In consideration of the services of PRACTICEWITHNIKKI.COM, including, but not limited to its agents, owners, officers, volunteers, participants, employees, affiliates, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on its behalf (hereinafter collectively referred to as “PRACTICEWITHNIKKI.COM”), I HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO IRREVOCABLY RELEASE AND WAIVE, INDEMNIFY, AND DISCHARGE PRACTICEWITHNIKKI.COM OF ANY AND ALL PAST, PRESENT, OR FUTURE CLAIMS ON BEHALF OF MYSELF, MY CHILDREN, MY PARENTS, MY HEIRS, ASSIGNS, PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES/AGENTS, AND ESTATE AS FOLLOWS:
 
1. I ACKNOWLEDGE that 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 TO ME OR TO THIRD PARTIES, 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, adjust the posture, and, if necessary, ask for support from the teacher or staff. I will continue to breathe smoothly. I ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE that I may be exposed to various weather if I choose to participate in outdoor classes, and should that be the case, I ASSUME ALL RISKS (which may include, among other things, dehydration, sun exposure, insects, grasses, pollen, muscle strain or joint stress due to uneven ground surfaces) AND UNDERSTAND IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP MYSELF COMFORTABLE.
 
2. I further acknowledge and agree that yoga is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis or treatment. Yoga is not recommended and is not safe under certain medical conditions.
