I understand that yoga includes physical movements as well as an opportunity for relaxation, stress re-education and relief of muscular tension.
Participation in yoga class includes but is not limited to, participation in meditation techniques, yogic breathing techniques, and performing various yoga postures. Yoga postures, or asanas, are designed to exercise every part of the body―stretching and toning the muscles and joints, the spine, and the entire skeletal system. They also work on the internal organs, glands, and nerves. Yoga incorporates sustained stretching to strengthen muscles and increase flexibility. Yoga is an individual experience.
As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be eliminated. My signature acknowledges I understand that in yoga class I will progress at my own pace. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will listen to my body, adjust my 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 affirm that I alone am responsible to decide whether to practice yoga. I hereby agree to irrevocably release and waive any claims that I have now or hereafter may have against Charming Pet Rescue or the instructor over this class.
I acknowledge that cats are part of the yoga class and I accept and assume the risks associated with the use of cats/kitten while engaging in this activity. Cats/kittens may behave unpredictably and could cause injury. I hereby freely and expressly assume all risk of property damage, injury, and death associated with yoga and cats/kittens.
By electronically signing my name below, I acknowledge that participation in yoga classes exposes me to a possible risk of personal injury. I am fully aware of this risk and hereby release Charming Pet Rescue and the instructor over this class from any and all liability, negligence or other claims arising from or in any way connected with my participation in cat yoga class.
My signature further acknowledges that I shall not now or at any time in the future bring any legal action against Charming Pet Rescue or the instructor over the class; and that this waiver is binding on me, my heirs, my spouse, my children, my legal representatives, my successors, and my assigns. My signature verifies that I am physically fit to participate in yoga classes and a licensed medical doctor has verified my physical condition for participation in this type of class.
If I am pregnant or become pregnant or am post-natal, my signature verifies that I am participating in yoga classes with my doctor’s full approval. I realize that I am participating in cat yoga classes at my own risk. My signature is binding to this liability waiver from this day forth.
