For your SOSA brand, I would also recommend creating four additional policies before launch:
Coaching Agreement (defines the coaching relationship and expectations)
Community Guidelines (for cohort calls, forums, and workshops)
Refund & Cancellation Policy (separate from the Terms for clarity)
Informed Consent & Wellness Waiver (especially important since you incorporate yoga, breathwork, mindfulness, and somatic practices)
These will help create clear expectations and provide additional protection as your business grows.
