Yoga Release Agreement & Liability Waiver I understand that yoga includes physical movements as well as an opportunity for relaxation, stress reduction, and relief of muscular tension. I understand I will receive information and instruction; including verbal and physical adjustments, about yoga and health. As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. It is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to my participation in the yoga class. I represent and warrant that I am physically fit and I have no medical condition that would prevent my full participation in the yoga class. I am aware I may be physically adjusted. I agree to take full responsibility for any risks, loss, claim, injury, damage or liability, known or unknown, which I might incur as a result of participating in the program. Yoga is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis or treatment. Yoga is not recommended and is not safe under certain medical conditions. I affirm that I alone am responsible to decide whether to practice yoga. I knowingly, voluntarily, and expressly agree to accept full responsibility and assume the risk for my use of or participation in any and all classes, activities, apparatus, appliance, facility privilege or service, of any nature, which is owned or operated by Kari O’Driscoll or Josefdottir LLC. While engaging in any class or activity operated, organized, arranged or sponsored by Kari O’Driscoll, either on or off their premises, I shall do so at my own risk, and hold Kari O’Driscoll and Josefdottir LLC forever harmless from any and all loss, claim, injury, damage, or liability sustained or incurred by me. I specifically agree to indemnify and hold harmless Kari O’Driscoll and Josefdottir LLC as to any loss, cost, claim, injury, damage or liability, sustained or incurred by participating in the classes, or through my use of the facilities or equipment of Kari O’Driscoll or Josefdottir LLC which is caused by an act or omission, whether negligent, intentional or otherwise, of an employee, representative, or agent of Kari O’Driscoll or Josefdottir LLC. I, my heirs, or legal representative forever release waive, discharge and covenant not to sue Kari O’Driscoll or Josefdottir LLC for any injury or death caused by my participation in the yoga class. My signature below constitutes my full acceptance of this waiver. I have read the release and waiver of liability and fully understand its content.

Meditation Release Agreement & Liability Waiver Nothing is without risk and the journey into mindfulness is no exception. I understand that mindfulness and meditation education, training, and practice are not substitutes for medical or mental health treatment. If I am working with a health professional, I agree to speak with them about the advisability of incorporating mindfulness practices before engaging in any services with Kari O’Driscoll or Josefdottir LLC. Although mindfulness can be a helpful complement to treatment, I understand that adverse effects may arise in certain circumstances. In addition to creating opportunities for equanimity, relaxation, and peace, I understand that these practices can lead to an acute awareness of unpleasant thoughts, intense emotions, or uncomfortable body sensations, and that these difficult experiences can also be a part of a mindfulness practice. If I find myself struggling with my experience during a session, I agree to discontinue the practice, do what I need to in order to care for myself, and ask my guide for support. I am participating in classes or services during which I will receive information and instruction about meditation. I recognize that I may also choose to do physical movement, such as sitting, standing and walking meditation. I represent and warrant that I have no physical or mental health condition that would prevent my safe participation in meditation classes. In consideration of being permitted to participate in the meditation classes, I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries, or damages, known and unknown, which I might incur as a result of participating in the program. In further consideration of being permitted to participate in the meditation classes, I knowingly, voluntarily, and expressly waive any claim I may have against Kari O’Driscoll or a designated representative of Josefdottir LLC, or the owner or the leaseholder of the building, for injuries or damages that I may sustain as a result of participating in classes or workshops. I have read the release and waiver of liability and fully understand its content. My participation in a meditation class or session indicates that I voluntarily agree to the terms and conditions stated above. |
Reiki Release Agreement & Liability Waiver I understand that Reiki is a gentle, hands-on energy technique used for stress reduction and relaxation. I understand that Reiki practitioners do not diagnose conditions nor do they prescribe or perform medical treatment, prescribe substances, nor interfere with the treatment of a licensed medical professional. I understand that Reiki does not take the place of medical care. It is recommended that I see a licensed physician or licensed health care professional for any physical or psychological ailment I may have. I understand that Reiki can complement any medical or psychological care I may be receiving. I also understand that the body has the ability to heal itself and to do so, complete relaxation is often beneficial. I acknowledge that long term imbalances in the body sometimes require multiple sessions in order to facilitate the level of relaxation needed by the body to heal itself. I understand that the practitioner will be remotely sending energy to me for the duration of my Reiki session(s). I assume sole responsibility for my own health and for the results of any sessions provided by Kari O’Driscoll that may affect my health in any way. Treatment(s) will not replace conventional medical diagnosis or treatment. I will continue taking medication prescribed by a licensed medical physician and will continue to follow his/her instructions. I release Kari O’Driscoll from all legal liability during my participation in the Reiki treatment(s), as well as the locations where Kari O’Driscoll offers Reiki.. All information received by me from Kari O’Driscoll is accepted with full knowledge that any action taken by me as a result of the information received is my complete responsibility. I have read the release and waiver of liability and fully understand its content. My participation in a Reiki session indicates that I voluntarily agree to the terms and conditions stated above. |
