We recommend you obtain professional advice and carefully consider which insurance policy and company best meets your needs.
In Australia (and internationally) any person can conduct business as a yoga professional, including setting up a studio and offering teacher training courses without proof of experience, training standards or professional registration.
Health FundsIn October 2017, the Federal Government announced some changes to the Health Fund rebates which impacted rebates for yoga and other natural therapies. From 1st April 2019, yoga was removed from all health fund lists. Click below to find out the actions Yoga Australia has taken.
Continuing Professional DevelopmentThe Yoga Australia Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Policy requires Register Yoga Teacher to undertake CPD activities, which earn at least 12 CPD points in each year of membership.
Mentoring is the guidance given between teacher and trainee, as well as the ongoing professional and personal guidance necessary for all yoga teachers, at all levels of experience, as part of the continuing journey of yoga. Yoga Australia strongly encourages all members, from level 1 to level 3 teachers to engage in mentoring. It is also a requirement that members who spent less than 6 months in training, receive mentoring in order to become full members. Yoga Australia has initiated a Register of Mentors to facilitate a modern culture of life-long mentoring that for centuries has been an integral part of Yoga traditions.
