability / What is your maximum legal responsibility to me?
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Company and its owners, employees, and partners are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of โ or inability to use โ our Website or Services. Our total liability for direct damages in connection with a specific program shall not exceed the amount you actually paid for that program.
Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable German law.
Indemnification / When am I responsible for protecting you legally?
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its owners, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of our Services; (b) your violation of these Terms; or (c) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party.
Termination of Access / Can you remove my access, and what happens if you do?
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to any program, course content, or community platform if we reasonably believe you have materially violated these Terms. Termination does not automatically entitle you to a refund, except as provided in the applicable Addendum.
Changes to These Terms / Can these terms change, and will I be notified?
We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date, and enrolled students will be notified by email where appropriate. Continued use of our Services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
Governing Law and Dispute Resolution / Which laws apply, and how are disputes resolved?
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be submitted to binding individual arbitration in Germany. You waive any right to participate in class action or collective proceedings.
If you are an EU consumer, you may use the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform. Nothing in this section affects your statutory rights as a consumer under German or EU law.
General Provisions / What else do I need to know?
These Terms, together with the applicable Addendum, Privacy Policy, and Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company and supersede all prior communications. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force. Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so in the future. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, employment, or agency relationship. It is the express wish of the parties that these Terms and all related communications be in English.
Addendum A โ 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training
These terms apply specifically to the Movement Wisdom 200-Hour YTT and supplement the Master Terms above. Where there is a conflict, this Addendum prevails.
Program Description / What does the 200-Hour YTT include?
The Movement Wisdom 200-Hour YTT is a comprehensive online yoga teacher training covering yoga anatomy, philosophy, multiple yoga styles, teaching methodology, breathwork, meditation, yoga history, and practical teaching skills.
The program is available at different enrollment tiers. The standard enrollment ("Essential") includes all core course content and community platform access. Optional upgrades and add-ons are available separately or as a bundle, with content and pricing clearly stated at the point of purchase.
Graduation and Certification / How do I graduate and what does my certificate mean?
To receive your Movement Wisdom 200-Hour YTT certificate, you must:
Complete all lessons and modules
Participate in the required number of teaching practice sessions, as specified within the course
Pass the final exam
Your certificate confirms completion of the Movement Wisdom 200-Hour YTT requirements. It does not constitute a professional license, regulatory accreditation, or registration with any external yoga alliance or governing body unless explicitly stated. The professional use of your training is entirely your own responsibility.
Teaching Practice Sessions / How do teaching practice sessions work?
The standard enrollment includes participation in a specified number of group teaching practice sessions, detailed within the course. Additional sessions are available as an upgrade, purchasable individually or as part of a bundle.
If you have accessed additional teaching practice sessions through a paid upgrade and subsequently request a refund under either guarantee below, the cost of those sessions will be deducted from your refund in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Master Terms. The deduction will not exceed the amount you actually paid.
The 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee / How do I get a refund within 30 days?
If you are not satisfied with the 200-Hour Training for any reason, you may request a full refund within 30 days of your original purchase date. No explanation is required.
Email help@movementwisdomyoga.com with your name and purchase details and we will process your refund promptly. Please note:
The 30-day period begins on your purchase date, not the date you first access the course
Refunds are subject to the deductions in Sections 8.2 and 8.3 of the Master Terms
Upon refund, all access to course content, teaching practice sessions, and the community platform is revoked immediately
For EU and German residents: This 30-day guarantee meets and exceeds the 14-day statutory right of withdrawal under EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU.
The Ultimate Quality Guarantee / What is the Ultimate Quality Guarantee and how do I claim it?
We are confident that upon graduating, you will not find another yoga teacher who also recently completed their first 200-hour training and is more comprehensively prepared than you. We back that confidence with the following guarantee.
If, within one year of your graduation date, you encounter a yoga teacher who also recently completed their first 200-hour training and you genuinely believe their program prepared them more comprehensively than ours did โ across the core pillars of yoga education โ you are entitled to a full refund of your training fees (subject to the deductions in Sections 8.2 and 8.3 of the Master Terms).
The core pillars for this purpose are: yoga anatomy, yoga philosophy, multiple teaching styles and their methods, teaching methodology and sequencing, breathwork and meditation techniques, yoga history, and key conceptual knowledge.
To make a valid claim, all of the following must be true:
You graduated from the 200-Hour Training within the 12 months preceding your claim
The teacher you are comparing yourself to also recently completed their first 200-hour training โ this guarantee compares first trainings only, not teachers with multiple certifications or years of additional experience
You can name the specific program you believe was superior and explain concretely in what way โ for example, that it covered an additional yoga style, a wider range of meditation techniques, or more accurate anatomy instruction. A general feeling of dissatisfaction, or a comparison based on personal teaching ability rather than curriculum content, does not qualify.
