I understand that yoga includes physical movement, strengthening, stretching, as well as an opportunity for relaxation, stress reduction and relief of muscular tension. If at any time during the class I feel discomfort or strain, I agree to gently come out of the posture. I understand that I may rest at any time during the class. 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 and inform my teacher immediately. I, the undersigned, understand that this yoga practice is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis or treatment. Yoga is sometimes not recommended and is not safe under certain medical conditions. I should consult a physician prior to beginning any activity program, including yoga. I recognize that it is my responsibility to notify my teacher of pregnancy, any serious illness or injury before every yoga class. I affirm that I alone am responsible to decide whether to practice yoga. I hereby agree to irrevocably release and waive any claims that I have now or hereafter may have against Solstice Yoga Shala or any teacher affiliated with Solstice Yoga Shala. Those under 18 years of age must have this form completed by a parent or guardian. *
