Consent / Waiver Language
This waiver text is included at the bottom of the form, above the signature field.
I understand that yoga practice involves physical movements including stretching, balancing, and weight-bearing poses that carry inherent risks of injury. I acknowledge that: (1) I am responsible for practicing within my own limits; (2) I will inform the instructor of injuries or conditions before class; (3) Yoga is not a substitute for medical treatment; (4) Hot yoga carries additional risks including dehydration, heat exhaustion, and dizziness; (5) The instructor may offer physical adjustments — I may opt out at any time. I assume all risks of participation and release the studio, instructors, and their affiliates from liability for injuries during class.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Yoga injuries are more common than people think — wrist sprains, hamstring tears, back injuries, and even neck injuries from headstands and shoulder stands. Hot yoga adds heat-related risks. A waiver protects the studio and instructor from claims when a student pushes beyond their limits or doesn't disclose a pre-existing condition.
Yes. Hands-on adjustments are a common source of yoga injury claims. Many studios now use a consent chip or card system (flip to "yes" or "no" at the start of class). Your waiver should mention adjustments and give students the option to opt out. Some studios have moved to verbal cues only to reduce liability entirely.
They should be. Hot yoga (90-105°F) adds specific risks: dehydration, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, dizziness, and nausea. Your waiver should list these heat-specific risks and advise students to hydrate before class. Pregnant students and people with heart conditions should get medical clearance before hot yoga.
