Please read this Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Group Policy before your introductory call, so that nothing in it comes as a surprise. You will be asked to accept it at step 4 of registration.

​

Registration, Payment and Attendance

The program consists of 10 weekly meetings on the agreed day and time.

Before registration is confirmed, each participant completes a health and intake form and has a short introductory call with the teacher.

Once participation is confirmed, the full program fee of is paid in advance.

Registration is for the complete 10-week program. Once the program has begun, payment is non-refundable, regardless of the number of meetings attended. Missed meetings cannot be refunded or deducted from the program fee.

Participants are asked to attend regularly. If you need to miss a meeting, please inform the teacher in advance whenever possible.

​

Privacy and Confidentiality

All participants agree to protect the privacy of the other group members. Personal information shared during the meetings, as well as information about another person's participation in the group, must remain confidential.

If you meet another participant outside the group:

• Do not identify them to others as a member of the group.

• Do not discuss their participation or anything they shared.

• Allow them to decide whether they wish to acknowledge or speak about the group.

• Respect that they may prefer not to engage or discuss the group in a public setting.

Information shared privately with the teacher will be treated confidentially, except when disclosure is required by law or there is an immediate concern for someone's safety.

​

Your Practice, Your Choice

You are invited to listen to your body and choose what is appropriate for you. At any time, you may modify a posture or movement, rest or pause, keep your eyes open, change your position, move in a different way, or choose not to participate in a particular exercise.

There is no expectation to push through physical or emotional discomfort. You do not need to explain or justify your choices.

​

Personal Space and Physical Contact

Each participant practices within their own space and on their own mat. Participants do not touch, adjust, correct or physically guide one another. One teacher guides the group.

The teacher will not make unexpected physical contact. Any physical contact will take place only after a clear explanation and with your explicit consent.

​

Personal Sharing

You are not required to share your personal history, traumatic experiences, feelings or reasons for joining the group. Any personal sharing is optional. You may participate fully in the program without speaking about what happened to you.

​

If Something Feels Too Much

Movement and body awareness can sometimes bring up strong physical sensations or emotions. If something feels uncomfortable or overwhelming, you may pause or rest, change your position, choose a different movement, stop participating in an exercise, move to another part of the room, or step outside for a while.

You may return to the practice if and when you choose. If you would like support, you may let the teacher know.

​

Respect for the Group

This is a trauma-sensitive yoga group, not group psychotherapy. Participants are not expected to advise, diagnose, treat or take responsibility for one another. Please respect each person's boundaries, choices and individual experience.

Discriminatory, threatening, aggressive or disrespectful behaviour towards another participant or the teacher is not acceptable.

​

Photography and Recording

Photography and video or audio recording are not permitted during group meetings. This protects the privacy of everyone participating in the group.
