Mindful Bali Code of Conduct

​

This training is a sacred space for deep learning, self-inquiry, and transformation. As part of this intentional community, I commit to the following values to support the integrity of the group and my own personal growth:

1. Respecting the Space

• I treat teachers, staff, and fellow students with kindness, presence, and respect.

• I care for the physical space, honoring the land, venue, and those who support our time here.

• I contribute to a sober, grounded environment that supports clarity, healing, and spiritual connection. This includes maintaining an alcohol and drug-free environment, respecting others’ privacy, and avoiding behaviors that could jeopardize the safety or sobriety of others.
   

2. Conscious Communication

• I communicate clearly, respectfully, and from the heart.

• I take ownership of my words and actions, practicing honesty, humility, and curiosity in all interactions.

• I bring concerns directly and privately to a teacher in a calm and respectful way.

• I support harmony in the group by practicing active listening, compassionate presence, and mutual understanding. I will not engage in gossiping, manipulation or passive aggression.

• I understand that consistent disrespect or disruptive behavior may result in my removal from the program without a refund.
   

3. Responsibility & Clarity

• I honor the group flow by arriving on time, prepared, and attentive for each session. I am aware that 100% attendance of classes is required to receive a 200 Hour Certificate from the Yoga Alliance. In the case of sickness, we will send you a video which you can complete afterwards.

• I stay informed, ask questions when needed, and take personal responsibility for my experience.
   

4. Energetic Integrity

• I recognize that this training may stir emotions and growth edges, and I meet these with self-awareness and compassion. I utilize self regulation tools (particularly meditation) when I need to regulate after an interaction.

• I care for my nervous system with breaks, reflection, and appropriate support when needed.

• I honor group dynamics by sharing space equally, allowing all voices to be heard, and contributing to a balanced container.

• I avoid using my phone during classes and meal times and use my device when in my own room, in order to keep the space as much of a technology detox as possible for the community.
   

5. Commitment to the Container

• I commit to co-creating a safe and sacred space with others.

• I trust the teachers to hold the integrity of the training, including making decisions that protect the wellbeing of the group.

• I understand that if my actions are out of alignment with this agreement, I may be removed from the program without a refund.

Trauma-Informed Participation & Content Disclaimer 

Participant Name: _________________________

Yoga teacher training is often a journey of deep self-inquiry and personal transformation. As such, it may prompt emotional responses and personal reflections related to one’s past experiences, identity, and healing process. In addition, some of our training modules include content specifically related to trauma-informed teaching, mental health, addiction, and related topics.

   You understand that participation in this program may expose you to sensitive themes, including but not limited to trauma, addiction, grief, and personal recovery journeys. You acknowledge that emotional responses to such content are a natural part of the self-discovery process and do not constitute harm or misconduct by the facilitator or other participants.

3. Voluntary Participation
   Participation in all discussions and exercises related to trauma or anything that could be triggering is voluntary. You may choose to step away from specific content, discussions, or practices at any time, provided that your decision does not compromise your ability to fulfill the training’s certification requirements. If a specific activity is triggering for you and is a requirement of course completion, please have a private discussion with the teachers.

4. Respect for Lived Experience
   You acknowledge that the trainers, team and fellow participants may share personal experiences as part of the learning process. These stories are shared in service of education, healing, and community connection. You agree to receive such sharing with respect and without judgment, projection, or unsolicited advice.
