Filly Lane Yoga Waiver Release Form
I understand that yoga includes physical movements as well as an opportunity for relaxation,
stress reduction and relief of muscular tension. Participation in yoga class includes, but is not
limited to, participation in meditation techniques, yogic breathing techniques, and performing
various yoga postures. Yoga postures, or asanas, are designed to exercise every part of the
body-stretching and toning the muscles and joints, the spine and the entire skeletal system.
They also work on the internal organs, glands and nerves. Yoga incorporates sustained
stretching to strengthen muscles and increase flexibility. Yoga is an individual experience.
As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always
present and cannot be entirely eliminated. My signature acknowledges I understand that in yoga
class I will progress at my own pace. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will listen to my
body, adjust the posture and ask for support from the yoga teacher (the “Teacher”). I will
continue to breathe smoothly. If at any point I feel overexertion or fatigue, I will respect my
body’s limitations and I will rest before continuing yoga practice.
Yoga is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis or treatment. Yoga is not
recommended and is not safe under certain medical conditions. I affirm that I alone am
responsible to decide whether to practice yoga.
By signing my name below, I acknowledge that participation in yoga classes exposes me to a
possible risk of personal injury. I am fully aware of this risk. I hereby consent to receive medical
treatment that may be deemed advisable in the event of injury, accident and/or illness during
any yoga class.
I hereby take action for myself, my executors, administrators, heirs, next of kin, successors and
assigns as follows: I (a) irrevocably WAIVE, RELEASE AND DISCHARGE FROM ANY AND
ALL LIABILITY for my death, disability, personal injury, property damage, property theft or
actions of any kind which hereafter may occur to me, including my traveling to and from yoga
classes, Teacher and yoga class location, who is hosting these classes and where sessions are
being held, and each of their directors, officers, employees, volunteers, representatives and
agents; and (b) INDEMNIFY, HOLD HARMLESS AND AGREE NOT TO SUE the entities or
persons mentioned in this paragraph as to any and all liabilities or claims made as a result of
participation in the yoga classes, whether caused by the negligence of releases or otherwise.
My signature further acknowledges that I shall not now or at any time in the future bring any
legal action against Teacher and/or this location; and that this waiver is binding on me, my heirs,
my spouse, my children, my legal representatives, my successors and my assigns. My
signature verifies that I am physically fit to participate in yoga classes and a licensed medical
doctor has verified my physical condition for participation in this type of class.
If I am pregnant or become pregnant or am postnatal, my signature verifies that I am
participating in yoga classes with my doctor’s full approval. I realize that I am participating in
yoga classes at my own risk.
The Filly Lane Yoga Waiver Release Agreement shall be construed broadly to provide a release
and waiver to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law. I acknowledge that this
Student Waiver Agreement form will be used by the persons or entities being released in the
yoga classes and that it will govern my actions and responsibilities in said classes. I hereby
certify that I have read this document; and, I understand its content. I am aware that this is a
release of liability as well as a contract and I sign it of my own free will. I also understand at the
yoga classes or related activities, I may be photographed. I agree to allow my photo, video or
film likeness to be used for any legitimate purposes by the Teacher.
