Having recently been injured twice at the same yoga studio in Shanghai it has come to light the very disturbing fact that there are no formal institutions or organisations to regulate the quality of yoga studios in China, let alone Shanghai.
With so many yoga studios and yoga teachers around, it is very important certain guidelines are followed and respected. This is to help maintain overall high standards of education and most importantly to ensure every practitioner learns how to take care of themselves and drive their own practice.
As teachers and possibly role models, it is imperative that all teachers are well-educated, well-practiced and responsible, with all students' health and safety the main priority in every class.
This petition is here to create better awareness among yoga teachers and practitioners, creating a safe platform for students to voice their concerns in the future.
I think Regulations on health and safety need to improved in a lot of industries in China especially when it comes to their clients health and well being. I'm appalled at the treatment that customers get when they are injured because of the malpractices done by their business . This needs to change!
