Student Waiver Agreement For Wild Atlantic Way Yoga Self-Care Day Retreat

 I understand that yoga includes physical movements as well as an opportunity for relaxation. Stress re-education and relief of muscular tension.  As in the case with any physical activity, the risk of unjust, 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, adjust the posture and ask for support from the teacher.  I will continue to breathe smoothly.

Yoga is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis or treatment.  Yoga is not recommended and is not safe under certain medical conditions.  I affirm that I alone am responsible to decide whether to practice yoga.  If I have any medical conditions, I will consult my physician to see if yoga practice is safe for me.

I hereby agree to irrevocably release and waive any claims that I have now or hereafter may have against Wild Atlantic Way Yoga.
