Online Yoga Waiver

I am delighted to have you in class. The following information will help you get the most out of your class and clarify my role as a Yoga Teacher.

1.    All exercise programs involve a risk of injury. By choosing to participate in my class, you voluntarily assume a certain risk of injury. The following guidelines will help you reduce your risk of injury:

·      Listen to and follow my guidance, but stay with your own limits and inner signals. Everyone’s practice will be different.

·      Breathe smoothly and continuously as you move and stretch; do not hold your breath or strain to attain any position.

·      Respect your body’s abilities and limits.

·      Don’t perform postures or movements that are painful.

·      Ask me if you are unsure how to adjust the practice for your unique bodysystem.

·1.      Yoga is not a substitute for medical or psychological attention, examination, diagnosis or treatment. Yoga is not recommended and is not safe under certain conditions. By signing, I affirm that a licensed physician has verified my good health and physical condition to participate in such a program. In addition, I will make the instructor aware of any medical or conditions or physical limitations before class. 

·  2.    If I am pregnant, become pregnant or I am post-natal or post-surgical, my signature verifies that I have my physician's approval to participate. 

3.    It is advisable to consult your healthcare provider before embarking on any exercise program. Yoga is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis, or treatment.

4.    Awareness is fundamental to the practice of yoga. It is your responsibility as a client to monitor each activity and determine whether it is appropriate for you to participate. Though I am your teacher, you remain primarily responsible for your safety and well-being. As a professional, I am responsible for providing competent therapeutic yoga and instruction. 

5.    I am fully aware that an online yoga class is distinctly different compared to participating in a class under a teacher’s guidance. I hold myself fully responsible for my online participation and make sure that my place of practice is as safe as possible.

I also affirm that I alone am responsible to decide whether to practice yoga and participation is at my own risk. I hereby agree to irrevocably release and waive any claims that I have now or may have hereafter against Deborah King.

I understand that yoga includes physical movements as well as an opportunity for relaxation, stress re-education and relief of muscular tension. As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will listen to my body, discontinue the activity, and ask for support from the instructor. I will continue to breathe smoothly. I assume full responsibility for any and all damages, which may incur through participation. 


I have read and fully understand and agree to the above terms of this Waiver Agreement. My affirmation serves as complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law in the State of Washington.
