This applies to all FlowWell Yoga + Wellness classes, events, and trainings, including in-studio and Yoga Beyond the Studio offerings in Washington, DC.

FlowWell Yoga + Wellness / Yoga for Justice Teacher Training

Code of Conduct

FlowWell Yoga + Wellness and the Yoga for Justice Teacher Training are rooted in the belief that wellness, justice, and community are inseparable. All participants, teachers, staff, and guests are expected to contribute to a space that is respectful, inclusive, and grounded in care.

By participating, you agree to:

  • Treat all individuals with dignity and respect, regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, age, religion, or background

  • Honor personal boundaries, including physical, emotional, and energetic consent

  • Engage in practices of accountability, including openness to feedback and repair

  • Refrain from harmful, disruptive, or unsafe behavior, including discrimination, harassment, or intimidation

  • Respect the integrity of the space, including timely arrival, appropriate attire, and mindful participation

FlowWell reserves the right to remove any participant whose behavior compromises the safety or well-being of the community.

Anti-Harassment Policy

FlowWell Yoga + Wellness maintains a zero-tolerance policy for harassment of any kind.

Harassment includes, but is not limited to:

  • Verbal, physical, or visual conduct that demeans, threatens, or targets an individual or group

  • Unwelcome physical contact or inappropriate adjustments without consent

  • Sexual harassment, including unwanted advances, comments, or behavior

  • Discriminatory language or actions based on identity or lived experience

All participants have the right to practice and learn in an environment free from harassment. Any individual found engaging in harassment may be subject to removal without refund and, where appropriate, further action.


Anti-Retaliation Policy

FlowWell Yoga + Wellness strictly prohibits retaliation against any individual who:

  • Reports misconduct or a policy violation

  • Participates in an investigation

  • Raises concerns in good faith

Retaliation includes intimidation, exclusion, threats, or any adverse action taken in response to a report.

Any act of retaliation will be treated as a serious violation of our policies and may result in immediate dismissal from classes or training programs.

Grievance Policy

We are committed to accountability, transparency, and repair.

If you experience or witness a concern, harm, or policy violation:

  1. Report the concern as soon as possible to a designated instructor, staff member, or via email (insert studio email)

  2. Reports will be reviewed promptly and handled with as much confidentiality as possible

  3. FlowWell will assess the situation and may initiate a conversation, mediation, or formal review

  4. Outcomes may include restorative dialogue, behavioral agreements, or removal from the program

We aim to approach grievances with care, integrity, and a commitment to collective well-being.
