The Gilbert Yoga Code of Ethics

The Gilbert Yoga Code of Ethics
​
I Am
Responsible for cultivating Self-Reliance, Self-Respect and Self-Understanding.
I recognize that this Life and world are beautiful and
I Am
an extension of that beauty.
As a student first, I use all experiences to develop Trust, determination and adamantine willpower.
As a teacher of Yoga,
I Am
a living model to mySelf and others.
​​My Life is a reflection of my Highest Ideals.

Gilbert Yoga is a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with Yoga Alliance. This is an Ethical Commitment fostered through the foundations provided by Yoga Alliance. From the article “Yoga Alliance Standards” (2021) on the Yoga Alliance Website,

Yoga Alliance Standards set the ethical and educational framework for yoga teachers and schools in order to ensure high quality, safe, accessible, and equitable yoga teaching in communities around the world.

As a RYS with Yoga Alliance, Gilbert Yoga commits to the three elements of YA’s Registered Yoga School Standards:

1. The Ethical Commitment, including:
   1. The Code of Conduct 
   2. The Scope of Practice
   3. Responsibility to Equity in Yoga 
2. RYS Online Teacher Training Requirements
3. Registered Yoga Teachers (RYTs)
4. Community Conversations

The integrative nature of Yoga– combined with the rich, diverse history of Yoga and its many lineages– is bolstered through these commitments. At Gilbert Yoga, we are proud to align with the Ethical Commitments of Being a Registered Yoga School.
