Professionals
Manomithra is being built for people who teach, and for people who want to work with teachers. None of it is operating yet. This page describes the design, and is explicit about what has not been decided.
Nothing on this page is a live service
There is no directory, no booking, no payment and no verification scheme in operation. What follows is a description of the design, and the parts of it that have deliberately been left undecided.
Who it is for
The categories below describe who the design is being built around. They are a description of intent, and the eligibility rules behind them have not been set.
You may be a yoga teacher at any level of experience, a physiotherapist or other movement professional, a somatic or bodywork practitioner, or someone who teaches in a setting the library does not yet cover. The design does not assume a single lineage.
What the design holds
A profile is intended to hold the things a student needs in order to decide whether a teacher is right for them: who they are, where they work, what they teach, and the qualifications they hold. Credentials would be recorded as the professional states them, with a reference, and each one would carry its own rights and verification status rather than appearing as a bare list.
Qualification requirements are not set. The schema records a qualification and how it is treated, and deliberately does not mandate a specific certificate, because mandating one is a decision this project has not made.
01
Stated
The professional has recorded a qualification as they describe it, with a reference and a source.
02
Checked
A reviewer has compared the statement against the reference. This state is internal and is not shown publicly.
03
Published as verified
Only this state appears publicly, and it is never implied by the first two.
The third state is the only public one. Manomithra does not verify anyone today. No professional in this design is verified, and nothing on this site should be read as a statement that a verification scheme is in operation.
Intended direction
The intended direction is a professional directory students can search by practice type and location; the ability to publish notes and adaptations alongside library practices, so a teacher's judgement is visible rather than implicit; and continuing professional development recorded against a profile.
None of this is built. There is no booking, no payment, no scheduling and no marketplace in this phase, and none of it is on a timetable the project has committed to.
Register your interest
There is no application process running today, and no standard to meet yet. Registering interest below is an expression of interest only: it creates a record a person will read, not a queue position or a commitment.
Not sure yet
If you want to know how the design treats qualifications, or what a verification record would and would not say, that is a reasonable message to send. It is read by a person, and answering it commits us to nothing.
