Introducing the Professional Protection and Safety Team

(support only available for UK members)

There's an important development in how we’re strengthening member support.

We’re introducing a new area of member support called the Professional Protection and Safety Team. Its role is simple: to help yoga professionals teach with confidence in an increasingly complex world; supporting you, your students, and the integrity of your work.

This isn’t about adding rules or telling you how to teach. It’s about making professional responsibilities clearer and easier to navigate, so safety and good practice feel supportive rather than stressful or reactive.

The landscape around teaching yoga is changing; not just in how and where people teach, but in expectations around professionalism, responsibility, and record-keeping. Many teachers are navigating this alongside busy lives and mixed work patterns, often without clear guidance.

The Professional Protection and Safety Team exists to hold that complexity on your behalf.

Over time, you’ll see gentle guidance and resources that:

• help clarify professional responsibilities
• support safe, ethical practice
• protect you, your students, and your work
• reinforce trust in yoga as a professional discipline

It’s also important to say what this isn’t. We won’t be monitoring teaching, policing practice, or offering individual legal or tax advice. The focus is clarity, fairness, and consistent support across the membership.

For now, there’s nothing you need to do. This note is simply to keep you informed about how we’re strengthening protection and safety as part of your membership.

I’ll share more over the coming weeks, and I’ll also be inviting members to suggest topics they’d like support with.

Thank you for being part of YogaPros, and for the care you bring to your teaching.
