Participation in yoga classes 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. 

Participation in fitness classes includes, but is not limited to, participation in various strength and cardiovascular exercises which are designed to exercise every part of the body―including the muscles and joints, the spine, and the entire skeletal system.

As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. By choosing to attend our classes, trainings, and events, you acknowledge and understand that in any of the classes provided it is your responsibility to progress at your own pace. If you experience any pain or discomfort, you will listen to your body, adjust the posture, and ask for support from the teacher. You will continue to breathe smoothly. If at any point you feel overexertion or fatigue, you will respect your body’s limitations and will rest before continuing. 

Yoga and fitness classes are not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis, or treatment. Yoga and exercise is not recommended and are not safe under certain medical conditions. You affirm that you alone are responsible to decide whether to practice yoga or attend fitness classes. You hereby agree to irrevocably release and waive any claims that you have now or hereafter may have against Yoga Motive, its owners, instructors, partners, or employees.

You further acknowledge that you shall not now or at any time in the future bring any legal action against Yoga Motive, its owners, instructors, partners, or employees; and that this waiver is binding on you, your heirs, your spouse, your children, your legal representatives, your successors, and your assigns. You verify that you are physically fit to participate in classes and that you are participating in classes with your doctor’s full approval.

If you are pregnant or become pregnant or are post-natal, you verify that you are participating in classes with your doctor’s full approval.
