Code of Conduct for MoreYoga Teacher Training

We create a warm and welcoming atmosphere in our 200 hour diploma course. We do everything to ensure our students enjoy the course and find it useful and informative.

In order to maintain high standards and ensure that we keep our good reputation, it is important that you reach a certain minimum standard with your teaching practice.

Whenever we feel this is not the case, we will talk to you personally and try to put things right. The assessments are on a continuous basis and you will receive feedback on your progress. Students who do not meet the minimum requirements will be asked to improve on the areas of weakness, and demonstrate that they have done this, before being issued a certificate.
