RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY
Therapeutic Yoga is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being by applying the teachings and practices of yoga. It does not diagnose or treat a specific condition. Therapeutic Yoga treats the whole person. This approach addresses all dimensions of life: anatomical, physiological, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.
I am responsible for my health and acknowledge that yoga therapy is not a substitute for necessary medical treatment. No guarantees are being made or implied regarding the efficacy of Therapeutic Yoga.
I represent and warrant that I am physically able to participate and have no medical condition which could prevent my full participation in a program. I understand that Be Center/Original Impulse or Feathered Pipe Ranch do not provide any medical or health screening of participants, instead relying on the good faith of participants like myself to cooperate as described in this agreement to help keep all of us safe and healthy.
I understand that Therapeutic Yoga involves physical movement as well as the opportunity for relaxation and relief of muscular tension. Other exercises that may be involved are the following:
breathing, yoga poses, yoga exercises, and strengthening exercises from yoga.
Therapeutic Yoga is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis or treatment. I affirm that I alone am responsible to decide whether to practice Therapeutic Yoga. In addition, I have been advised to consult with my licensed health care practitioner before deciding to practice Therapeutic Yoga.
As with any physical activity, the risk of injury is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will listen to my body and inform my yoga therapist. Furthermore, I voluntarily and expressly, with knowledge, waive any claim that I might have against Be Center/Original Impulse for any risks, injuries, and/or damages, known or unknown, which I may sustain as a result of my participation in these services in or outside (including on the internet-online) of the studio facility. The parties hereto intend the Release and Waiver of Liability to be binding upon their heirs and any and all successors-in-interest.
I acknowledge that I am aware of the current pandemic risks and the possibility that I could contract an illness from being exposed to the virus from another person during the program, or while traveling to and from it, or while on activities or field trips. I also represent and warrant that before the program (per CDC’s advisory at the time of the retreat) that if I am diagnosed with, test positive for, or have any symptoms of having contracted a contagious illness, including but not limited to COVID-19, that I will contact Be Center/Original Impulse and cancel my attendance of the program. (See Cancellation Policy for cancellation/refund options.)
Knowing the potential risks in participating in a Be Center/Original Impulse hosted at Feathered Pipe Ranch, I attest that I voluntarily participate in these activities with knowledge of the risks involved.
By ticking the box below, I understand and agree to the statements above.
