Code of Conduct for Mindful Academy Solterreno
200hr Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training
Dear (students name)
Thank you for joining the 200 hour Mindful Meditation Teacher Training programme. We hope you enjoy the course and find it informative and inspiring. In order to maintain high standards and ensure that we keep our good reputation, it is important that you reach a certain minimum standard. Whenever we feel that this is not the case, we will talk to you personally and try to put things right. The assessment and coaching is on a continuous basis and you are expected to attend and take part in all training sessions, and complete the course self-study.
To help you develop, you will receive constructive feedback on your progress and be formally assessed 2 times with one-to-one feedback with Bodhin Philip Woodward, Director of Training. Students who do not meet the required standards will be asked to improve on the areas of development, and demonstrate that they have done this, before being issued with a certificate. All successful students can be registered on our database of accredited Mindful Meditation Teachers.
This Code of Conduct is a summation and declaration of acceptable, ethical, and professional behavior by which all Yoga Alliance Professionals Registered Meditation Teachers agree to conduct the teaching and business of Mindfulness Meditation.

5. Acknowledge the limitations of my skills and scope of practice and where appropriate, refer students to seek alternative instruction, advice, treatment, or direction.
