I agree to the following:

General Participation

  • I acknowledge I am participating in yoga classes, Reiki sessions, health & healing workshops, or retreats offered by Alice Faulkner / alice faulkner yoga. These sessions may involve physical exertion, and Reiki sessions may involve non-invasive energy work.

  • I recognise that any exercise, including yoga, can be strenuous, and that even in the absence of negligence, there is an inherent risk of personal injury or illness.

  • I represent and warrant that I am physically fit and well enough to participate and will be responsible for my own health and well-being throughout.

Modifications & Self-Care

  • I recognise that I am responsible for choosing and taking suitable modifications within my practice, and if I choose to divert from the general instructions of the session, I do so at my own discretion.

Reiki, Workshops & Retreats

  • I understand that Reiki sessions involve non-invasive energy work and while they are intended to promote relaxation and healing, I am participating at my own risk and responsibility.

  • I acknowledge that workshops and retreats may include a range of activities that could involve physical, mental, or emotional exertion. I am responsible for taking appropriate precautions regarding my physical and emotional health and inform Alice Faulkner / alice faulkner yoga if I have any concerns.

  • I will arrive at least 5 minutes before the start of a session. If I arrive after the session has started, I understand that I will not be permitted to join for health and safety reasons.

  • I understand that the instructor may make physical adjustments to my posture during class and that I am responsible for informing the instructor if I do not wish to receive such adjustments, and that it is my responsibility to inform the instructor when an adjustment has gone as far as I desire at that time.

  • I understand that Yoga In The Woods is a weather-dependent practice and will come prepared with suitable clothing, including waterproof layers. I take responsibility for managing my temperature during practice.