We will review every claim genuinely and in good faith, and honor it without dispute where the conditions are met. This guarantee applies to the 200-Hour YTT only and does not extend to any other Movement Wisdom program.
Physical Activity Notice / What are the physical risks specific to the YTT?
The 200-Hour Training involves active yoga practice including physical postures (asanas), breathwork (pranayama), and meditation. All physical activity is undertaken at your own risk as set out in the Master Terms. We specifically disclaim liability for injuries arising from practicing yoga postures, whether or not demonstrated within the Training. Practice within your own physical limits and seek medical advice before attempting anything that concerns you.
Addendum B โ Seniors Yoga Specialist Certification
These terms apply specifically to the Seniors Yoga Specialist Certification and supplement the Master Terms above. Where there is a conflict, this Addendum prevails.
Program Description / What does the Seniors Certification include?
The Seniors Yoga Specialist Certification is a self-paced online program for yoga teachers and practitioners who want to develop specialized knowledge of yoga for older adults. It includes access to all course content and the student community on Mighty Networks. It does not include live sessions or real-time instructor interaction.
Satisfaction Guarantee / What is the refund policy for the Seniors program?
The Seniors Program is covered by our 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. If you are not satisfied for any reason within 30 days of your original purchase date, email help@movementwisdomyoga.com for a full refund โ no explanation required. Refunds are subject to the deductions in Sections 8.2 and 8.3 of the Master Terms, and all access is revoked upon issuance.
The Ultimate Quality Guarantee (Addendum A, Section A4.2) does not apply to this program.
Physical Activity Notice โ Seniors / What are the specific risks when teaching or practicing yoga with older adults?
The Seniors Program includes yoga practices designed for or demonstrated with older adult populations. Participation in any physical practice involves inherent risk. We draw particular attention to the following:
Older adults may have cardiovascular conditions, osteoporosis, balance impairments, joint replacements, or other health considerations that affect what yoga practices are appropriate
If you are using this program to teach yoga to seniors, it is your professional responsibility to screen students, obtain medical clearance where warranted, and modify or omit unsuitable practices
If you are personally practicing using this program and have any relevant health conditions, we strongly recommend obtaining clearance from your physician before beginning
We are not liable for any injury or adverse health event arising from practices in this program โ whether experienced by you or by any students you subsequently teach.
Addendum c โ Pregnancy Yoga Library (healthy Mama, happy Baby)
These terms apply specifically to the Pre & Postnatal Practice Library and supplement the Master Terms above. Where there is a conflict, this Addendum prevails.
Program Description / What does the Prenatal Library include?
The Pregnancy Yoga Library is a self-service online resource library of yoga practices and educational content for pregnancy and the postpartum period. It is designed for two audiences: (1) pregnant and postpartum practitioners seeking suitable yoga practices; and (2) yoga teachers and YTT students developing competency in teaching prenatal and postnatal yoga.
It includes access to all library content and the student community on Mighty Networks. It does not include live sessions or real-time instructor interaction.
Satisfaction Guarantee / What is the refund policy for the Prenatal Library?
The Prenatal Library is covered by our 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. If you are not satisfied for any reason within 30 days of your original purchase date, email help@movementwisdomyoga.com for a full refund โ no explanation required. Refunds are subject to the deductions in Sections 8.2 and 8.3 of the Master Terms, and all access is revoked upon issuance.
The Ultimate Quality Guarantee (Addendum A, Section A4.2) does not apply to this program.
Health Notice โ Pregnancy and Postpartum / What do I need to know before practicing or teaching prenatal yoga?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve significant physiological change. The risks of physical activity in these contexts are distinct from those of general yoga practice. Please read the following carefully.
If you are currently pregnant:
Consult your physician, obstetrician, or midwife before beginning or continuing any yoga practice, including practices in this library
Not every practice here is appropriate at every stage of pregnancy โ determine what is suitable for your specific stage and health status, ideally with your healthcare provider
Certain practices (including deep twists, strong abdominal work, inversions, hot yoga, and strong pranayama) may be contraindicated during pregnancy. Nothing in this library overrides guidance from your medical professional
If you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, vaginal bleeding, or any unusual symptoms, stop immediately and seek medical attention
If you are postpartum:
Resume physical activity only when cleared by your healthcare provider โ recovery varies significantly between individuals
Approaches involving core activation, pelvic floor engagement, or intense exertion should be treated with particular caution in the weeks and months following birth
If you are a yoga teacher or student using this library professionally:
This library enhances your professional knowledge โ it does not qualify you as a medical professional or clinical specialist
It is your professional responsibility to require medical clearance from pregnant and postpartum students, to screen appropriately, and to modify or omit unsuitable practices
You accept full responsibility for how you apply this content in your teaching
We are not medical professionals. Nothing in this library constitutes medical advice, clinical guidance, diagnosis, or treatment. We are not liable for any injury, complication, or adverse health event โ to you or to any students you subsequently teach โ arising from use of this content.
