These safeguarding policies have been designed to ensure the welfare and protection of any child or adult at risk who accesses ‘Yoga’ provided by any of YFNI’s qualified teachers. 

These policies form an important part of that safe practice.

As such, YFNI-trained teachers have a duty to adhere to the policy and procedures contained within these documents and must familiarise themselves with their content.

Any queries should be directed to Amy Morgan, Safeguarding Officer via info@yfni.co.uk

Yoga teachers trained by other yoga organisations and other interested YFNI members may look to these policy documents for information and guidance on the subject.

It is important to highlight that while anyone is free to do so and information exchange in this important policy area is essential, YFNI only has a responsibility to inform those teachers who have been trained by YFNI. 

Zoom Safety for YFNI-trained Yoga Teachers

When teaching yoga classes online, using Zoom as the platform, we remind you to follow the inbuilt security features to ensure the safety of you and your users (eg. using passwords and the waiting room).

Most importantly, we would remind you to never share your class ID and password publicly, either through Facebook or any other social media platform.

Keep your Zoom class information private, and share it only with your class members.
