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 Rishikesh 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.

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 for our yoga teacher training program. Even some time the fundamental understanding of yogic path may differ from what is taught in 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.


 
Code Of Conduct
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.

We understand that emergencies and other life situations do arise.
