Student Charter

1. Learning together

Treat students, teachers, staff and community members with dignity. Do not harass, discriminate, threaten, exploit or retaliate against others. Respect cultural and personal differences, privacy and professional boundaries. The existing code's anti-harassment, sexual-boundary and nonretaliation principles remain important; adapt the language to online education, mentor calls, direct messages, community and any in-person activity.

Teachers should recognize their position of trust and avoid exploitative relationships or conflicts that compromise instruction. Respect consent for touch, participation, photography and recording.

2. Support and accessibility

Mentor support is currently included, including after graduation. Lifetime access includes all future updates to the curriculum in which you enrolled. If the delivery platform changes, Drishti Beats will preserve your access to that curriculum. This promise does not automatically include every future separately offered course. The school’s commitment to lifetime curriculum access remains in place; no particular replacement platform or downloadable format is promised here. Lifetime access to course content is separate from ongoing human support; this statement does not promise free lifetime mentoring.

The minimum enrollment age is 14. Students aged 14–17 require parental or guardian consent. Students aged 14–17 must contact the Drishti Beats team before enrolling, at hello@drishtibeats.com or through the contact page, to arrange parental or guardian consent.

Existing contact routes are hello@drishtibeats.com, /contact/ and platform chat. Pilates support includes community, direct mentor email and one-to-one Zoom when needed. For privacy, refunds, accessibility, academic questions, complaints and appeals, contact hello@drishtibeats.com. The Drishti Beats team handles these matters together. If a concern involves a team member, say so in your message and ask the team to arrange another team member’s review. This is a shared team inbox, not a separate independent or confidential reporting service.

Tell us about a barrier to learning or a support need so the school can discuss available arrangements.

Only request information necessary to arrange support. Health details should use the shared team contact route, hello@drishtibeats.com; ask the team how to provide only the information needed for your request, not public community posts. Support commitments and lifetime content access should be distinguished without reducing existing student promises.

3. Safe practice and professional scope

Follow course and equipment safety guidance; work within your preparation and seek qualified help when an activity is unfamiliar. Pilates beginners should arrange Reformer orientation/guided practice. Obtain ongoing consent for any touch when applying teaching in practice. Do not share identifiable student/client health information in exercises without appropriate permission and safeguards.

Education does not replace medical or psychological care. Do not use a course certificate to claim a clinical or professional authority it does not confer.

4. Assessment and certificates

Use the criteria published for your specific course. Yoga and Pilates have different assessment methods. Pilates currently uses five automatically graded multiple-choice knowledge reviews, all answers correct, with feedback/retries; the school manually emails its completion certificate. It is not independent practical assessment or an RYT credential. Yoga FAQ describes filmed teaching practice and individual mentor feedback.

5. Course instructions and assistance

Follow the instructions for your course and assessment. Ask the team if you are uncertain about collaboration, sources or tool assistance. This Charter does not introduce a separate compulsory AI-use policy.

6. Your work, privacy and recording

Students retain ownership of their original work. The school uses submissions to review learning and provide teaching feedback. Original student submissions are received for mentor review and then deleted in the school’s teaching workflow; they are not retained for students to revisit throughout their access. Original submissions are distinct from mentor-authored feedback, course progress and completion/certificate records.

Submitting work for assessment does not itself give permission for public or promotional reuse.

The team sometimes records calls or classes so students, including those who missed a class, can watch a replay for up to one week. This replay window does not promise that every call is recorded or that recordings are available indefinitely.

Respect others' personal information and the school's protected teaching materials.

7. Concerns, complaints and appeals

For privacy, refunds, accessibility, academic questions, complaints and appeals, contact hello@drishtibeats.com. The Drishti Beats team handles these matters together. If a concern involves a team member, say so in your message and ask the team to arrange another team member’s review. This is a shared team inbox, not a separate independent or confidential reporting service.

The team will review the concern, seek relevant information, give affected people an opportunity to respond, explain the outcome and consider a request for another team member’s review. No fixed response time or independent appeal body is promised.

The team can consider good-faith reports, including concerns raised by witnesses or third parties where appropriate. Share information only with people who need it for a fair response or lawful obligation; do not promise absolute secrecy. No retaliation for good-faith reporting or participation.

8. Keeping the Charter useful

The effective date identifies this version of the Charter. Existing agreements and applicable rights are preserved. The team handles concerns through the shared school contact route.
