Participation Waiver

You must read and agree to the below before taking any class run by We Are Kula CIC (trading as Kula).

1. I am participating in classes where I will receive information and instruction about yoga, physical exercise or health. I recognise that exercise requires physical exertion, which can be strenuous and may cause physical injury, and I am fully aware of the risks and hazards involved.

2. I understand that it is my responsibility to consult a medical professional before attending any yoga classes, fitness classes, treatments, trainings or workshops offered by Kula. I confirm I am physically fit and I have no medical condition, which would prevent my full participation in these yoga classes, fitness classes, treatments, trainings or workshops.

3. If I am pregnant, I understand that I participate fully at my own risk and that of my unborn child/children. If pregnant, I will notify the teacher before participating. It's not recommended to practise yoga within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.

4. I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries or damages, known or unknown, which I might incur as a result of participating in the classes and workshops offered by Kula.

5. I knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive any claim I may have against Kula and its employees, instructors/therapists or substitute teachers for injury or damages that I may sustain as a result of participating in the offered classes and workshops.

6a. Whenever possible, suitable modifications or adjustments to the class will be offered. However, these are only suggestions and where a movement feels too difficult for me, or I experience any discomfort, I will not continue.

6b. I understand that from time to time during classes, the instructor may physically adjust students’ form and posture. If I do not want such physical adjustments, 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.

7. I take full and sole responsibility from any liability of loss or damage to personal property associated with classes or any other events.

8. It is possible that classes I attend may be live-streamed, and I understand that the camera is tracking the teacher and there are places where class participants will and will not be in view. I therefore give my permission to potentially be in view. I understand that if I do not want to be in view of a live class, I will inform the teacher, who will try to accommodate this. As Kula is a small space, this may not always be possible.

9. When practising online at home, I understand it is my responsibility to make sure the area around me is clear of any obstructions that may cause damage to me or my home before I start.

I, my heirs or legal representatives forever release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue my instructor or substitute teacher, Kula, or its employees for any injury, illness or accident caused by their negligence or other acts.

I have read the above release and waiver of liability and fully understand its contents, and I voluntarily agree to the terms and conditions set out.
