I agree as follows:
1) I understand that there is an inherent risk associated with any exercise program including my voluntary participation in yoga classes that may result in injury. The specific risks range from minor injuries such as scratches, bruises, and sprains to major injuries such as back injuries, heart attacks, or even catastrophic injuries such as paralysis and death. The exercises related to yoga will challenge my cardio-respiratory and musculoskeletal systems associated with the aerobic, anaerobic, strength, power, agility, flexibility and breathing components of the program. I understand and am aware that the components of exercise/yoga are potentially hazardous activities and may cause injury, including those listed above.
2) I acknowledge that I have either had a physical examination and/or have been given permission from my physician to participate in a yoga-based exercise program or that I have decided to participate in an exercise/yoga program voluntarily and without the approval of my physician and do hereby assume all responsibility for my participation in any programs, classes, workshops, or exercise/yoga activity associated with Jenny Hannah Yoga.
3) I certify that I am physically well and suffering from no medical problems, conditions, impairments, diseases, or any other illness that would prevent my full participation or unreasonably increase my risk of injury and/or illness as a result of partaking in any programs, classes, workshops, or exercise/yoga activity. I further understand my physical limitations and am sufficiently self-aware to stop physical activity before I become ill or injured.
4) I, my children, heirs, or legal representative do hereby forever waive and release Jenny Hannah Yoga, its members, teachers, agents, employees, and volunteers from any and all liability and responsibility from injury accident, illness, loss of property, legal and/or medical fees sustained now or in the future resulting from my participation in any programs, classes, workshops, or exercise/yoga activity, or use of any Jenny Hannah facilities or equipment. I am aware of and specifically waive the provision of the California Civil Code, Section 1542, which provides as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”
5) I understand that Jenny Hannah Yoga may provide an area for personal belongings to be held during programs, classes, workshops, or exercise/yoga activity. However, I agree that Jenny Hannah Yoga (including its teachers, members, agents, employees, and volunteers) is in no way responsible for the loss, damage, or theft of my belongings while I attend any programs, classes, workshops, or exercise/yoga activity.
6) I acknowledge that I have read this waiver of liability form. I fully understand its terms and conditions, and understand that I am waiving and giving up my right to sue Jenny Hannah Yoga, its teachers, members, agents, and employees and hereby waive and discharge all claims I may have, now or in the future, related to my participation in any programs, classes, workshops, or exercise/yoga activity, or use of any Jenny Hannah Yoga facilities or equipment. I acknowledge that I am signing this agreement voluntarily, and intend by my signature for this to be a complete and unconditional release of liability to the greatest extent allowable by law. I also acknowledged that if any portion of this agreement is held invalid, it is agreed that all other terms and provisions shall continue in full legal force and effect.
7) I understand that this agreement applies whenever I participate in any Jenny Hannah Yoga programs, classes, workshops, or exercise/yoga activity, or use of any Jenny Hannah Yoga facilities or equipment, now or in the future, unless I explicitly revoke this agreement in writing.
By signing below I agree with these terms.
