Butterfly Yoga Health & Safety Risk & Liability Waiver
Please read before signing
When creating an account and/or attending a Butterfly Yoga class, workshop, course or event, you are agreeing to the following.
Your health
Yoga is physical activity. For most people it is safe, but a few conditions mean you should check with a doctor before taking part.
By signing this waiver, you confirm that none of the following apply to you — OR, if any do, that you understand that it is your responsibility to consult with a medical physician prior to booking any class offered by Butterfly Yoga.
• a bone or joint problem (such as arthritis) that could be aggravated by physical activity;
• high or low blood pressure;
• diabetes or another metabolic condition;
• raised cholesterol;
• a heart condition, or a doctor's advice to only do activity they recommend;
• chest pain during physical activity;
• shortness of breath at rest or with mild exertion;
• frequent faintness, dizziness, or loss of consciousness;
• that you are, or may be, pregnant;
• any other injury, condition, or medication or medical history that could negatively affect the safety of your practice.
If any of these apply, please do not sign — contact us first to discuss on 0221 963 226 so we can make sure you can take part safely.

Acknowledgement of risk
Though unlikely, I understand that participating in any exercise class carries an inherent risk of injury. I agree that I am responsible for any injuries sustained by me as a result of my participation in any classes I attend through Butterfly Yoga. I participate voluntarily and at my own risk. I confirm I am well enough to take part, and I will tell my teacher of any change to my health, or any new issue, before class.
My responsibility in class
I will work within my limits, rest or stop when I need to, and follow the teacher's instructions. If teachers offer hands-on adjustments, I understand that I can decline at any time.
Yoga is not medical advice
Yoga teaching is not medical treatment or a substitute for professional mental or physical healthcare.
Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, I release Butterfly Yoga, its teachers and contractors from liability for loss or injury arising from my participation.
Property
I bring my belongings to classes at my own risk.
Terms & Conditions
I have read and agree to the studio's Terms & Conditions, including the cancellation policy.
