Liability Waiver

YOGA WAIVER AGREEMENT

Why You are Reading This Document

The purpose of this release and waiver (the “Waiver”) is to openly communicate the risks of practicing yoga together, either in person or online, and have you release Devanadi Yoga of any liability. Please be aware that if you do not sign this Waiver and agree to its terms, we cannot let you participate in our classes.

If you are under the Age of Majority in the State of Minnesota (18 years old), your legal guardian must also sign this Waiver on your behalf.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY, UNDERSTAND FULLY, AND ASK QUESTIONS IF ANYTHING IS UNCLEAR. WE ARE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU. MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THIS WAIVER. BY SIGNING THIS YOU AGREE YOU ARE SIGNING AWAY YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

1.    Parties. We will refer to Thai Yoga Bodywork, LLC (dba Devanadi Yoga), a Limited Liability Company registered in the State of Minnesota, as “Devanadi Yoga”, “us” or “we” and we’ll refer to you, the undersigned (electronically or by hand) or person who has clicked “I Agree” to this Waiver, as “you” or “your”.

2.    The Activities. We offer supportive and welcoming yoga and exercise classes, including Hatha Yoga classes, Workshops, Series, Privates, and more, all of which may involve but are not limited to the following activities (the “Activities”):

2.1.  During class we might do yoga poses and other yogic practices as well as body weight exercises and creative movement, breathing exercises and meditation. The constant in all these classes is that the activities involve stretching and performing yoga poses. The Activities may involve receiving adjustments from instructors, so please advise your teacher in advance if you do not want adjustments.

2.2.  The Activities also apply to any yoga and exercise classes which are made available for online streaming and participation. As these classes will be taking place outside of Devanadi Yoga’ facilities, we need you to acknowledge that you are responsible for the safe facilitation of the Activities.

3.    Equipment. In the course of the Activities, you may use a variety of equipment, which may include but is not limited to: yoga blocks, bolsters, straps, mats, resistance bands, pillows, dumbbells, foam rollers and massage balls (the “Equipment”). Please do not use any equipment not instructed by Devanadi Yoga.

4.    Inherent Risks. You understand that participating in the Activities poses inherent risks, some more obvious/serious than others. These risks can result in serious harm and injuries that could change your quality of life and, in exceedingly rare and extreme circumstances, may even result in death.

4.1.  Injuries include but are not limited to things like muscle tears, strains and other musculoskeletal injuries, sprains, broken bones, cardiovascular complications, dehydration, dizziness, and fainting.

4.2.  Exposure to and contraction of COVID-19 or other communicable diseases passed on via other participants and use of shared space, surfaces, or Equipment.

4.3.  There are additional risks posed by participating in the Activities online, as there is no in-person supervision or space provided for you, and you will therefore need to ensure the safety of the Activities, using your judgment how to best practice them, not pushing yourself too far or attempting anything you feel unsure how to perform.

5.    Affirmation of Health. By participating in any Activities at Devanadi Yoga, you affirm that you have sought medical advice regarding your fitness to practice yoga. If you have not sought such advice, you must be certain that your medical and fitness levels are sufficient to participate in advanced level yoga.

5.1.  COVID-19 / Infectious Disease. Amidst the current developments surrounding communicable diseases, you acknowledge that every time you participate in the Activities you are affirming that you are healthy and that you do not present an increased risk due to COVID-19 or other infectious diseases. If you are suffering from symptoms of a communicable disease or are unsure of your health and ability to practice the Activities, please consult with your doctor and we urge you not to visit our studio or participate in our Activities. We are all in this together and it is important that we follow guidelines on social distancing, hygiene practices, and act with kindness and responsibility towards each other to ensure everyone’s safety.

6.    Voluntary Assumption of Risk. You have read this Waiver and understand the risks of participating in the Activities with Devanadi Yoga. Your signature below, electronic signature or clicking 'I Agree’, and your participation in the classes at Devanadi Yoga illustrates your voluntary engagement and assumption of the risks of the Activities.  

7.    Release, Waiver, and Indemnity. You hereby release Devanadi Yoga, its members, directors, officers, contractors, employees, volunteers, agents, executors, administrators, successors, family members and assigns (the “Released Parties”) from any liability and damages arising from death or personal injuries, including the contraction of COVID-19 or other communicable diseases, however caused including as a result of Devanadi Yoga’ negligence, during your participation in the Activities at Devanadi Yoga. You are releasing the Released Parties at your own risk and you agree to forfeit any and all forms of legal recourse which may be available to you, including but not limited to any form of damages, as a result of your participation in the Activities. You agree that these provisions above apply to you, your family, heirs, executors, or anyone else who may be able to bring a legal action on your behalf in the future.  

I hearby declare myself physically and mentally sound and capable of participation in those activities, programs, and classes.

By being a student at our school, you agree to grant us the irrevocable right to use your image, likeness, photographs, video content, audio recordings of you captured in our studio or that you share with us online (via your own or others posting of you) as part of our online streaming, marketing and sales throughout the world and in perpetuity. You also release us from all claims you may have relating to the use mentioned in this section. Please let us know If you ever want us to stop using an image of you.

9.    Continued Agreement. Agreement to this Waiver will act as your continued agreement to all ensuing classes, sessions and/or workshops whether in person, online, or via video conferencing tool made available at Devanadi Yoga. 

10.  General Legal Provisions. Jurisdiction. This Waiver will be governed exclusively by the laws of the State of Minnesota. Severability. If any provisions of this Waiver are invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions in the Waiver will remain in full force and effect. Entire Agreement. This Waiver constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and replaces any prior agreements. Headings.
