The following Entity as name below will be participating in sessions and I as its representative understand on the entity’s behalf that yoga includes physical movements as well as an opportunity for relaxation, stress re­education and relief of muscular tension. Participation in yoga class includes, but is not limited to, participation in meditation techniques, yogic breathing techniques, and performing various yoga postures. Yoga postures, or asanas, are designed to exercise every part of the body―stretching and toning the muscles and joints, the spine and the entire skeletal system. They also work on the internal organs, glands and nerves. Yoga incorporates sustained stretching to strengthen muscles and increase flexibility. Yoga is an individual experience. As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated.

My completion of this form acknowledges I am authorized on the Entity’s behalf and understand that in yoga class each individual will progress at their own pace. If they experience any pain or discomfort, they will listen to their body, adjust the posture and ask for support from the yoga teacher (the “Teacher”). They will continue to breathe smoothly. If at any point they feel overexertion or fatigue, they will respect their body’s limitations and will rest before continuing yoga practice. Yoga is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis or treatment. Yoga is not recommended and is not safe under certain medical conditions. They affirm that they alone are responsible to decide whether they practice yoga. By signing my name below, I acknowledge that the Entity and all attendees have been fully informed that participation in yoga classes exposes them to a possible risk of personal injury. I affirm they have are fully aware of this risk and that the Entity attending the session is solely responsible for ensuring that each individual attendee understands the risk.

I hereby consent for the individual attendees in the Entity to receive medical treatment that may be deemed advisable in the event of injury, accident and/or illness during any yoga class at their own expense.

 I hereby take action for myself, the listed entity, my heirs, my spouse, my children, my legal representatives, any attendee, any attendee’s heirs, any legal representative of the attendee, any legal representative of the listed entity, the attendee’s spouse, my successors , the attendee’s successors, my assigns, and the attendee’s assigns as follows :

If they are pregnant or become pregnant or am post­natal, my signature verifies that they are participating in yoga classes with my doctor’s full approval. They realize that they are participating in yoga classes at their own risk.

I acknowledge that this Student Waiver Agreement form will be used by the persons or entities being released in the yoga classes and that it will govern their actions and responsibilities in said classes.
