I hereby agree to the following:

  1. I am participating in yoga classes, health programs, workshops and other wellness, exercise and healing arts activities (collectively, the “Activities”) offered by Ashley Flowers (the Teacher).
  2. I recognize that I must be in good physical and mental health to participate in the Activities. I understand that the Activities require 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 the Teacher reserves the right in its absolute discretion to refuse my participation in an Activity on medical, fitness or other 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 abnormal blood pressure, fainting, heartbeat disorders, physical injury and potentially heart attack. I also understand that I could experience muscle, back and other injuries during exercise. I understand my physical limitations and I take full personal responsibility to stop physical activity before I become ill or injured. I understand that it is my continuing responsibility to inform the 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, which I might incur as a result of participating in the Activities with the Teacher.
  5. In further consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, I knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive any “Claim” (as defined below) I may have against the Teacher for any Claim that I may sustain as a result of participating in the Activities with the Teacher even if the Claim arises from the negligence of the Teacher or anyone else. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Teacher 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 negligence of the Teacher or anyone else. “Claim” includes but is 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 may suffer or that my unborn child may suffer (including any legal fees or expenses) in connection with participation in any Activity.
  6. I, my heirs or legal representatives forever release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue the Teacher for any Claim caused by any negligence or other acts of the Teacher.
  7. In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, I agree to release, indemnify, and hold harmless the owners of any animals involved in the Activities, as well as the owners or operators of the location where the Activities are conducted, from any and all liability, claims, demands, expenses, fees, legal actions, rights of actions for damages, personal injury, mental suffering and distress, or death that may arise directly or indirectly from my participation in the Activities (the Property Owners). I acknowledge and understand that the Property Owners of the animals and the location where the Activities are conducted are not responsible for any injuries or damages that may occur during the Activities, including but not limited to those caused by the animals’ behavior, the condition of the premises, or any other factors.
  8. This agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of Maine.

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 agreeing to 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 assignees may have against the Teacher and Property Owners.
