During yoga classes, workshops, courses, drop-in class, or any similar yoga, health & fitness related event that I choose to participate in (hereinafter referred to as the “Event”), held by The (Yoga) Shala a UMI NMD LIMITADA Company (hereinafter referred to as “The Shala”), I voluntarily and willingly choose to participate in the classes offered by The Shala, including workshops and courses (all such classes are hereto referred to as “Yoga Classes”).

I recognise that the Event and the Yoga Classes in which I will be participating may require physical and mental exertion. I further understand and acknowledge that despite the care taken by The Shala and its intructors, the Event and the Yoga Classes may expose me to many risks, including accidents, injury, illness, and so forth. I assume all risk of injuries associated with my participation in the Event and the Yoga Classes, including but not limited to injuries, strains, contact with other participants, the effects of the weather, including high heat and/or humidity, contact with nature/animals, local food, and all other such risks being known and appreciated by me.

I understand that it is my full responsibility to consult a physician/doctor prior to and regarding my participation in the Event and the Yoga Classes, and I understand The Shala has no medical obligation/responsibility upon its students. Any hospital, clinic or local doctor I may need to attend to are not related to The Shala, and therefore The Shala is not responsible for any medical approach received privately outside of the premises of the school.
-
I represent and warrant that I am physically fit and I have no medical condition, which would prevent my full participation in the Event and Yoga Classes I have applied to join. In the case of having a previous injury, I am completely responsible for the outcome of my participation in the Event and/or Yoga Classes, and I don’t expect The Shala, or any of its instructors to provide me any consultation, treatment or recommendation for my physical condition, at any given time of the Event/Yoga Classes.
-
I understand that in the event of any injury, in need to consult a doctor, or in need of hospitalisation, I shall be responsible for my own treatment and for any fees or amounts related to such consultation or hospitalisation. I also understand that The Shala cannot facilitate contact with external medical resources, neither is it The Shala’s responsibility to acquire/arrange these services for me. I also acknowledge that The Shala’s instructors cannot provide any diagnosis and/or treatment.
-
If I am pregnant, I understand that I participate fully at my own risk and that of my unborn child/children. Also, if I have any injury or medical condition (including but not limited to injuries, heart problems, back or neck problems, asthma, epilepsy, hernia, high blood pressure, and so forth), I understand that I may be not fit to participate in certain Yoga Classes, in which case I will inform The Shala immediately of such condition, and The Shala shall have the full authority to prohibit me from participating in such Yoga Classes, if need be. In any case, whether I have disclosed or have not disclosed such injury or problem, I understand that if despite my injury or condition I still decide to participate in the Yoga Classes, I would be participating fully at my own risk.
-
I understand that from time to time during in-person Yoga Classes, the instructor may physically adjust students’ form and posture, and I hereby accept receiving such adjustments. If I do not want such physical adjustments for any reason whatsoever, notably because of an injury, or any other personal reason, I will so inform the instructor at each class I attend. I also acknowledge that if I do wish to receive such adjustments, it is my responsibility to inform the instructor when an adjustment has gone as far as I desire at that time.

I understand and agree that The Shala may from time to time, as it deems fit, change the course content, schedule, teachers, and any other methodological, technical, or logistic aspect of the Event I am participating in, without previous notice.
