3. Training Etiquette 

  • Lateness: You are required to arrive at the studio on time for training to start. The Whatsapp group is not an appropriate place to let the studio know of any lateness. Should you be running late due to unforeseen circumstances, please contact Oru Space or Sammy directly by phone;

  • Phones: Mobile phones are not to be used during any classes or modules unless specifically requested (ie. to take a photo or video of a posture); 

  • Photos/video: You must ask permission from teachers and other trainees before taking photos/videos and /or sharing anything on social media;

  • Studio etiquette: Please ensure you leave the studio clean and tidy after your training has ended and during breaks. Remove all rubbish, place props/mats back as they were, and clean any mugs/glasses; 

  • Illness procedure: Should you experience an illness that prevents you from training, please contact the studio as soon as possible. We will inform the teacher and arrange a suitable time for hours to be made up, or send appropriate homework for you to complete. If required, Sammy and some of the faculty members will be available to hold private catch-up sessions for an additional £50/hr. 

4. Catch-up procedures

  • Not every teacher will want to present their topic as a 121 as they may prefer/require group participation i.e teaching practice/ partner work etc. They may say a private catch-up is not appropriate. 

  • Some teachers may feel additional reading and writing a synopsis of the key learning points from that reading will suffice. Some teachers may ask you to practice something and write up your reflections. Other topics will be covered via IRL/Live stream lecture and Q&A. The individual teacher will explain the best process to adequately cover their material.

  • If a teacher feels their topic can be covered over Zoom that is their call. Some teachers will prefer/require to see you in person. 

  • A 3-hour TT module does not necessarily need to be a 3-hour catch-up, but it is at the teacher's discretion how long the catch-up requires.

  • We suggest teachers charge £50 p/hr, paid directly to them not to Oru Space (subject to teacher discretion).

5. Cancellation policy

In the event of needing to cancel or pull out of the course part way through, we will be unable to give you a certificate of graduation from the training. Please note your course fees are still due unless an exemption applies. If you feel for any reason unable to continue with the course you should e-mail wellness@oruspace.co as soon as possible. 

6. Ethics

As a student and/or graduate of the Oru Space Yoga Teacher Training course, we expect you to:

  • be honest and straightforward in all your business and personal dealings;

  • not to criticise other yoga teachers or any system of yoga;

  • continue your yoga studies and personal practice on a regular basis;

  • not to discriminate on grounds of race, religion, gender, age, or sexual orientation;

  • to respect your fellow students’ beliefs and values;

  • acknowledge the limitations of your skills and scope of practice and where appropriate, refer students to seek alternative instruction, advice, treatment, or direction.

  • vow to uphold the standards of the teachings you have been given, and accept that failure to do so may lead to the annulment of any accreditation obtained from Oru Space.
