Fees for tuition and accommodation are calculated separately.
Tuition + Accommodation + HST = Total Fee.
The Salt Spring Centre of Yoga is built on the foundation of karma yoga or selfless service. Because of the many volunteer hours contributed by faculty and support staff who are dedicated to passing on the teachings of yoga, we are able to offer fees that are significantly lower than those offered elsewhere in Canada, while offering a program that is second to none. Combined fees for tuition, camping, organic meals and snacks are less than the cost of tuition alone at some city studios.

Notes:

(2) Earplugs are recommended for all shared sleeping quarters. Shared accommodation is not suitable for those individuals who are “light sleepers” (easily disturbed by others’ noise) or “audible sleepers” (those whose sleeping habits may disturb others such as snoring, chronic coughing, etc.) Instead, we recommend either a private room or the tenting option.
(3) We are able to accommodate some food allergies. Information and individual requests must be clearly stated on the application form.
(4) All fees are shown in Canadian funds
