One of the guiding principles of yoga is Ahimsa (kindness). Therefore, it is important that you listen to your body and respect its limits on any given day. If at any time during a yoga class you feel discomfort or strain, gently come out of the posture. You may rest at any time during the class.
Informed Consent Agreement
I understand that yoga and corrective exercises include physical movements as well as an opportunity for relaxation, stress re-education and relief of muscular tension. As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will listen to my body, discontinue the activity, and ask for support from the instructor. I will continue to breathe smoothly. I assume full responsibility for any and all damages which may incur through participation.
I understand that yoga and corrective exercises are not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis or treatment. Yoga and corrective exercises are not recommended and are not safe under certain medical conditions. By signing, I affirm that a licensed physician has verified my good health and physical condition to participate in such a fitness program, if required. In addition, I will make the instructor aware of any medical conditions or physical limitations before class. If I am pregnant, become pregnant or I am post-natal or post-surgical, my signature verifies that I have my physician's approval to participate. I also affirm that I alone am responsible to decide whether to practice yoga and undertake corrective exercises and participation is at my own risk. I hereby agree to irrevocably release and waive any claims that I have now or may have hereafter against The Centre of Bright Beginnings, its staff, employees and all related facilities and premises for any personal injury or negligence. Additionally, the facility, instructors and The Centre of Bright Beginnings are not in any way responsible for any loss or damage of my personal property.
If any portion of this release from liability shall be deemed by a Court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, then the remainder of this release from liability shall remain in full force and effect and the offending provision or provisions severed here from.
