Movement + Stillness & YogE LLC Retreat Waiver and Release
PARTICIPATION & RISK: I have chosen to participate in the Costa Rica Soul retreat and recognize that all activities are voluntary. I acknowledge that I understand the nature of the activities I will be participating in and the possibility that despite precautions, accidents and/or physical injury may occur. I understand that not all exercise programs are appropriate for all people and that in not forcing, straining, or overexerting myself while exercising, the risk of injury may be reduced. I acknowledge that activities like yoga and dance carry inherent risks of injury that can't be completely eradicated. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I agree that I will discontinue the activity, and ask for support from the instructors.
By signing, I affirm that the status of my health and physical condition is sufficient to allow me to participate in the physical activity that I am partaking in on the wellness retreat. I agree that I will make the instructor aware of any medical conditions or physical limitations before class. If I am pregnant, become pregnant or I am post-natal or post-surgical, my signature verifies that I have my physician's approval to participate. I also affirm that I alone am responsible to decide whether to practice yoga/dance and my participation is at my own risk. I agree to irrevocably release and waive any claims that I have now or may have hereafter against Movement + Stillness, Shara Kees, YogE LLC, and Erica Gerard and any additional instructors.
In case of an emergency and in the event that my emergency contact cannot be reached, I authorize the staff at Danyasa Eco Retreat with Movement + Stillness, Shara Kees, YogE LLC, and Erica Gerard to obtain whatever medical treatment is deemed necessary for my welfare.
