Health & Safety Waiver

By booking a yoga class (in-person, or virtual) or other health & healing session with Alice Faulkner/alice faulkner yoga, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to our Health & Safety Waiver/Declaration:

I agree to the following:

  1. I acknowledge I am participating in yoga classes or other health & healing sessions offered by Alice Faulkner/alice faulkner yoga during which I will receive information and instruction about yoga, physical exercise or health & healing.

  2. I recognise that exercise, including yoga, requires physical exertion, which may be strenuous, and that  I voluntarily participate in a session with full knowledge that even if the teacher and any other teacher involved in the session is not negligent there is an inherent risk of personal injury or illness arising from my participation in any exercise program, and use of specialist equipment.

  3. I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries or programmes offered by my instructor or substitute teacher, and I knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive any claim I may have against my instructor or substitute teacher for injury or damages that I may sustain as a result of participating in these programmes.

  4. I understand that it if I have any concerns regarding my health or fitness it is my responsibility to seek appropriate advice from the relevant medical health professional or adviser prior to and regarding my participation in the yoga classes, health programs or workshops offered by my instructor or substitute teacher.

  5. I represent and warrant that I am physically fit and well enough to participate in any session that I book, and I  will at all times be responsible for my own state of health, physical condition and wellbeing. I also recognise that certain activities may be unsuitable for me due to my existing medical, health or fitness problems or conditions.

  6. 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 class, then I am doing so at my own discretion.

  7. When practising using online/virtual classes I accept full responsibility for my practice space and the health & safety precautions within this space. And I am aware that the teacher may not be able to supervise, observe and assist me as closely, and therefore I take responsibility for my own practice.

  8. If I am pregnant I understand that I participate fully at my own risk and that of my unborn child/children. And I will inform my yoga teacher, or substitute teacher, if I am pregnant, and notably if I am in the first 3 months of my pregnancy.

  9. I will not attend any session when under the influence of alcohol, or illegal drugs, or immediately following a heavy meal.

  10. I will arrive at least 5 minutes prior to the start time of a session. If I arrive later than a session start time and after any warm-up for that session has begun, I will not be permitted to participate in the session for health and safety reasons.

  11. I understand that from time to time during yoga classes, the instructor may physically adjust students’ form and posture. If I do not want such physical adjustments, I will inform the instructor at each class I attend. I also acknowledge that it is my responsibility to inform the instructor when an adjustment has gone as far as I desire at that time.

  12. I hereby take full and sole responsibility from any liability of loss or damage to personal property associated with yoga classes or any other events.
