- Photos / video: You must ask permission from teachers and other trainees before taking photos/videos and /or sharing anything on social media
- Studio etiquette: Please ensure you leave the studio clean and tidy after your training has ended and during breaks. Remove all rubbish, place props/mats back as they were and clean any mugs/glasses.
- Illness procedure: Should you experience illness that prevents you from training, please contact the studio as soon as possible. We will inform the teacher and arrange a suitable time for hours to be made up, or send appropriate homework for you to complete.

In cases of absence related to COVID-19 we will give you options to catch up, either by joining virtually if you are well enough to do so, or completing further assignments with your mentor

In this instance we will be unable to give you a certificate of graduation from the training. Please note your course fees are still due unless an exemption applies. If you feel for any reason unable to continue with the course you should e-mail YTT@yogarise.london as soon as possible.
