By attending Madison Outdoor Yoga classes I hereby agree
to the following.
1. I am participating in yoga classes, health programs, workshops and other
wellness, exercise and healing arts activities (collectively, the “Activities”) offered by Madison Outdoor Yoga and/or its owners, instructors, teachers, workshop
presenters, employees and independent contractors.
2. I recognize that I must be in good physical and mental health to participate in
the Activities. I understand that the Activities require physical exertion, and I
represent and warrant that I am physically fit and I have no medical condition
which would prevent my full participation in the Activities. I understand that it is
my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to and regarding my
participation in the Activities. If I have consulted a physician, I have taken the
physician’s advice. I understand that the Studio reserves the right in its absolute
discretion to refuse my participation in an Activity on medical, fitness or other
grounds.
3. I am in proper physical condition to participate in the Activities, and I am aware
that participation could, in some circumstances, result in abnormal blood pressure,
fainting, heartbeat disorders, physical injury and potentially heart attack. I also
understand that I could experience muscle, back and other injuries during exercise.
I understand my physical limitations and am sufficiently self-aware to stop physical
activity before I become ill or injured. I understand that it is my continuing
responsibility to inform the Studio of any previous medical conditions, injuries or
surgeries prior to my first class and any future changes to my medical condition.
4. 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 offered by the
Studio.
5. In further consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, I
knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive any “Claim” (as defined below) I may
have against the Studio, its owners, members, employees, and/or its instructors,
teachers, volunteer staff, interns, workshop presenters, independent contractors,
landlord of the Studio (each, a “Released Party”) for any Claim that I may sustain as a result of participating in the Activities at the Studio even if the Claim arises from the negligence of any Released Party or anyone else. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Released Party from any loss 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 any 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 children may suffer or that my unborn child may suffer (including any legal fees or expenses) in connection with participation in any Activity.
6. 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 a Released Party.
7. This agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws
of the State of Wisconsin. I acknowledge that I have carefully read this release and
waiver of liability and fully understand its contents. I voluntarily and knowingly
agree to the terms and conditions stated herein. I am aware that by signing this
release and waiver of liability, 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.
