By signing this waiver, I affirm and agree to the following:
1. I understand that yoga includes physical movements, as well as techniques for relaxation, stress reduction, and relief of muscular tension. Yoga classes may include meditation, breathing exercises, and various postures.
2. I understand that Reiki is a form of energy work intended to promote relaxation and overall well-being. Reiki practitioners do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe for any condition. During or after a Reiki session, it is possible to experience effects such as emotional release, feelings of lightheadedness, or physical sensations like tingling. These responses are generally considered normal as the body and mind adjust, but if any discomfort persists, I agree to seek appropriate support or medical guidance.
3. I recognize that neither yoga nor Reiki is a substitute for professional medical attention, examination, diagnosis, or treatment. I agree to consult with my physician about any health concerns or medical conditions before beginning yoga or Reiki. I alone am responsible for deciding whether to participate.
4. I understand that, as part of yoga instruction or Reiki practice, gentle physical touch may be used to assist with posture alignment, provide support, or facilitate relaxation. I acknowledge that my consent to touch is always voluntary, and I have the right to decline or withdraw my consent at any time without penalty. I agree to communicate my preferences regarding touch clearly to my instructor or practitioner.
5. As with any physical or wellness activity, there is an inherent risk of injury, discomfort, adverse reaction, or other harm. I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries, or damages, known or unknown, which I might incur as a result of participating.
6. I release, waive, and discharge Silver Lotus Yoga and Wellness, Jennifer Campbell, and all session facilitators, instructors, organizers, and Reiki practitioners from any and all liabilities arising from my participation in any class, workshop, or session, including but not limited to injury, loss, damage, or death.
7. In the event of a dispute arising out of this agreement that cannot be resolved amicably, I agree to first seek resolution through mediation with a mutually selected mediator, and if necessary, through arbitration.
8. I represent and warrant that I am physically and mentally fit to participate in yoga classes, Reiki sessions, workshops, or activities. I am over 18 years of age and fully capable of giving my informed consent.
By signing this form, I acknowledge that I have read, understood, and accept all terms for yoga and Reiki services. I agree to be legally bound by these provisions.
