I acknowledge that there are risks and dangers that cannot be eliminated in this work, and even if a risk or danger could have been eliminated, this does not always occur.
-
I represent and warrant that I am physically fit and have no medical condition that would prevent my full participation in Yoga, Meditation and/or Reiki programs. I will advise Dora Chan Yoga instructors of any and all physical and emotional conditions that could be affected by Yoga, Meditation, Reiki and Dora Chan Yoga offerings.

I agree to follow instructions carefully and to immediately stop any activity that causes me any unacceptable discomfort, emotional distress or pain. I will report this to the instructor during and at the end of the program.

I release the instructor, substitute instructors, assistants, facility, Dora Chan Yoga and its directors, officers, advisors and employees (referred to as ‘Providers’) from all actions, causes, claims, suits, damages and liabilities arising out of, or connected with, my participation in Yoga, Meditation, Reiki and Dora Chan Yoga programs including, but not limited to, personal physical, mental or emotional injury, illness (including death) and/or loss of property.
