Gaia is a streaming service focused on yoga, meditation, consciousness, alternative health, and original series. It typically offers a monthly plan around $15.99, an annual plan around $139.99, and a higher Gaia+ tier.
New members often start with a 7-day free trial that converts to paid.
Charges usually appear on the card linked to your Gaia account or the payment method used through Apple, Google, Amazon, or Roku.
Deleting the Gaia app does not cancel the subscription or stop recurring charges. This guide shows the main ways to cancel so you can stop auto-renewals.
What Is Gaia and How Billing Works
Gaia delivers ad-free videos on personal growth, yoga, meditation, and related topics. Memberships auto-renew monthly or yearly at the current rate unless you cancel.
Billing can happen directly through Gaia or through a partner platform such as the App Store, Google Play, Amazon, or Roku.
Check your bank or card statement for the exact name (often “Gaia” or similar). You can cancel at any time. Access typically continues until the end of the paid period.
Gaia also lets many members pause for 1 to 3 months instead of fully canceling.
How to Cancel from the Gaia Website
Use this path if you signed up and pay Gaia directly.
- Go to gaia.com and log in.
- Click your profile icon in the top right.
- Select My Account.
- Choose Cancel Membership and follow the on-screen prompts.
You should receive a confirmation email when it is complete. If you do not get the email, the subscription is still active. Cancel at least a couple of days before your next billing date to avoid the upcoming charge.
Canceling If Billed Through Apple or Google
If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, cancel there. Gaia cannot cancel those for you.
On iPhone or iPad
- Open Settings.
- Tap your name.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Select Gaia.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
On Android
- Open the Google Play Store.
- Tap your profile icon.
- Tap Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
- Select Gaia.
- Tap Cancel subscription and follow the prompts.
You can also manage these on a computer by signing into your Apple or Google account online.
Canceling Through Other Partners
If you joined via Amazon, Roku, or a cable provider, cancel through that platform’s subscription management page. Gaia does not control those bills. Look for the partner’s help pages for “manage subscriptions” or “cancel channel.”
What Happens After You Cancel
Once canceled successfully, no new charges should process. You keep access to content until the end of your current billing period.
Your watch history and preferences are usually saved if you return later. Gaia does not typically offer prorated refunds for unused time on monthly or annual plans. Gaia+ plans generally have no refunds.
Tips for a Smooth Cancellation
Log in and cancel a few days before the renewal date. Save the confirmation email or screenshot.
If you only need a short break, check the Pause Membership option in My Account (usually 1, 2, or 3 months). Billing stops during the pause and resumes automatically afterward unless you cancel.
Have your account email ready. If login fails, try the Forgot Password link or other emails you may have used.
Common Problems and Solutions
Some people report not receiving the confirmation email or seeing another charge. Confirm the cancellation email arrived. If it did not, return to My Account and complete the process again or contact support.
If the charge came from Apple, Google, Amazon, or Roku, cancel on that platform even if you also contact Gaia. For unexpected charges after a confirmed cancel, email info@gaia.com or use the contact form on gaia.com with your account details and confirmation.
FAQs About How to Cancel Gaia Subscription
Q: Does deleting the Gaia app cancel my subscription?
No. Deleting the app only removes it from your device. The subscription stays active and will renew until you cancel it through your Gaia account or the original billing platform.
Q: Can I get a refund after canceling?
Gaia generally does not provide refunds or credits for partial billing periods. You keep access until the end of the paid time. Contact support if you believe a charge was made in error.
Q: What if I subscribed during a free trial?
You can cancel anytime during the trial. Access continues for the full trial period, and you avoid the first paid charge if you cancel before it ends.
Q: How do I know if my cancellation worked?
Look for the confirmation email from Gaia. In your account you should also see that the membership is set to end rather than renew. Check your next statement to confirm no new charge appears.
Conclusion
Canceling your Gaia subscription is straightforward once you know whether the bill comes from Gaia directly or through Apple, Google, or another partner. Completing the steps stops the auto-renewal and prevents future recurring charges.
Cancel a few days before the next billing date, keep the confirmation, and monitor your statement. That clears the main friction points and puts you back in control of the membership.
