Acknowledgment of Risk and Waiver of Liability
I acknowledge that I am voluntarily participating in yoga classes.
I understand that yoga involves physical movement, stretching, breathwork, and relaxation techniques, which may carry inherent risks, including but not limited to muscle strain, joint injury, fainting, slips/falls, equipment issues, sprains, dizziness, or more serious health complications and aggravation of existing conditions. I acknowledge that participation in yoga classes or any other fitness exercise classes exposes me to possible risks of personal injury.
I understand the risks associated with the activities offered by GRND yoga LLC and I agree to follow all instructions so that I can safely participate in yoga classes.
I acknowledge that I may participate in classes that are physically demanding, and I am voluntarily choosing to take part in these activities.
Assumption of Responsibility for My Health
I confirm that I am in good health and have no medical conditions that would prevent my safe participation. I certify that I am physically and mentally able to participate in yoga and related activities. I agree that it is my responsibility to consult with a doctor if I have any health concerns, injuries, or medical conditions. I agree to stop participating and inform the instructor immediately if I feel pain, discomfort, dizziness, or unsafe at any time.
Pregnancy and Menstruation
I understand that certain conditions, including but not limited to injury, pregnancy, menstruation, or other health concerns, may affect my ability to safely participate in yoga or fitness classes.
I agree that it is my responsibility to assess my own condition and consult with a medical professional if needed before participating.
I agree to listen to my body, modify exercises as needed, and stop participation at any time if I feel discomfort, pain, dizziness, or unsafe.

Pregnancy: I confirm that I am not currently pregnant. I understand that participation during pregnancy carries significant risk. If I become pregnant, I agree to inform my instructor immediately and understand that participation may not be appropriate.
Menstruation: GRND Yoga LLC recommends that clients avoid intense inversion-based practices during menstruation. Participation during menstruation is at the client’s own discretion and risk. As a courtesy, clients experiencing menstrual discomfort may request a one-time reschedule of a single session within an 8+ class package, subject to instructor approval and standard scheduling availability. This courtesy is not guaranteed and does not apply to memberships, workshops, or other purchases.
