Ethical guidelines:
The organization Rishikesh Yog Peeth inherits the ancient approach of
yoga to inculcate and infuse the wisdom of yoga in each and every
student of Yog Peeth. To see this vision in to practice the whole
design of teaching and learning is framed in such a way that ethical
sense becomes inevitable for all the members of Yog Peeth.
At the Yog Peeth the very beginning of the day starts with the ancient
code of conduct prescribed in the name of Dincharya (the daily
regimen). Every day activities are arranged in the light of Ritucharya
(seasonal code of conduct). Moreover, every step of behavior of the
individual is visualized under the concept of Achar-rasayan (behavioral
chemistry).
We see the whole spectrum of Yama (rules, how to act in the society)
and Niyama (personal code and conducts) prescribed by Mahrishi
Patanjali need to be seen into practical, day to day behavioral
terminology. If not hundred percent, at least whatever feasible that
should be practiced sincerely and honestly. We feel this sense of
transparency in the behavior of an individual is essential to be in the
path of Yoga.
Code of conducts:
Routine of the course should be
strictly followed. Discipline is an integral part of this training
program. Disrespect may render the student to lose his/her studentship
and in such case no fees would be refunded.
Absence from any activity of the scheduled program is a gross breach of
discipline. Under inevitable circumstances, a student should obtain permission
in advance from the teacher concerned/the respective Manager
accordingly.
If a specific meal is to be avoided, it should be informed to the
person concerned in good time, so that no food may
be wasted.
Guests of the students will have to make their own arrangements.
During the course, any kind of extra-ordinary activities, not related
to the course, will not be permitted.
No student would be allowed to enter in to the hall, once the class
starts.
All the library books and other dues, if any, must be settled before
leaving the place.
Smoking and drinking alcohol are strictly
prohibited.
Refund policy:
It is advised that before submitting an application to a teacher
training program, we strongly encourage applicants to consider the time
and resource investments required on the path to becoming a yoga
teacher.
The specified deposit is due with the application, and is
non-refundable, but incase of any change in program, one can choose to
go for any next scheduled course within the span of a year.
We understand that emergencies and other life situations do arise. We
recommend that you carefully review your schedule and upcoming
obligations to ensure that you can commit fully to teacher training.
N.B.:
The system of the traditional teaching some time may differ from the
west. Therefore students are advised to make their mind before they
apply or get registered. Even some time the fundamental understanding
of yogic path may differ from yoga schools in the west.
Those, who are just expecting some of the modified versions of physical
exercises in the name of Yoga, then Rishikesh Yog Peeth may not be a
right place. One should apply only if he/she is willing to follow the
strict yogic rules and regulations of the Peeth.
