Cancel Daily Yoga: The Right Way

How to cancel Daily Yoga and stop auto-renewal in south africa

Understanding Daily Yoga and your subscription rights

Daily Yoga is a subscription-based wellness app that delivers guided yoga classes, meditation sessions and fitness programmes tailored to different skill levels and goals. The app operates on most mobile devices and through its web platform, with premium content locked behind paid subscription tiers.

When you purchase a Daily Yoga subscription, your access activates immediately, and charges recur automatically each billing cycle unless you actively cancel before the deadline. This means you need to take deliberate action to stop the charges, because the company will not remind you or ask for permission before charging your payment method again.

At Tocancel, we help South African consumers understand their rights and take control of their subscriptions. You have the right to cancel at any time, and you deserve a clear, straightforward process to do so.

How auto-renewal subscriptions work in south africa

Daily Yoga subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period. Your payment method on file charges without additional confirmation, which means you must initiate cancellation proactively to avoid unwanted charges.

The company's terms require you to cancel at least 24 hours before your billing date ends. If you miss this window, you will be charged for the next period, and cancelling after that point will not trigger a refund for the charge you just incurred. This timing requirement is critical to your cancellation strategy.

Why you might want to cancel Daily Yoga

You may decide to cancel Daily Yoga for several legitimate reasons: you have found a cheaper alternative, you are not using the app enough to justify the cost, your financial circumstances have changed, or you simply prefer a different yoga platform or instructor style.

Whatever your reason, you have the right to cancel without penalty or justification. The Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (CPA) protects your right to withdraw from distance contracts within a reasonable timeframe, and cancelling a digital subscription falls within those protections.

Daily Yoga pricing in south africa

Daily Yoga offers multiple subscription tiers at different price points in South African rand. Here is what you can expect to pay via the app stores and the web platform.

Prices vary slightly depending on whether you purchase through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or Daily Yoga's website directly. Always verify the current price in your app store before committing to a plan.

How to cancel Daily Yoga on your platform

Cancelling Daily Yoga is platform-specific, and your method depends on where you originally subscribed. The key timing rule is non-negotiable: you must cancel at least 24 hours before your billing date to prevent the next automatic charge.

Cancelling on apple app store (iOS)

If you subscribed to Daily Yoga via the Apple App Store, you manage cancellation through your Apple ID settings on any iOS device. This is the most direct route and takes approximately two minutes.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap your name at the top of the screen to open your Apple ID profile.
   • If you do not see your name, tap "Sign in to your iPhone" and enter your credentials first.
3. Select Subscriptions from the menu.
   • You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
4. Find Daily Yoga in the list and tap it.
   • If you do not see Daily Yoga, it may be listed under a different developer name; scroll to check.
5. Tap Cancel Subscription or Edit Subscription, then select the cancel option.
   • Apple will ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation; this is optional feedback and does not affect your cancellation.
6. Confirm the cancellation by tapping the final Confirm button.
   • You will receive an email confirmation to your Apple ID email address within moments.

After you cancel on Apple App Store, your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle, then stops automatically. You will not be charged for the next period.

Cancelling on google play (Android)

If you subscribed to Daily Yoga via Google Play, you manage cancellation through the Google Play Store app or the Google Play website. This process is similarly straightforward and takes about two minutes.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
   • Alternatively, visit play.google.com in a web browser on any device.
2. Tap the profile icon (your user photo) in the top right corner.
   • On the website, click your profile picture in the top right.
3. Select Manage subscriptions or Subscriptions from the menu.
   • You will see all active subscriptions linked to your Google account.
4. Find Daily Yoga in the list and tap it.
   • If you have multiple subscriptions, use the search function to locate Daily Yoga quickly.
5. Tap Cancel subscription.
   • Google will offer you a retention offer or ask for feedback; you can decline and proceed.
6. Confirm the cancellation by tapping Yes, cancel.
   • You will receive a confirmation email to your Google account email address.

After you cancel on Google Play, your premium access continues until the end of your current billing period, then terminates. No further charges will be applied.

Cancelling via the Daily Yoga website

If you subscribed to Daily Yoga directly through its website rather than an app store, you must cancel through your account dashboard. This method applies only if you purchased your subscription outside of Apple App Store or Google Play.

1. Visit the Daily Yoga website and log in to your account using your email and password.
   • If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" link on the login page.
2. Navigate to your Account Settings or Subscription section.
   • This is often found in a profile menu or settings gear icon.
3. Locate your active subscription and select the Cancel or Manage Subscription option.
   • You may see options to pause or downgrade; select cancel if you want to stop all charges.
4. Confirm your cancellation request and complete any final steps the system presents.
   • Daily Yoga may ask for feedback; this is optional and does not delay your cancellation.
5. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation within 24 hours.
   • If you do not receive confirmation, log back into your account to verify the cancellation was processed.

Website cancellations are processed immediately, and your subscription status will update within 24 hours. You retain access until the end of your current billing period.

Timeline and what happens after you cancel

Understanding the timeline after cancellation helps you avoid confusion and know when to expect your access to end. The process is simple but has important dates you should mark.

