1) Core principles (legal, ethical, and yogic)

We expect conduct in accordance with applicable law, good ethics, and yogic core values. You are responsible for your own behaviour, your choices, and your safety in practice.

  • Respect: Speak and act respectfully — even in disagreement.
  • Safety: No harassment, bullying, discrimination, or intimidation.
  • Integrity: Be honest. No cheating, manipulation, or abuse of trust.
  • Responsibility: Listen to your body. Follow instructions. Ask when in doubt.
  • Privacy: Protect other people's privacy and data.
2) Respect, inclusion, and safety (anti-harassment)

Yoga Bible is an inclusive space. We do not accept any form of harassment, discrimination, or offensive behaviour. This applies in the studio, at events, in training programmes, in online forums, on social media, and in direct messages.

Not acceptable (examples)

  • Unwanted sexual attention, comments, or touch.
  • Threats, ridicule, humiliation, aggressive tone, stalking.
  • Discrimination based on gender, age, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, disability, or similar.
  • Pressuring others to share personal information or cross boundaries.
  • Creating an unsafe environment (repeated disruptions, angry outbursts, disrespectful behaviour).
Boundaries: "No" is a complete sentence. Respect for personal boundaries is non-negotiable.
3) Safety in practice (body, teaching, adjustments, minors)

Yoga and physical training involve risk of injury. You participate at your own risk and are expected to practise responsibly. If you are unsure what is safe for you, seek professional advice (e.g. doctor/physiotherapist) and inform us.

For participants

  • Listen to your body: Do not push into pain. Stop if you feel dizziness, sharp pain, or discomfort.
  • Inform the teacher: Pregnancy, injuries, illness, or if you need special accommodations.
  • No intoxication: You may not participate under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Quiet in the room: Phone on silent. No loud talking during class.

Hands-on / physical adjustments (default)

In some classes and training formats, the teacher may use hands-on adjustments as part of the teaching. Our default is that hands-on may occur — but you can always opt out.

  • You can say no at any time: Before, during, and after an adjustment.
  • Respect is immediate: When you say no, the adjustment stops right away.
  • Communicate clearly: Say e.g. "No hands-on" or "Please no adjustments".
Opt-out (recommended): If you do not want hands-on, please clearly inform the teacher before class starts. We can also implement a simple opt-out system (e.g. a discreet card/marker by your mat) if you want it for all classes.

Participants under 18 (minors)

Participants under 18 are welcome only when the following is met:

  • Written consent: Parent/guardian provides consent.
  • Parent/guardian is present: During participation (guardian's choice and responsibility).
  • Responsibility: The guardian is responsible for behaviour, safety, and communication of special needs.
  • We may deny access: If consent/presence cannot be documented, or if the situation is deemed unsuitable.
4) Hygiene, tidiness, and respect for facilities

A clean studio is part of the quality. We expect everyone to contribute to a proper environment.

  • Personal hygiene: Arrive clean and in appropriate clothing for practice.
  • Equipment: Use equipment correctly and return it neatly after use.
  • Waste: Dispose of rubbish. Respect shared areas.
  • Damage: Report immediately if something breaks or hazardous conditions arise.
Practical: We may deny access if someone arrives in a way that creates insecurity, poor hygiene, or disturbance in the space.
5) Training, courses, and learning environment (integrity)

In training programmes and courses, we expect a professional learning environment. This means mature communication, collaboration, and high integrity.

Academic and professional integrity

  • No plagiarism: Do not use others' material without permission/credit.
  • No sharing: Do not share manuals, PDFs, or teaching materials.
  • No recording: Students may not record teaching (audio/video) or photograph materials.
  • Respect: Feedback is given professionally. No shaming or belittling.

Professional boundaries

Teachers and students must maintain clear professional boundaries. Flirting, pressure, or "favouritism" has no place in a training environment.

6) Online conduct (communication, community, social media)

Online conduct must reflect the same standard as in the studio. This applies to comments, DMs, groups, emails, and platforms.

  • No harassment: No aggressive tone, shaming, spam, or threats.
  • No doxxing: Do not share others' private information.
  • No unauthorised sharing: Do not share links, logins, recordings, or teaching materials.
  • Respect for the brand: If you represent Yoga Bible as a teacher/partner, we expect professional communication.
Namaste Online: Live sessions may not be recorded or re-uploaded. Violations may result in immediate revocation of access.
7) Recordings, photos, IP, and use of material

Yoga Bible protects our material, participants, and teachers. All content (manuals, PDFs, methods, video, audio, images, texts) is protected by copyright or licence.

For participants and students

  • No recordings: You may not record classes/courses/training or photograph materials.
  • No sharing: You may not share, copy, or distribute our material.
  • No commercial use: You may not use our material for commercial purposes without written permission.

Recordings by Yoga Bible

As described in our terms/privacy policy, recordings may occur during classes and events, and the material may be used for teaching and marketing, unless otherwise agreed. If you do not wish to be included, please inform us in advance — and we will try to accommodate (though no guarantee in all group formats).

Photography (Yoga Photography): Images are delivered by agreement. Usage rights follow the agreement. Unauthorised resale/delivery of raw files or misleading credit is not accepted.
8) Collaboration, careers, confidentiality, and non-solicit

For teachers, staff, freelancers, and collaborators, a high professional standard applies. Contracts and NDAs may contain additional requirements — and take precedence in case of conflict.

Confidentiality (strict)

  • Client lists, internal systems, teaching design, pricing, strategy, processes, and materials are confidential.
  • Confidentiality also applies after the collaboration ends.

Non-solicit and "no poaching"

We do not accept "student poaching" or redirection of clients/students away from Yoga Bible. As standard, we expect respect for a 24-month non-solicit period for individuals who have gained access to our clients through the collaboration. (Specific enforcement and precise scope are set out in the contract.)

Professional integrity: If you wish to collaborate, expand your role, or offer new services to our clients, it goes through Yoga Bible — with a written agreement.
9) Reporting concerns (safety, ethics, conduct)

If something feels wrong, say so. We take all reports seriously and handle them professionally and discreetly.

How to report

  • Email: info@yogabible.dk
  • Phone: +45 53 88 12 09
  • In the studio: Tell a teacher or front desk (if available) — and follow up by email if you want written documentation.

What we need

  • What happened, when, and where?
  • Who was involved?
  • Any screenshots, images, or other documentation (if relevant and lawful)
  • What do you want us to do?
Emergency: In case of immediate danger, call 112.
10) Consequences for violations

Violations of this Code of Conduct may have consequences. We always assess objectively and proportionally.

Possible measures

  • Guidance and clear warning
  • Temporary pause or restriction of access
  • Immediate removal from session/training
  • Revocation of access to digital platforms
  • Denial of access if minors requirements (consent/presence) are not met
  • Termination of collaboration/contract (for teachers/partners)
  • Police report or contact with relevant authorities for serious matters
Refund: Refunds are handled in accordance with our terms and conditions and applicable mandatory law. In cases of serious violation, participation may be stopped without refund.

Thank you for contributing to a strong and safe environment
