Yoga Australia is subject to the requirements of applicable Australian law and strives to meet the requirements of the Australian National Principles for the Fair Handling of Personal Information.
Your Information and Your Right To Privacy
Unless you specifically tell us, this site will never know who you are (applies to Yoga Australia members only).

After all, it is your information, so you should be the person that controls it.
If you choose and inform us accordingly, Yoga Australia will not send you unsolicited email, that is, make you part of a Yoga Australia mailing list. Yoga Australia uses this method to communicate quickly with members. You have the right to refuse inclusion on a mailing list. Members can make a request to remove their email address from a mailing list by contacting the Yoga Australia office.
