By submitting this waiver, I understand that yoga includes physical exercises as well as opportunities for stretching, strengthening and deep relaxation. As with any physical activity, I accept that the risk of injury is present. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will listen to my body, modify or come out of the posture or movement and seek assistance from the instructor. Yoga is not a substitute for medical attention and it is not intended to examine, diagnose or treat any condition. I acknowledge and affirm that I am competent to decide whether to participate in group or private yoga classes and I will make an informed choice before doing so. I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to and regarding my participation in group or private yoga classes, workshops, retreats and teacher training programs offered at the studio. I will update the studio and instructor with any changes to my medical condition if appropriate and if I become pregnant. I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries or damages, known or unknown, which I might incur because of my participation. In further consideration, I knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive any claim I have against La Sana Yoga Inc., its owners, instructors, workshop or retreat presenters, independent contractors, employees, volunteers and representatives, from any injury or damages that I may sustain because of my participation.
