School Disciplines/Rules
Rishikesh Yog Dham mentioned some rules that are most commonly violated. Students are expected to follow rules and disciplines during the course. Complete school rules are mentioned on their official website.
- No alcohol, drugs, or any addictive substance is allowed during the course. This applies no matter inside or outside of school premises, including during any extra nights before or after the course if students are staying at their accommodation. Any alcohol/drug consumption will lead to being asked to leave without certification.
- No smoking of any kind, including e-cigarettes is allowed on premises. Rishikesh Yog Dham promotes physical and emotional purification during the training. If you have a strong habit of smoking, please try to keep it to a minimum and smoke only outside of accommodation/resort premises. Please dispose of your cigarette buds in a safe and appropriate disposal.
- No consumption of non-vegetarian (i.e. meat, poultry, eggs, etc.), including eggs, within the accommodation or school/resort premises. Rishikesh Yog Dham realizes that not everyone interested in the course is pure vegetarian. However, by signing up and booking for this course, you have agreed to the disciplines and diet requirements. Students are responsible for bringing dietary supplements that they require during the duration of the course. If you need non-vegetarians from time to time, you may discreetly plan for your meals outside the school. Please do not request the staff to prepare non-vegetarian meals, including eggs.
- No verbal or behavioral aggression, including passive aggression, towards classmates, school management team, teachers, and resort staff at any time.
- Students are required to attend 95% of the training hours. Participating only half the class will not be counted as a full class and one should not sign the daily attendance sheet as if for full class participation.
- No mobile phones used for external communication or social media in class during an ongoing class. This is considered disrespectful to teachers and classmates who may require a positive and focused class environment.
Rishikesh Yog Dham School has rented out 90% of the resort during the training. There will be guests from tour groups, not attending the training, who take their usual non-vegetarian diet and an occasional beer. Rishikesh Yog Dham does not impose discipline on them as they are not their students. They are also do not force the resort to omit these options from the menu. However, they expect their students to follow school rules and discipline while staying at the premises.
You should remember that the School holds the right to ask a student to leave the training without certification if he or she does not follow or violates the school discipline.
