General terms of ShambhavAnanda Yoga Eldorado/Shoshoni

Student RELEASE OF LIABILITY
ShambhavAnanda Yoga Eldorado/Shoshoni

I understand that yoga includes physical movements as well as an opportunity for relaxation, stress reduction 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. Yoga is an individual experience. I understand that I will progress at my own pace. 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. If at any point I feel overexertion or fatigue, I will respect my body’s limitations and I will rest before continuing yoga practice. 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 understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to and regarding my participation in yoga. I represent and warrant that I am physically fit and I have no medical condition or injury that would prevent my participation in yoga. I affirm that I alone am responsible to decide whether to practice yoga. I understand and acknowledge that I am fully responsible for any and all risks, injuries, or damages, known or unknown, which I might incur or aggravate as a result of my participation.
