YOGA TEACHER TRAINING Terms & Conditions

200 HOURS YOGA ALLIANCE CERTIFICATION | 50 HOURS YOGA ALLIANCE CERTIFICATION

VAYU YOGA Yoga teacher training certification is orchestrated to fulfil the requirements necessary to become a Yoga Alliance (RYT) Registered Yoga Teacher, or qualify for 50 Hours further education. To graduate the course, students must complete all of the programme curriculum that the training assigns. This will include class participation, exams, written assignments, homework, attendance and timely completion of all assignments. Students are required to make up all class hours missed, whether they are planned or unexpected by making arrangements with the facilitator.

STUDENT CONDUCT:

We are committed to holding high ethical standards for our yoga teachers. The primary goal of our code of conduct is the welfare and protection of our students, teachers, yoga community, and the public. It articulates the ethical standards that our teachers must follow. The Code of Conduct is intended to elevate the professionalism and integrity of our yoga teachers by adopting uniform standards for behaviour yet recognising the diversity of the many traditions of the teaching and practice of yoga.

  • To ensure safe and effective teaching is available to the public.

  • To provide the public with access to safe and effective yoga teachers.

  • Uphold the integrity of the yoga vocation by conducting yourself professionally and conscientiously.

  • Acknowledge the limitations of your skills and scope of practice and where appropriate, refer students to seek alternative instruction, advice, treatment or direction.

  • Create and maintain a safe, clean and comfortable environment for the practice of yoga.

  • Encourage diversity actively by respecting all students regardless of age, physical limitations, race, creed, gender, ethnicity, religious affiliation, or sexual orientation.

  • Respect the rights, dignity and privacy of all students.

  • Avoid words and actions that constitute sexual harassment.

  • Follow all local government and national laws that pertain to your yoga teaching and business.

LEAVES OF ABSENCE:

Due to medical disability or exceptional circumstances, as advised and reviewed by a medical professional, a leave of absence will be granted. In this event, the student will have the opportunity to join the next available training from the point they left due to their medical issue. Please bear in mind, that it may be applicable for students to pay the difference for this future training. Each circumstance is reviewed individually.

ATTENDANCE:

One hundred per cent attendance is required, missed hours will have to be made up before the end of the programme to certify the course. Or you will have to opportunity to complete the course on another later training, or though private 1:2:1 sessions with your course leader at an additional cost.

All classes will start on time, students are expected to be present and ready to participate at the appointed starting time. Students will not be allowed to join the session if they arrive late. Students who need to make up hours will be expected to pay a fee to join another course or to cover extra facilitation hours. If a student misses more than 3 days of training and the lead trainer has not permitted this absence, they will need to join another course to complete their 200hr certification. Students are expected to notify the course leader they intend to withdraw from the programme. Any student who fails to attend a session without communication will be initially contacted and assumed withdrawn if this is unsuccessful. Cancellation of classes due to unforeseen circumstances may occur and additional dates will be added near the end of the programme if a cancellation is necessary.

STUDENT FEEDBACK AND COMPLAINTS:

We welcome feedback as we know that any feedback helps to improve not only us as individual facilitators but as a team and training programme. Complaints may be presented to the facilitators, at which time they will do their best to come to a solution that supports both sides.

REFUNDS:

  • The application fee is non-refundable

  • In the event of unexpected medical circumstances, as advised and reviewed by a medical professional, students will be allowed to transfer onto a future VAYU Yoga course.

  • Early bird must be paid in full by the required payment deadline.

  • Where payment plans have been set up and agreed, the full balance must be paid by the agreed deadlines in order to receive certification.
