Student Liability Waiver

I understand that yoga includes physical movement as well as an opportunity for relaxation, stress reduction, and relief of muscular tension. Participation in yoga class includes, but not limited to participation in meditation techniques, yogic breathing techniques, longer seated portions of learning and the performance of various yoga postures. Yoga postures (asanas) are designed to exercise every part of the body, toning the muscles, joints, spine, and entire skeletal system. Yoga also works on the internal organs, glands and nerves, and incorporates sustained stretching to strengthen muscles and increase flexibility. As in the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. My signature acknowledges that I understand that in a yoga class, workshop or training, I will progress at my own pace. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will listen to my body, adjust the posture, use yoga props, and ask for support from the teacher. I will continue to breathe smoothly and if at any point I feel overexertion or fatigue, I will honor my body, fully respect its limitations, and rest before continuing my practice or stop if necessary. Yoga is not suitable for medical attention, examination, diagnosis, or treatment. Yoga is not safe under certain medical conditions and these yoga professionals recommend that you consult with your doctor before beginning this or any exercise routine.

My signature further verifies that I am physically fit and a licensed medical doctor has verified my physical condition for participation in this type of class, workshop, or training. If I am pregnant, become pregnant or am post-natal, my signature verifies that I am participating in yoga with my doctor’s full approval.
