A Supervisor is essential to an instructor. The supervised instructor is not forced to pay the

Also, the Federations request an instructor to have a
Supervisor in order to gain the right to revalidate his or her certificate.

10 – What is the difference between supervision and affiliation?
Supervision is voluntary, although it is indispensable if the instructor wishes to teach. It consists of a contract between two parts (the Supervisor and the Supervised) in which the latter pays a monthly fee to the former, on the amount equivalent to the monthly payment of one of the students of the
Supervised. This fee automatically awards the instructor with discounts in courses.
The affiliation is optional and consists of an association between two juridical parties (União Nacional de Yôga and the affiliated entity), which is not paid, since the affiliated will receive in educational material the amount he or she contributed with, and it also grants discounts when acquiring products, events, etc.
