Code of conduct
Please read
carefully
Through these requirements we aim to create a situation free of
disturbance, which allows the complete dedication and devotion to the present
moment, so that all participants have the opportunity to imbue their Yoga
practice with spiritual depth.
The rules and regulations are listed below to which students
must commit for the smooth functioning of the program.
The course requires complete dedication both on the part of the
teacher and on the part of every student. Therefore it is recommended to avoid
distraction. In this regard, students should not actively seek external stimuli
or participate in activities not connected with Yoga. Prior to the start of the
program students will arrange everything they may need for the duration of the
course. Regarding reading books, students are encouraged to read only material
related to Yoga and Vyayam.
Students are expected to devote themselves entirely to the
course, giving undivided attention and presence during class. Complete trust in
the teacher and the teaching method are required. In the event the student
feels unwell, it is still essential to attend all classes everyday.
Students are expected to be punctual for all sessions of the
course.
The environment outside the Ashram cannot be controlled.
Tolerance of external disturbances, on the part of students, is
requested. The Course requires the student's utmost dedication and openness to
his/her own personal growth, which means readiness for change and
transformation. Students should be moderate in terms of the amount of food they
eat. Any intake of food apart from the three main meals provided by the Ashram
is strictly avoided; one should be aware that overeating is detrimental to the
purpose of the course. It is also recommended that the students go to sleep
early in the evening to ensure full presence in class. During the Course each
participant is required to suspend any personal spiritual practice and to
concentrate only and fully on the practice being taught during the course.
Positive criticism is welcome in order to enhance the quality of
learning and exploration.
Each participant should be completely aware of his/her thoughts,
speech, and actions.
Couples participating in the course may continue to share their
accommodation; they should however avoid interrupting the individual process of
each other. If one partner is not a participant, couples are required to separate
during the duration of the course.
No drugs are to be consumed during the course. The term
"drug" not only refers to illicit drugs, but to alcohol, cigarettes
and other stimulants (such as coffee) as well.
Participants are encouraged to drop their habits 3-4 weeks prior
to the start of the course to avoid experiencing withdrawal symptoms during the
program.
Terms and Conditions
A deposit (50% of total amount) is to be paid in order to secure
a place in the courses. Students should submit deposits only if they are sure
of their ability to comply with the course requirements, the code of conduct,
as well as the terms and conditions of payment. This deposit is non refundable.
Registration Acceptance
The educative committee and/or the administration of the Vedic
Foundation of Himalayas can, according to its criteria, accept or reject the
admission of a petitioner. The right to admit and exclude are reserved.
Refund policy
In the case of activities, that require a paid registration,
once the registration is complete the amount will not be refunded under any
circumstances nor will be exchanged for another activity whatever the personal
reasons may be.
In exceptional circumstances and in the case that the
participant decides to voluntarily leave the course or program or they hire
another type of activity and decide not to start the course, then a 30% refund
will be given which will be returned within 48 hours of the received payment.
The whole amount will only be refunded in the case that an application
has been rejected once it has been formalized or the program is suspended
before commencing. If the activity has already begun and the program
organization decides to unsubscribe a registered participant for whatever
reason, the amount paid will be returned and the appropriate amount discounted
from the proportional part of the days already consumed. The same will happen
if the organization cancels an already initiated program. The registration
amount will be refunded not before 15 days.
Course Organization
The Organization reserves the right to develop the courses,
seminars, programs etc. in the way it seems most beneficial. Also reserves the
right to change teachers, timetable, location of classes and the content of the
course being obliged to inform the students of these changes as long as they
are not made due to any unexpected cause.
The students will be informed if the Organization decides, under
exceptional circumstances, to suspend a program that has already begun, except
if the cancellation is due to a greater cause.
