SOUL SWEAT HOT YOGA
Participation Agreement, Assumption of Risk & Release of Liability
JayMel, LLC, doing business as Soul Sweat Hot Yoga.
1. Participation in Studio Activities
I choose to take part in activities offered or hosted at Soul Sweat Hot Yoga, such as heated and non-heated yoga, power vinyasa, yin and restorative practices, aerial yoga, workshops, teacher training, and special events, along with other physical or wellness activities. These sessions may be led by employees, independent contractors, guest instructors, or other authorized facilitators.
2. Acknowledgment and Assumption of Risk
I understand that these activities involve inherent risks, including strains, sprains, joint or other musculoskeletal injuries; slips, trips and falls; injuries from inversions, stretching or exertion; dizziness, dehydration, overheating, fainting, heat exhaustion and heatstroke; aggravation of preexisting conditions; and reactions to sound, lighting, fragrances or other conditions. Serious injury, illness or death is possible. Heated and humid environments can increase these risks. I voluntarily assume the inherent and foreseeable risks of participation.
3. Health and Personal Responsibility
I am responsible for assessing whether participation is appropriate for me. I should consult a qualified healthcare professional when appropriate, including for pregnancy, cardiovascular conditions, recent injury or surgery, or other health concerns. I agree to practice within my abilities, communicate relevant limitations when appropriate, modify or discontinue activities as needed, stop if I experience concerning symptoms, and follow reasonable safety instructions. Instructors do not provide medical diagnosis or treatment.
4. Instructor Assistance and Physical Adjustments
Instructors might provide verbal guidance, demonstrations, and optional hands-on adjustments. Physical contact is entirely voluntary, and I can refuse or withdraw consent at any time. Assistance from the instructor does not remove the inherent risks of participation.
5. Emergency Assistance
If a medical emergency occurs, I give Soul Sweat Hot Yoga staff permission to call emergency services and offer reasonable help within their training. Soul Sweat Hot Yoga makes no promise about the availability of medical staff or equipment. I accept responsibility for any costs related to emergency treatment or transportation.
