Essence: We prioritize safety, respect, integrity, and a calm learning environment. By participating with us, you accept this Code of Conduct.
1) Basic principles (legal, ethical, and yogic)

We expect behavior that is in line with applicable laws, good ethics, and yogic core values. You are responsible for your own behavior, your choices, and your safety in practice.

  • Respect: Speak and act respectfully — even when you disagree.
  • 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 if 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 behavior. This applies in the studio, at events, in training courses, in online forums, on social media, and in direct messages.

Not acceptable (examples)

  • Unwanted sexual attention, comments, or touching.
  • Threats, insults, humiliation, aggressive tone, stalking.
  • Discrimination based on gender, age, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, disability, or similar factors.
  • Pressuring others to share personal information or cross boundaries.
  • Creating insecurity in the room (repeated disturbances, angry outbursts, disrespectful behavior).
Boundaries: “No” is a complete sentence. Respect for personal boundaries is non-negotiable.
3) Safety in practice (body, teaching, adjustments, minors)

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

For participants

  • Listen to your body: Do not push through pain. Stop if you feel dizzy, experience sharp pain, or feel uncomfortable.
  • Inform your instructor: Pregnancy, injuries, illness, or if you need special consideration.
  • No intoxication: You may not participate under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Quiet in the room: Cell phones on silent. No loud talking during class.

Hands-on / physical adjustments (default)

In some classes and educational formats, the instructor may use hands-on adjustments as part of the teaching. Our standard policy is that hands-on adjustments 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 immediately.
  • Communicate clearly: Say, for example, "No hands-on" or "Please no adjustments."
Opt-out (recommended): If you do not want to participate hands-on, please clearly inform the instructor before the class starts. We can also implement a simple "opt-out" system (e.g., a discreet card/marking on the mat) if you wish to do so in all classes.

Participants under the age of 18 (minors)

Participants under the age of 18 are welcome only when the following conditions are met:

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

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

  • Personal hygiene: Show up clean and wearing appropriate clothing for the practice.
  • Equipment: Use equipment correctly and return it in good condition after use.
  • Waste: Dispose of waste properly. Respect for common areas.
  • Damage: Report immediately if anything breaks or dangerous conditions arise.
Practical information: We may refuse entry if anyone arrives in a manner that causes unease, poor hygiene, or disruption in the room.
5) Education, courses, and learning environment (integrity)

In education and training, we expect a professional learning environment. This means mature communication, cooperation, and high integrity.

Academic and professional integrity

  • No plagiarism: Do not use other people's material without permission/credit.
  • No sharing: Do not share manuals, PDFs, or teaching materials.
  • No recording: Students are not permitted to record lectures (audio/video) or take photographs of materials.
  • Respect: Feedback is given professionally. No shaming or belittling.

Professional boundaries

Teachers and students must maintain clear professional boundaries. Flirting, pressure, or "favoritism" have no place in an educational setting.

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

Online behavior should reflect the same standards as in the studio. This applies to comments, DMs, groups, emails, and platforms.

  • No harassment: No offensive language, shaming, spam, or threats.
  • No doxxing: Do not share other people's private information.
  • No unauthorized 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 termination of access.
7) Recordings, photos, IP, and use of material

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

For participants and students

  • No recordings: You may not record classes/courses/training or take photos of 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 from Yoga Bible

As described in our terms and conditions/privacy policy, recordings may be made during classes and events, and the material may be used for teaching and marketing purposes, unless otherwise agreed. If you do not wish to participate, please notify us in advance—we will try to accommodate you (however, this cannot be guaranteed in all group formats).

Photography (Yoga Photography): Images are delivered as agreed. The right of use is subject to the agreement. Unauthorized resale/distribution of raw files or misleading crediting is not accepted.
8) Cooperation, careers, confidentiality, and non-solicitation

High professional standards apply to teachers, employees, freelancers, and partners. Contracts and NDAs may contain additional requirements—and take precedence in the event of a conflict.

Confidentiality (strict)

  • Customer lists, internal systems, teaching designs, prices, strategy, processes, and materials are confidential.
  • Confidentiality shall also apply after the termination of the cooperation.

Non-solicitation and “no poaching”

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

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

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

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

  • What would you like us to do?

10) Consequences of breach

Violations of this Code of Conduct may have consequences. We always assess each case objectively and proportionately.

Possible measures

  • Guidance and clear warning
  • Temporary suspension or restriction of access
  • Immediate expulsion from session/training
  • Closing access to digital platforms
  • Denial of access if minors' requirements (consent/presence) are not met
  • Termination of cooperation/contract (for instructors/partners)
  • Report to the police or contact the relevant authorities in serious cases
Refund: Refunds are handled in accordance with our terms and conditions and applicable mandatory law. In the event of a serious violation, participation may be terminated without refund.

Thank you for contributing to a strong and safe environment.

Yoga is not just about practice — it is also about how we interact with each other. If you have any questions about this Code of Conduct, please feel free to contact us.
