Prerequisites for Participation

Success in yoga requires dedication, commitment, and self-discipline. Instructors are obligated to provide students with the highest level of motivational support and to engage them fully in all aspects of the program. Yoga is not only about exercise but also about the emotional and spiritual aspects. To take full advantage of the program, participants must:

Be willing to participate in all activities, including yoga, yoga classes, and workshops.
Follow a style of yoga that avoids meat, fish, eggs, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco and drugs.
Take time and make an effort to develop as an individual, with total commitment to all of the activities put in place to encourage integral well-being.
Breaching of these principles can lead to exclusion from the program since they are the core of our teaching excellence.

Training & Skills of Students

In every aspect of life, Soham Yoga School upholds the values of justice, compassion, and respect. Our Rules and Regulations at Soham Yoga School are intended to give every student a hassle-free, stress-free environment. The following guidelines must be followed while you are there:

No alcohol or smoking: It is not permitted to consume alcohol or smoke anywhere on the property. We advocate for a clean and healthy program of life for all students.
Dietary Guidelines: Following the yogic way of life, you are restricted from eating meat, fish, eggs, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, and drugs on your sojourn.
Fasting and Special Diets: When on a fasting regime or limited diet, please inform the kitchen staff beforehand so that the necessary facilities can be secured. This is for reducing food spoilage and getting appropriate food.
Respect for Teachers and Peers: Respect for your teachers, fellow students, and the school environment is essential. Always maintain a respectful attitude and approach to your practice and your interactions with others.
Be on time: The guidelines state that all scheduled activities, such as yoga, lectures or group classes, must start at the designated time. Being late disrupts the flow and affects the experience for others.

Health and Well-Being: Yoga is more than just a physical activity; it is a way of life to optimize mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. We plead with you to pay attention to your body during the program and let your instructor know of any medical condition or issue you have had. This helps us to deliver to you the help and advice you need and deserve while you are in practice.
Physical Health and Safety: Perform within the limits of your ability and do not overexert on asana practice. When you have pain or discomfort, please tell the instructor right away.
