Student Waiver
I understand that yoga and hiking includes physical movements that may be strenuous, as well as an opportunity for relaxation, stress re-education 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. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will listen to my body, discontinue the activity, and ask for support from the instructor. I understand that hikes and classes held outdoors may involve inherent risks outside of the control of the instructor. I assume full responsibility for any and all damages that may incur through participation.
Yoga is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis, or treatment. Yoga is not recommended and is not safe under certain medical conditions. By signing, I affirm that a licensed physician has verified my good health and physical condition to participate in such a fitness program. In addition, I will make the instructor aware of any medical conditions or physical limitations before class. If I am pregnant, become pregnant, or I am post-natal or post-surgical, my signature verifies that I have my physician's approval to participate and that I understand my physical limitations and will modify my participation accordingly. I also affirm that I alone am responsible to decide whether to practice yoga and participation is at my own risk. I hereby agree to irrevocably release and waive any claims that I have now or may have hereafter against Nicole Klemas, NPK Yoga, its assistant instructors, and the facility/location of the class I am participating in.
I have read and fully understand and agree to the above terms of this Liability Waiver Agreement. I am signing this agreement voluntarily and recognize that my signature serves as complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law in the State of California.
