Additional to the above, if at any time during the class, you feel discomfort or strain, increased pain, feel faint, dizzy or shortness of breath, stop and gently come out of the posture. You may rest at any time during the class. It is important in yoga that you listen to your body, and respect its limits on any given day.

I understand that yoga includes 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 teacher, but it will be your responsibility to choose the right option for you.

I assume full responsibility for any and all damages, which may incur through participation and the participation of any children or babies.

I understand that Yoga is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis or treatment. Yoga is not recommended and is not safe under certain medical conditions. By agreeing to this waiver, 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 teachers 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 agreement 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 participation is at my own risk.

Additionally, the facility, teachers and Stillness in Motion Yoga are not in any way responsible for any loss or damage of your personal property.

Those under 18 years of age must email Stillness in Motion Yoga and have these terms agreed to by a guardian.

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. 

I hereby agree to irrevocably release and waive any claims that I have now or may have hereafter (including damages, costs, expenses, legal costs) against Stillness in Motion Yoga, its teachers, directors, employees, contractors and all related facilities and premises arising directly or indirectly out of acts or omissions any personal injury or negligence related to myself and or any children in my care and covenant not to sue Stillness in Motion Yoga, its teachers, directors, employees, contractors and all related facilities and premises in respect of any such claims against Stillness in Motion Yoga, its teachers, employees, contractors and all related facilities and premises .

Additional to the above, it is your responsibility to ensure there is a capable adult at home with you when you are practising an online class and that they are aware of your session and able and willing to offer assistance in case of any illness or emergency.

If you are unable to have an aforementioned adult present in your place of yoga practise, it is your responsibility to provide an emergency contact to your teacher before each class.

Be sure that the yoga practise environment is safe and free of obstacles, that you have a non-slip mat for standing poses and that any chair used is stable.
