Anam Cara Yoga Waiver of Release

    Release of Claims and Waiver of Liability Agreement

    Please read and agree below.

    In consideration of my participation in Anam Cara Yoga classes, whether online or in-studio, I acknowledge the following:

    I understand, acknowledge and agree that there are inherent risks associated with Anam Cara Yoga classes. I understand also that no physical activity, including yoga, is risk free. Catherine McEwen, instructing as Anam Cara Yoga, is registered as an experienced yoga teacher with the Yoga Alliance. I understand and acknowledge that injury could occur while I am attending Anam Cara Yoga classes as I will be asked to exert effort, and to perform activities with varying degrees of difficulty, which could cause stress on joints, muscle strains, pulls or tears, pain, serious body injury, heart attack, cardiac arrest, or aggravate an existing condition or injury. I agree that I will do my best to keep myself injury free during Anam Cara Yoga classes by listening to my body and opting out of poses or choosing modifications of poses where my breath becomes halting, and/or there is strain. I fully understand and accept all risks associated to my health and well-being with participation in Anam Cara Yoga classes, and I still desire to participate in these classes, at my own risk.

    WAIVER & RELEASE OF LIABILITY: In reading, acknowledging and accepting the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement, and by my participation in Anam Cara Yoga class, I, on behalf of myself, my heirs and assigns, do hereby waive, release, and forever discharge Catherine McEwen, as owner and teacher of Anam Cara Yoga, and her heirs, and all class teacher assistants, co-facilitators, and/or agents, (collectively as “Released Parties) from any and all manner of actions and causes of action, suits, damages, costs, fees, debts, dues, accounts, bonds, covenants, contracts, judgements, arbitrations, forms of mediation, claims and demands whatsoever, in law or in equity, including, but not limited to, personal injury (including death) and property damages, arising out of, or which may arise out of, or which in anyway relate to, my participation in Anam Cara Yoga classes and any other activities that may occur during the course of these classes (collectively as a ‘Claim”). I further agree to this waiver and release of liability even if the Claim is caused, in whole or in part, by any acts, omissions, negligence or other conduct of the Released Parties.

    I also understand, acknowledge and agree: (a) that before acknowledging and accepting the terms of this Agreement, I carefully read this Agreement and fully understand that it is a wavier and release of liability, and (b) that I have voluntarily entered into this Agreement by my own free will.

    I understand, acknowledge and agree: (a) that this Agreement shall be construed according to and governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada; (b) and by my agreeing to this Agreement as reviewed and endorsed, the Agreement shall be fully enforceable.
