RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY

In consideration of being permitted to participate in any Stretching Classes (for the purposes of this document "Stretching Classes" shall include Stretch Classes, Personalized Classes, Private Sessions, Teacher Trainer, and any other program, workshop or other class that may be offered in the future), I agree to accept and assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries, damages, or losses which may follow any injury, disability, paralysis, or death, however caused while participating in any Stretching Classes, including those risks, injuries, damages, or losses unknown to me at this time or which could not have been reasonably foreseeable, whether caused in whole or in part by any action, inaction, or negligence of any participant, including but not limited to students, instructors, Directors, employees, members, agents, officers, or guests, all for the purposes of this document referred to as Releasees ("Releasees") or otherwise. I also agree that I am fully responsible for the limits of my physical condition and that I will proceed with any Stretching Classes at a pace within the limits of my physical condition. I understand and acknowledge that participating in any Stretching Classes requires physical exertion which may be strenuous and may cause physical injury, and I am fully aware of the risks and hazards involved, including risks and hazards that may be caused by any action, inaction, or negligence of any Releasees or otherwise.

I agree to disclose all existing medical conditions in my medical history and any medical conditions which arise, however minor, during the course of my participation in any Stretching Classes. I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a qualified health practitioner and to duly notify the instructors within 14 days from the day of consultation. After notifying the instructors, it is in the instructors' sole discretion to decide if the medical condition is of the type or nature which could worsen or be affected by participating in yoga in any way. If the instructors believe it is not advisable to continue taking Stretching Classes, the participant will only be permitted to participate with a note from a qualified health practitioner advising the instructors that no adverse health risk will arise from further participation. Reimbursement for any classes missed due to any problem other than a medical condition is at the sole discretion of the instructors.

In further consideration of being permitted to participate in the Stretching Classes, I knowingly, voluntarily, and expressly waive any claim I may have against the Releasees for any injury or damages that I may sustain as a result of participating in Stretching Classes. I HEREBY FOREVER RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE THE RELEASEES from all liability to me, and my parents or legal guardians if I am under the age of eighteen, my personal representatives, assigns, executors, heirs, and next of kin for any and all claims, demands, losses, or damages on account of any injury, including but not limited to my death or damage to my property, caused or alleged, in whole or part, by any negligence or other acts of the Releasees or otherwise.

If I, or my parents or legal guardians if I am under the age of eighteen, make a claim against any of the Releasees, I, or my parents or legal guardians if I am under the age of eighteen, will reimburse the Releasees for any costs and expenses associated with any such claim and hold them harmless.

I expressly agree that this RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by Texas law and that, if any portion of it is held invalid, it is agreed that the remainder shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.

The exercises learned are understood to be for self-help only; if you need medical attention or treatment, consult a qualified health professional.
