I, agree to the following: 1. I am participating in yoga classes, health programs, Yoga retreats, workshops and other indoor/outdoor exercise and healing arts activities (collectively, the “Activities”) offered by Royal Yoga Studio LLC and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates and/or its owners, instructors, teachers, workshop presenters, employees and independent contractors. 2. I recognize that I must be in good physical and mental health to participate in the Activities. I understand that the Activities may require strenuous physical exertion and I represent and warrant that I am physically fit and I have no medical condition which would prevent my full participation in the Activities. I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to and regarding my participation in the Activities. If I have consulted a physician, I have taken the physician’s advice. I understand that Royal Yoga Studio reserves the right in its absolute discretion to refuse my participation in an Activity on medical or fitness grounds. 3. I am in proper physical condition to participate in the Activities, and I am aware that participation could, in some circumstances, result in elevated or otherwise abnormal blood pressure, fainting, heartbeat disorders, physical injury and other adverse cardiopulmonary conditions, including, but not limited to, a heart attack. I also understand that my participation in the Activities may result in muscle, back, bone or other orthopedic and musculoskeletal injuries. I understand my physical limitations and am sufficiently self-aware to stop physical activity before I become ill or injured. I understand that it is my continuing responsibility to inform Royal Yoga Studio of any previous medical conditions, injuries or surgeries prior to my first class, and any future changes to my medical condition. 4. In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries or damages, known or unknown, including, but not limited to, those set forth in Sections 2 and 3 hereof, which I might incur as a result of participating in the Activities at Royal Yoga Studio. 5. In further consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, I knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive any “Claims” (as defined below) I may have against Royal Yoga, its owners, members, employees, and/or its instructors, teachers, employees, volunteer staff, interns, and/or independent contractors and the landlord of RYS (each, a “Released Party”) for any Claim that I may sustain as a result of participating in the Activities at Royal Yoga Studio even if the Claim arises from the carelessness or negligence of any Released Party or anyone else. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Released Party from any loss or liability incurred in defending any Claim made by me or anyone making a Claim on my behalf, even if the Claim is alleged to, or did result from, the carelessness or negligence of any Released Party or anyone else. 6. Personal Property. Participant acknowledges and agrees that he/she is responsible for his/her equipment and all personal property during any and all Activities and off-location Retreats and that Royal Yoga Stuido is not responsible in any way for such property whether it is lost, stolen or damaged. 7. In addition to and as a part of this Consent, Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, I understand that Royal Yoga Studio recently re-opened following an extended period of closure ordered by government authorities in response to the ongoing COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) pandemic. I understand that COVID-19 (including variations and mutations) is a virus that can cause, among other conditions, severe respiratory illness in individuals who contract it. I will not attend in-studio or any other in-person Activities conducted or organized by or through Royal Yoga if I am exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 (which can include fever, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell), or if I have been exposed to a third party who has exhibited COVID-19 symptoms in the 14 days preceding my participation in the Activities.
I understand and expressly agree that my use of the Royal Yoga Studio or participation in any other in-person Activities conducted or organized by or through Royal Yoga involves the risk that I could contract COVID-19 notwithstanding the mitigation measures in place by Royal Yoga Studio. I understand that these risks are inherent to my use of the studio or participation in such Activities and can range from mild symptoms to major illness, including death. I further understand and voluntarily accept full responsibility on my behalf for the risk of contracting COVID-19. 7. “Claims” include but are not limited to any and all liabilities, claims, demands, expenses, fees, legal actions, rights of actions for damages, personal injury, mental suffering and distress, or death that I may suffer, my children (whether born or unborn), spouse or any other family member may suffer (including any legal fees or expenses) in connection with participation in any Activity. 8. I, my heirs, or legal representatives forever release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue any Released Party for any Claim caused by any negligence or other acts of a Released Party. 9. I understand that Royal Yoga Studio from time to time may photograph or video classes or events occurring at its studio and place such photographs and videos on its marketing and promotional materials, website and/or social media platforms. I consent to the use of my image that may appear in any such photograph or video and acknowledge that I will receive no compensation of any kind. 10. This agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of Michigan. 11. I acknowledge that I have carefully read this release and waiver of liability and fully understand its contents. I voluntarily and knowingly agree to the terms and conditions stated herein. I am aware that by signing this release and waiver of liability, I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue and certain legal rights my heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators and assigns may have against any Released Party.
