Liability Waiver 

Introduction

I am participating in yoga classes, health programs, workshops and/or other wellness, body work, therapy, exercise and healing arts activities (collectively, the “Activities”) offered by Release and Flow Limited (the “School”). The Activities may be offered in the physical location of the client’s home or offered online by videos, television, podcasts, apps or other digital media or platforms. All of such offerings, either physical or online, shall be considered “Activities”.

I recognise that I must be in adequate physical and mental health to participate in the Activities. I understand that the Activities may require intense physical exertion, and I represent and warrant that I am physically fit enough to participate, and I have no medical condition which would prevent my full participation in the Activities. I recognise 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 the School reserves the right to refuse my participation in any Activity on medical, fitness or any other grounds.

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 I could experience muscle, back, neck and other 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.

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 at the School.

Attendees are urged to listen to their own bodies and not to take the practice of yoga to beyond their own capabilities and limitations. If pain or discomfort is experienced at anytime during the practice of yoga it should be stopped immediately and a qualified health care professional should be consulted.

Always follow the safety instructions and listen to your body. Where a movement or session is beyond your experience or ability, feels too difficult for you, or you experience any discomfort, please do not continue the movement or session.

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 School, 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 at the School, except in the case of gross negligence.

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Released Party from any injury, loss, damage, cost, or liability incurred in defending any Claim made by me or anyone making a Claim on my behalf. 

“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.

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.

I hereby understand that the School from time to time may photograph, video, or otherwise record classes or events occurring at the School and place such photographs and videos on its Website or social media platform. I hereby consent to the use of my image that may appear in any such photograph or video.

Healthy and Safety at Home 

By taking part in any online class, I acknowledge that classes may be physically strenuous, and I voluntarily participate in them with full knowledge that there could be a risk of personal injury.

When practising from home, I accept full responsibility for my home space and the health and safety precautions within this space. You must have a suitable space large enough to practice yoga and remove any tripping hazards or obstacles in the way. You must have a yoga mat which is not slippery.

Whilst practicing online the student understands that with their camera on, they are visible to the teacher and other attendees who are in the online space.

Release and Flow Limited is not responsible for any injuries I may experience as a result of my use of any material found on the company website.

Whilst practicing online I am responsible for choosing and taking suitable modifications within my practice and if I choose to divert from the general instructions of the class, then I am doing so at my own discretion.

Please ensure you have read the above carefully before proceeding 

This agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of England and Wales and that all actions, suits, claims and proceedings relating to this agreement shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in England and Wales. In case any provision of this agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall not affect any other provision of this agreement and this agreement shall be construed as if such provision had never been contained herein.

I acknowledge that I have carefully read this agreement and fully understand its contents. I voluntarily and knowingly agree to the terms and conditions stated herein. I am aware that by booking into any Release and Flow Limited services or accessing online material I hereby agree to the terms and conditions above, and I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue and certain legal rights my heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators and assigns may have against any Released Party.

Upon booking into any of Release and Flow Limited services you are confirming you indicate acceptance of our liability waiver.
