Due to the nature of the subject of this course and to the high regard we put on living with integrity, honesty, truthfulness, and compassion Yoga Veda Institute expects students to understand and maintain high standards of academic integrity. Breaches of academic integrity are subject to review by the Admin Board and may be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including requirement to withdraw from the School and suspension of registration privileges or revocation of certification.

Yoga Veda Institute expects students to be active and engaged participants.
