CODE OF CONDUCT

Acceptance of the Teacher and the Technique

Students must declare themselves willing to comply fully and for the duration of the course with the teachers guidance and instructions; that is, to observe the discipline and to practice exactly as the teacher asks, without ignoring any part of the instructions, nor adding anything to them. This acceptance should be one of discrimination and understanding, not blind submission. Only with an attitude of trust can a student work diligently and thoroughly. Such confidence in the teacher and the technique is essential for success of the course however every individual has absolute right to interrogate in a positive manner with the view to know the details, how and why which help not only the students but also the teachers because we all are evolving and learning
Yoga Bhawna Mission code of conduct is a declaration of acceptable ethical and professional behavior by which all participant students (TTC regular course student and Yoga Retreat participant) agree to the code of conduct.
This course is intensive and requires sound physical and mental health. For any questions, please contact info@yogabhawnamission.com

All participants are required to see after his or her own health during the course, including any required medication, doctor’s visits, hospital stays, etc. Our school in no way provides medical assistance at any time during the course however we can help them reaching to the hospitals, prescribing them medical services and other medical available assistance at their own cost.

Serious Mental Disorders

People with serious mental disorders have occasionally come to our courses with the unrealistic expectation that the technique of Yoga and meditation will cure or alleviate their mental problems. Unstable interpersonal relationships and a history of various treatments can be additional factors which make it difficult for such people to benefit from, or even complete in during our course tenure. Our capacity as a nonprofessional, volunteer organization makes it impossible for us to properly care for people with these backgrounds. Although practice of Yoga and meditation is beneficial for most people, it is not a substitute for medical or psychiatric treatment and we do not recommend it for people with serious psychiatric disorders.
