Release And Waiver Of Liability (SCIENCE OF YOGA Certification)

Please read the following Release and Waiver of Liability and confirm you agree to it by filling out the form below.

1. I am participating in yoga training and practices (Activities) offered by Ann Swanson, Flexible Wellness LLC, in a live and pre-recorded, online video format.

2. I recognize that I must be in adequate physical and mental health to participate in the Activities. I understand that the Activities may require physical exertion, and I represent and warrant that I am physically fit enough to participate and I will use my own judgement and adapt or sit out of Activities if I have limitations. I recognize that the Activities may cause or aggravate a physical injury or medical condition. I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician before my participation in the Activities. If I have done so, I have taken the physician’s advice. I understand that Facilitators reserve the right to refuse my participation in any Activity on medical, fitness or any other grounds.

3. I am aware that my participation in the Activities could result in high blood pressure, fainting, heartbeat disorders, physical injury, heart attack or stroke and may aggravate pre-existing injuries. I understand that, as with any physical exercise, I could experience injuries as a result of my participation in the Activities. I understand my physical limitations and I am sufficiently self-aware to stop or modify my participation in any Activity before I become injured or aggravate a pre-existing injury.

4. In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries or damages, known or unknown, which I might incur as a result of participating in the Activities, including those which may result from the negligence of Facilitators.

5. In further consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, I knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive any “Claim” (as defined below) I may have against the Studio, its owners, managers, teachers, instructors, workshop presenters, employees, independent contractors and staff (each, a “Released Party”) that I may sustain as a result of participating in the Activities even if the Claim arises from the negligence of any Released Party or anyone else.

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Released Party from any loss, cost, or liability incurred in defending any Claim made by me or anyone making a Claim on my behalf, even if the Claim is alleged to or did result from the negligence of any Released Party or anyone else.

“Claim” includes but is not limited to any and all liabilities, claims, demands, expenses, fees, legal actions, rights of actions for damages, personal injury, mental suffering and distress, or death that I may suffer, my spouse, children or unborn child may suffer (including any legal fees or expenses) in connection with participation in any Activity.

6. I, my heirs or legal representatives forever release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue any Released Party for any Claim caused by any negligence or other acts of a Released Party.

7. I hereby understand that Facilitators may photograph or record part or all of the sessions and place such photographs and videos online. I hereby consent to the use of my image that may appear in any such photograph or video.

8. ***I understand that I am required for safety reasons to have my video on during live video physical practice–including yoga poses, breathwork, or other movement. This also allows the Facilitator to best serve me. During discussion, it is not required but encouraged for better connection.
