Agreement of Release and Waiver of Liability I hereby agree to the following: 1. That I am voluntarily participating in yoga classes or worships offered by Ashtanga Yoga Bellingham/Bellingham Yoga during which I will receive information and instruction about yoga. I recognize that yoga requires physical exertion, which may be strenuous and may cause injury, and I am fully aware of the risks and hazards involved. 2. I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to and regarding my participation in the yoga classes and workshops. I represent and warrant that I am physically fit and I have no medical condition which would prevent my participation in the yoga classes and workshops. 3. In consideration of being permitted to participate in the yoga classes and/or workshops, I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries, or damages, known or unknown, which I might incur as a result of participating in the program offered by Ashtanga Yoga Bellingham/Bellingham Yoga. 4. I fully understand that if I injure myself as a result of my participation in Ashtanga Yoga Bellingham/Bellingham Yoga exercise program that I hereby release Ashtanga Yoga Bellingham/Bellingham Yoga, Luke Baugh, or any of its employees, owners, and individual instructors or affiliates, from liability now or in the future, including but not limited to heart attacks, muscle strains, pulls, tears, broken bones, shin splints, heart prostration, knee, lower back or foot injuries and any other illness, soreness, or injury however being permitted to participate in the yoga classes and workshops, I knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive any claim I may have against Ashtanga Bellingham, for any injury or damages that I may sustain as a result of participating in the program. 5. I agree to assume full responsibility for any injury or impairment that may occur as a result of earthquake, fire, or by any other Act of God. 6. I, my heirs or legal representative forever release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue Ashtanga Yoga Bellingham/Bellingham Yoga or any of its teachers, for any injury or death caused by their negligence or other acts. 7. I know that yoga requires alignment of the body and that yoga teachers often adjust students to help them get the poses more accurately. By signing below, I consent to such touch and adjustment. If I do not wish to be touched I will clarify that fact in a signed writing and hand it to every teacher whose classes I attend prior to the commencement of that class. 8. I realize that just as students choose their teachers, teachers also choose their students, and that some teachers may choose not to accept me as a student, and I agree to abide by the teachers choice in the matter. 9. I realize that all tuition fees, once paid, are not refundable and that classes are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. 10. I recognize that if I have any physical impairments, if I smoke cigarettes, if I am pregnant, have any physical difficulty (such as heart disease, high blood pressure, overweight, pain or pressure in the chest, back or knee problems, surgery, injury) that may affect my ability to practice yoga, I will inform the studio in writing before I undertake classes and I will inform the instructor(s) verbally during class. I have read the above release and waiver of liability and fully understand its contents. I voluntarily agree to the terms and conditions stated above.
