Travel Insurance

Always make certain that you have insurance cover as soon as you book your holiday or flight. If you do not have an annual travel insurance policy you can take out cover just for the dates of your holiday at any point prior to the holiday taking place. The Post Office Travel Insurance includes cover fro Covid.

Taking out cover straight away ensures that should anything unexpected happen that is covered by the insurance policy  you can make a claim . Travel insurance policies vary enormously ALWAYS read the small print

Brexit and how it affects your travel

Passport You will now need at least three months validity left on your passport when travelling to an EU country and probably 6 months for further afield. Be especially careful if you renewed your passport early last time you renewed as this does not include the extra time on your passport between the actual renewal date and the date it was due for renewal. Follow this link, click on the country you are travelling to and then click on Entry Requirements http://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice

The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)  which gave free, or reduced rate, healthcare when visiting the EU has been replaced with the UK Global Healthcare Insurance Card (GHIC).

This is free of charge, visit nhs.uk.ghic to obtain yours. You can continue to use your old EHIC until it expires. Neither of these cards covers Liechtenstein, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland. Do not forget to take out additional travel insurance as these cards do not cover all costs should you become sick or injured when in an EU country.
Remember that the GHIC is not an alternative to travel insurance. It will not cover any private medical healthcare or costs, such being flown back to the UK, or lost or stolen property.

Updates - flight delays

My flight has been delayed. Can I get compensation?

Check the Citizens advice website for detailed information by following this link

https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/holiday-cancellations-and-compensation/if-your-flights-delayed-or-cancelled/

Also read the following

Airlines don't have to pay out for delays caused by snow because weather is classified as an "extraordinary circumstance" – though some airlines may issue a refund at their discretion. For those of you flying to India you are almost certainly on a non EU airline so contact them direct to see exactly what you are entitled to.

According to Which magazine you can challenge your airline if you don't agree there were extraordinary circumstances – for example, if you are told you can't fly due to the snow, but other flights are departing. "Airlines may stretch the definition of extraordinary circumstances further than they should."

Which Magazine  states:-

If the delay is not caused by extraordinary circumstances you will be entitled to compensation under EU rules, but only if you are flying with an airline based in the EU or with a non-EU-based airline flying from an EU airport, and only if the delay is for two hours or more. If you are flying somewhere else or with a non-EU-based airline not flying from the EU you'll have to check that carrier's terms and conditions.

If you are delayed for two hours or more you are entitled to: two free phone calls, faxes or e-mails; free food and drinks; and free hotel accommodation if you need to stay overnight.

If your flight arrives at its destination three hours or more late you will receive compensation of between €250 and €600, depending on how far your flight takes you. So you'll get €250 if your three hour-delayed flight travels 1,500km or less (ie, London to Amsterdam), but €600 if your plane is delayed by four hours or more and travels at least 3,500km (ie, London to Sydney).

My flight has been cancelled. Will I get my money back?

If your flight is cancelled you should be offered either a refund or an alternative flight to your original destination.

For compensation you will have to look to the EU rules again, though if the delay is caused by snow – and thus an extraordinary circumstance – you might not get anything. If you are covered by EU regulations you will be entitled to travel assistance (such as help with rebooking for a later date) as well as meals and accommodation etc. Check the official EU website for more on your rights.

She is also a certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher, training with David Life and Sharon Gannon. Jacqueline has also worked with Shandor Remete and attended Teacher Training of the Shadow School.
 

This course is highly suitable for  yoga students who want to go far deeper into their own practice of yoga who have a strong desire to teach but also for students who are looking to immerse themselves in this wonderful arena of practice and study and for  reflective personal development .


The Ibiza Bija Yoga Teacher Training Intensive is a professional qualification which reflects ancient values at work in the modern world, where professionalism and the Yoga of the Sanskrit scriptures meet.

Student teachers find a special empowerment from this Course. Whether you have been practicing for many years or if you have never practised yoga before the opportunity is created for you to deepen your appreciation and develop the skills required to teach within the vibrant world of Yoga.

The combination of the skills and knowledge that will be transferred during this course make it truly life enhancing. Yet at the same time although the surroundings are very beautiful it is vitally important to understand how demanding the Course is. Self Discipline is the key to the Intensive. You will find new reserves you didn't know you had in order to successfully complete this course.

However it does equip one to teach with confidence. It may change your life. Please note this is an alcohol and drug free training.

Teaching Style

The Ibiza Bija Teacher training Intensive does not have a set style, but draws on the inspiration of Swami Sivananda and many other great gurus of recent history.

The approach is very much reliant on passing the skills for appropriate modification, safety in asanas and adaptation of postures for common (and often uncommon) medical conditions are the key features within this training.

The course is comprehensive, covering everything from how the muscles and joints work within the postures, through Pranayama, Mantra, Meditation and class management, to the main philosophical texts and how they are relevant, both to the history of Yoga and Yoga as it is practised in the West today.

During this Course you will enjoy plenty of space and warmth ideal for the practice, study and contemplation of Yoga.

 

Teaching methods are student-centred and fun; while there is plenty of theory in the syllabus, interactive teaching methods are used to keep things moving. Practical Yoga sessions, role-play, pair and group work are all employed to help you develop confidence and autonomy in exploring the topics on the timetable. The methodologies used ensure this is a cutting edge Yoga Teacher Training and is both transformational and confidence-building.
 

Sessions  will be extremely full. The key to safe Yoga teaching is understanding, and that understanding comes through experience, observation, dedication and - teaching.

We do small peer-group teaching sessions from the beginning of the course, in which we road-test how to deal practically and professionally with the situations (common and uncommon) which can arise in a Yoga class.

You are encouraged to start teaching your own class early on in this Course.