Your cancellation timeline

Once you cancel Daily Yoga, the following sequence occurs automatically. You do not need to take any further action.

This timeline applies regardless of whether you cancelled 24 hours before your billing date or 60 days in advance. Early cancellation does not accelerate the end of your access.

What to do after your cancellation is confirmed

After you complete your cancellation, take these simple steps to protect yourself and ensure no unexpected charges occur.

• Save your confirmation email. File the cancellation confirmation in a dedicated folder for subscription records. This is your proof of cancellation if a dispute arises.
• Check your bank or credit card statement. On your next scheduled billing date, verify that Daily Yoga did not charge your payment method. This confirms the cancellation worked.
• Monitor your account briefly. Log back into Daily Yoga within a week to confirm your subscription status shows as "Cancelled" or "Inactive."
• Delete the app if you wish. You may now uninstall Daily Yoga from your phone. Deleting it now will not affect your cancellation, which was completed earlier.

These follow-up steps take five minutes and give you complete peace of mind that your cancellation succeeded.

Refunds and your right to reclaim money

South African consumer law protects your right to request a refund in specific circumstances. Understanding when you qualify for money back is essential.

When you may be entitled to a refund

Your legal position under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 includes the right to cancel a distance contract (like a digital subscription) within 5 business days of purchase if you have not started using the service substantially. After that period, you generally have no automatic right to a refund, even if you cancel.

However, you may still claim a refund if Daily Yoga fails to deliver the service as promised, if the app is non-functional, or if you were charged in error. These are separate from voluntary cancellation.

If Daily Yoga refuses a refund you believe you are entitled to, you have the right to escalate your complaint to the National Consumer Commission (NCC) at [email protected] or via their website at www.thencc.org.za.

How to request a refund from Daily Yoga

If you meet one of the refund criteria above, contact Daily Yoga directly and clearly state your reason. Use email so you have a record of your request.

1. Locate Daily Yoga's support email address in your confirmation email or on their website.
2. Write a clear, polite email stating:
   • Your account email address
   • The date you purchased the subscription
   • The reason you are requesting a refund (e.g., "I cancelled within 5 days of purchase without using the service")
   • Your payment method and the amount charged
   • A copy of your purchase receipt or confirmation email
3. Send the email and keep a copy for your records.
4. Daily Yoga typically responds within 7 to 10 business days. If they refuse, note their reason and save their response.

If Daily Yoga refuses to refund you and you believe you have a valid claim, file a complaint with the National Consumer Commission at no cost to you.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling

Many South African consumers accidentally delay or botch their cancellation because they do not know the pitfalls. Recognise these traps now and sidestep them completely.

Mistake one: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription

This is the most common error. Deleting Daily Yoga from your phone does not cancel your subscription or stop automatic charges. The app and your billing are entirely separate systems. You can delete the app tomorrow and still be charged next month if you do not cancel the subscription itself through the app store or website.

Cancel the subscription first through Apple App Store, Google Play, or the Daily Yoga website. Only then should you delete the app if you wish.

Mistake two: missing the 24-hour cancellation deadline

Daily Yoga charges you automatically if you do not cancel within 24 hours of your billing date. If your subscription renews on the 15th of the month, you must cancel by the 14th. If you cancel on the 15th or later, you will be charged for another month, and that charge will not be refunded simply because you cancelled immediately after.

Mark your billing date on your calendar or phone and set a reminder 48 hours before it. Tocancel recommends cancelling at least two weeks in advance to give yourself a buffer and avoid rush-hour mistakes.

Mistake three: assuming a free trial automatically converts to paid

If you started with a free trial, Daily Yoga will charge your payment method when the trial ends unless you cancel before that date. Do not assume the trial will simply lapse or that you have received a warning email you might have missed. Proactively cancel the subscription before the trial end date to prevent an unexpected charge.

Mistake four: not checking your confirmation email

After you cancel, Daily Yoga sends a confirmation email. Many users delete it or do not read it carefully. That email contains essential details: your cancellation date, when your access ends, and the support contact if something goes wrong. Save and file this email for at least 12 months.

Your consumer rights under south african law

As a consumer in South Africa, you have explicit legal rights when you cancel a subscription service. The Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (CPA) is your primary protection.

Key rights you have

The CPA grants you the right to cancel a distance contract (any contract formed without face-to-face negotiation, including digital subscriptions) within 5 business days of entering into it, provided you have not substantially used the service. This is known as your "right of withdrawal."

After the 5-day window closes, you retain the right to cancel at any time, but the company has no obligation to refund you. However, the service must still be delivered as promised, and you can cancel immediately if the company breaches its obligations or misrepresents the service.

You also have the right to clear, accessible information about how to cancel before you purchase. If Daily Yoga does not clearly disclose the cancellation method at the point of sale, this may constitute a breach of the CPA, and you may have grounds to claim a refund even after the 5-day period.

What to do if Daily Yoga refuses to cancel or refund

If Daily Yoga ignores your cancellation request or refuses to stop charging you after you have cancelled, you have escalation options. Your legal position is strong if you can prove you attempted to cancel in good faith.

