7. Code of Conduct and Legal Agreement

Our code of conduct is a declaration of acceptable ethical and professional behavior by which all registrants agree to

conduct the teaching and business of yoga. It is not intended to supersede the ethics of any school or tradition but is

intended to be a basis for yoga principles. As a RYT, E-RYT or representative of a RYS, I agree to uphold the

following ethical principles:

Conduct myself in a professional and conscientious manner. Acknowledge the limitations of my 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 by respecting all students regardless of age, physical limitations, race, creed, gender, ethnicity,

religion or sexual orientation.

Respect the rights, dignity and privacy of all students.

Avoid words and actions that constitute sexual harassment.

Adhere to the traditional yoga principles as written in the Yamas and Niyamas.

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

As Director of Teacher Training, I understand that my school is granted by Yoga Alliance for one year the limited non-exclusive use of a level-specific registration mark and the appropriate initials after the school name (together referred to

as "Registry Mark"), which indicates to the public that I meet the Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School minimum

standards. Yoga Alliance retains the right to review my credentials or those of my faculty, or to request updated

information at anytime. Yoga Alliance may revoke the school's right to use the Registry Mark for cause, including ceasing

to meet one or more of the requirements for registration as a RYS, or failure to uphold the standards set forth in the Yoga

Alliance Code of Conduct.

I hereby state that all information provided in connection with this application is true to the best of my knowledge. I

hereby agree to meet the conditions set forth above for use of the Registry Mark and to be listed as a Registered Yoga

School (RYS). I understand that falsifying information in connection with this application will result in revocation of these

privileges. I agree to meet all conditions imposed by Yoga Alliance in order to maintain these privileges.
