TERMS & CONDITIONS

All clients and visitors must complete and sign our standard release waiver before participating in any classes or events at the studio. We expect that if you have any medical concerns regarding practicing yoga, you have already discussed these concerns with a qualified and licensed doctor.
 
Make every effort to arrive on time and no later than 5 minutes after the start of class in respect for other participants. If you are late, please enter and set up your space quietly and tune in before participation. 
 
Leave cell phones and devices in car, turn it off, or place on airplane mode or silent. Vibrate mode is not an acceptable option and will disrupt the class and your own ability to stay present in your practice. Absolutely no answering the phone in during class, even if class has not yet started. Studio reserves the right to have anyone who breaks this rule to leave without refund. 

LIABILITY WAIVER

If you have created an account with us through MindBody, then you may have already signed the waiver of liability. You will also be signing it on paper when you arrive for the first time. For your convenience and reference, below is what you will be signing. 

We invite you to enthusiastically approach your personal practice. However, we encourage you to use care when determining your own ability to do the exercises offered in our sessions. Do not aggravate an existing injury. If you have a doubt as to whether yoga would be recommended if you have a particular injury or condition, please consult your health care professional. The instruction and advice presented in our sessions, and/ or in any class you may attend that is taught by Urban Yoga Chicago and its representatives is not meant to be used in lieu of professional medical or psychological care for the treatment of any condition. There are certain limitations to the practice of yoga for pregnant and menstruating women. Please exercise personal responsibility and ask questions until you understand the answers. 

In checking the box below I agree to the following:
  1. That I am participating in yoga classes and workshops offered by Urban Yoga Chicago during which I will receive information about yoga and wellness. I recognize that yoga involves physical movements as well as an opportunity for relaxation, re-education and relief of muscular tension. As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. I am fully aware of the risks and hazards involved. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will listen to my body, adjust the posture and ask for support from the teacher. I will breathe smoothly. 
  2. I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to and regarding my participation in yoga classes and workshops and that yoga is no substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis and treatment. I represent and warrant that I am physically fit and I have no medical condition which would prevent my full participation in yoga classes and workshops offered by Urban Yoga Chicago.
  3. In consideration of being permitted to participate in yoga class or workshop, I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries or damages, known or unknown, which I might incur as a result of participating in the program. I understand that yoga practice and/or specific poses are not recommended for individuals with certain conditions (i.e. cardiac illness, pregnancy, post-surgery). I affirm that I alone am responsible to decide whether to practice yoga and therefore assume the risk of yoga practice and release Urban Yoga Chicago and the teacher(s) employed or subcontracted by Urban Yoga Chicago from any liability claims. 
  4. In further consideration of being permitted to participate in yoga classes and workshops offered by Urban Yoga Chicago, I knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive any claim I may have against Urban Yoga Chicago, Joyce Doppelt (Savitree Kaur), Tijen Dyson (Jodh Kaur) and any instructors employed or subcontracted by Urban Yoga Chicago for injury or damages that I may sustain as a result of participating in the program. 
  5. I, my heirs or legal representatives forever release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue for any injury or death caused by their negligence or other acts. 
  6. I have read and fully understand its contents, and I voluntarily agree to the terms and conditions stated above.
