Code of Conduct

Yoga Healing Consortium Institute School Code of Conduct

YHCI upholds a culture of personal refinement, clarity, and communal care.

We value embodied presence, strength-based nonviolent communication, inclusivity, professionalism, ethical boundaries, continual learning, and a shared commitment to personal and collective healing.

YHCI is a consciously cultivated learning community where yogic science, embodied humanology, and strength-based nonviolent communication form a living culture of wellness. Every participant helps create the environment we practice in, and the way we relate becomes part of the teaching itself.
