Scope of Practice
Scope of Practice for Registered Yoga Professionals
Defining the roles, responsibilities and professional boundaries for Registered Yoga Professionals.
Yoga professionals registered with AUSactive provide a variety of services for a range of clientele across many varied settings. Competency to practice is represented through the registration category held and associated continuing education completed.
AUSactive has developed a position statement that aims to define the Scope of Practice for Australian Registered Yoga Professionals (RYPs). It provides clarity about the role and responsibilities that exist for an RYP in order to enhance the quality and effectiveness of professional services and safeguard the health and interests of people using yoga professional services. Additionally, the standard aims to provide clarity for collaborative practice with professionals across broader health and community service delivery systems.
Concurrent with the higher-level objectives, it is also acknowledged that adaptation to a changing environment, innovative practice and consumer access to participation should not be unnecessarily impeded by the terms contained within the statement. In this context, the statement is viewed by AUSactive as a living document that will be reliant upon ongoing reflection, review and modification to maintain its accuracy and relevance into the future.
The Scope of Practice for Registered Yoga Professionals (RYPs) has been developed to align with the standards of local and international Yoga registration bodies and organisations.