1. Document everything. Save emails, screenshots of your cancellation confirmation, and bank statements showing the charges. Collect all proof in one file.
2. Send a final demand letter. Email Daily Yoga a formal request (or post by registered mail if you have an address) stating that you cancelled your subscription on [date], that you should not be charged again, and that you expect a response within 7 business days.
3. File a complaint with the National Consumer Commission (NCC). Visit www.thencc.org.za or email [email protected]. Include all your documentation. The NCC investigates complaints at no cost to you and can order Daily Yoga to refund you or stop the charges.
4. Contact your bank or credit card provider. If Daily Yoga continues to charge you after cancellation, your bank can dispute the charges on your behalf through a chargeback process. Provide your bank with your cancellation confirmation and the proof of unwanted charges.

The National Consumer Commission is your free, powerful ally if Daily Yoga refuses to respect your cancellation rights. Do not hesitate to use it.

Common questions about cancelling Daily Yoga

Can i get a pro-rata refund if i cancel mid-cycle?

No. Daily Yoga does not offer pro-rata refunds for mid-cycle cancellations. You retain access until the end of your paid period, and no money is returned for unused time. If you cancel on day 1 of a 30-day cycle, you still have 29 days of access, but no refund is issued. This is standard practice for digital subscriptions, though you should always verify it in the app store terms at the point of purchase.

Will i lose my saved routines and progress if i cancel?

Most digital fitness apps, including Daily Yoga, allow you to reactivate your account later without losing your saved data. However, this is not guaranteed. Before you cancel, consider downloading or screenshotting any routines, notes, or progress data you wish to keep offline. After you cancel, you may lose access to your profile if the company deletes inactive accounts after a certain period (often 12 months of inactivity).

Can i pause my subscription instead of cancelling?

Some subscription services offer a pause or freeze option that temporarily halts billing without cancelling your account. Check the Daily Yoga app or website to see if this option is available to you. It is a useful middle ground if you want to take a break without losing your account data or cancelling permanently. If a pause option exists, it will appear alongside the cancel button in your subscription settings.

What if i subscribed through a third-party website or retailer?

If you purchased your Daily Yoga subscription through a third-party seller (not Apple App Store, Google Play, or Daily Yoga's own website), contact that retailer's support team to cancel. They manage the billing on their end. If that retailer is unresponsive, you can still dispute the charge through your bank or credit card provider.

Alternatives to Daily Yoga in south africa

If you are cancelling Daily Yoga because you want to explore other options, several reputable yoga and fitness apps operate in South Africa at different price points.

Before you commit to a new subscription, test it with its free trial (most apps offer 7 to 30 days). This prevents you from moving from one unsuitable service to another. Tocancel recommends treating free trials as an opportunity to confirm the app genuinely works for you before any payment is authorised.

Checklist for your cancellation

Use this checklist to confirm you have completed every step and avoided common pitfalls.

• Step 1: Identify your platform. Did I subscribe via Apple App Store, Google Play, or Daily Yoga's website? (Write it down.)
• Step 2: Know your billing date. When does my subscription renew each month? (Mark it on your calendar.)
• Step 3: Cancel within the deadline. Have I cancelled at least 24 hours before my next billing date?
• Step 4: Confirm cancellation. Did I receive a confirmation email from the app store or Daily Yoga within 24 hours?
• Step 5: Save proof. Have I downloaded and filed my cancellation confirmation email?
• Step 6: Verify no charge. On my next billing date, did my bank or credit card fail to show a Daily Yoga charge?
• Step 7: Check your account. When I log back into Daily Yoga, does it show my subscription as "Cancelled" or "Inactive"?
• Step 8: Delete the app (optional). If I no longer want the app on my phone, have I now uninstalled it?

Complete this checklist within one week of cancellation to confirm your cancellation succeeded.

Why consumers choose to cancel Daily Yoga

Understanding why others cancel helps you decide if cancellation is right for you. Real reasons South African users have cited include the following.

• Cost. Many find monthly fees (R174.99 - R299.99) add up quickly when combined with other subscriptions. If your budget has tightened, cancelling frees up cash for essentials.
• Low usage. If you downloaded the app and have not opened it in months, you are paying for content you do not consume. Cancellation eliminates wasted spending.
• Preference for in-person. Some users prefer live classes at a gym or studio, where they can interact with an instructor and other participants. Digital-only platforms do not suit everyone.
• Better alternatives. You may have found another app with classes you prefer, instructors you like more, or features that suit your goals better.
• Life changes. If you have taken on new work commitments, moved house, or experienced a change in circumstances, your fitness priorities may have shifted.
• Technical issues. Some users report that the app crashes, has poor video quality, or does not sync progress across devices. If the service is not working as advertised, cancellation is justified.

Whatever your reason, it is valid. You do not need to justify a cancellation to anyone. Tocancel supports your right to control your own spending and subscriptions.

If you have cancelled Daily Yoga and believe you have grounds for a refund under the Consumer Protection Act, file a complaint with the National Consumer Commission at [email protected] or visit www.thencc.org.za.
