1. I am voluntarily participating in yoga classes, mindfulness exercises and healing arts activities (collectively, the “Activities”) offered by Lindsay Linegar (the “Teacher” or “Released Party”). The Activities may be offered at a designated public or private location, or offered online by video conferencing software (such as Zoom), videos, television, podcasts, apps or other digital media or platforms. All of such offerings, either physical or online, shall be considered and hereinafter referred to as “Activities.”
2. I recognize that I must be in adequate physical and mental health to participate in the Activities. I understand that the Activities may require intense physical exertion, and I represent and warrant that I am physically fit enough to participate, no medical professional has advised me not to participate, and I have no medical condition which would prevent my full participation in the Activities. I recognize that the Activities may cause or aggravate a physical injury or medical condition. I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician before my participation in the Activities. If I have done so, I have taken the physician’s advice. I understand that I can discontinue my participation at any time. I understand that the Teacher reserves the right to refuse my participation in any Activity on medical, fitness or any other grounds.
3. In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, 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 Activities, including those which may result from the negligence of the Teacher.
4. In further consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, I knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive any Claim I may have against the Released Party that I may sustain as a result of participating in the Activities even if the Claim arises from the negligence of Released Party or anyone else. “Claim” includes but is not limited to any and all liabilities, claims, demands, expenses, fees, legal actions, rights of actions for damages, personal injury, mental suffering and distress, or death that I may suffer, my spouse, children or unborn child may suffer (including any legal fees or expenses) in connection with participation in any Activity. I understand and expressly assume that there are risks related to physical exercise and the Activities including, but not limited to, reactions of the heart, lung and blood vessel system, abnormalities of blood pressure or heart rate, musculoskeletal strains, pain and injury. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Released Party from any loss, cost, or liability incurred in defending any Claim made by me or anyone making a Claim on my behalf, even if the Claim is alleged to or did result from the negligence of Released Party or anyone else.
5. I, my heirs or legal representatives forever release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue any Released Party for any Claim caused by any negligence or other acts of any Released Party.
6. I hereby understand that the Teacher from time to time may photograph, video, audio, or otherwise record Activities and place such photographs and videos on its Website or social media platform. I hereby consent to the use of my image that may appear in any such photograph or video.
7. By consenting to this Agreement, you agree that you are required to resolve any claim that you may have against Released Party on an individual basis in arbitration, as set forth in this Agreement. This will preclude you from bringing any class, collective, or representative action against Released Party, and also preclude you from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against Released Party by someone else.
I acknowledge that I have carefully read this agreement and fully understand its contents. I voluntarily and knowingly agree to the terms and conditions stated herein. I am aware that by signing this agreement, I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue and certain legal rights my heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators and assigns may have against any Released Party.
