Participation, Informed Consent & Liability Waiver

Thank you for joining this workshop. Please read the following information carefully before participating.

This agreement is intended to apply to both individual workshops and multi-session yoga series. By submitting this form, you acknowledge the nature of the practices offered, the inherent risks of participation, and your right to make choices about your own practice.

Participant Information

About the practice

Wild Ember LLC workshops may include physical yoga postures (asana), movement, stretching, balance, strengthening, restorative practices, relaxation, breath awareness or breathing practices (pranayama), meditation, mindfulness, guided awareness, and other embodied practices.

The specific practices offered will vary depending on the workshop or series. Participants may be offered different options, modifications, props, or levels of participation.

Participation is always voluntary. You may pause, rest, modify, choose an alternative, or discontinue any practice at any time.

Your Practice & Your Choice

I understand that yoga is a voluntary physical and mind-body practice. I am responsible for listening to my own body and working within my abilities and limitations. I may modify, skip, rest from, or discontinue any practice at any time, without explanation.

I understand that yoga involves inherent risks, including but not limited to muscle soreness, strains, sprains, falls, loss of balance, aggravation of existing conditions or injuries, dizziness, and other physical or emotional responses to movement, breathwork, meditation, or relaxation.

I understand that the instructor's guidance is general instruction and is not a substitute for individualized medical advice. I am responsible for determining whether participation is appropriate for me and agree to consult a healthcare professional when appropriate.

Workshops & Professional Boundaries

Some yoga practices and philosophies overlap with concepts or techniques used in psychotherapy, including mindfulness, breath awareness, and body awareness. In this setting, I understand that the instructor is acting as a yoga instructor, not as my therapist. This workshop is not psychotherapy, counseling, or mental health treatment, and participation does not establish a therapist-client relationship.

Assumption of Risk & Release

By participating, I voluntarily assume the risks associated with the workshop and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, release and hold harmless Wild Ember LLC, the instructor, and the facility and their respective owners, employees, agents, and representatives from claims arising from my participation, including claims based on ordinary negligence, except where such liability cannot legally be waived.

This release does not apply to gross negligence, intentional misconduct, or other liability that cannot legally be released.
