Assumption of Risk, Waiver of Liability, Indemnification & Disclosure.

I am participating in yoga classes or services (referred to as “yoga”) offered by Homestead Yoga LLC, including its premises, affiliates, facilities, owners, instructors, volunteers, independent contractors, and general staff (collectively, “Homestead”), entirely of my own volition and assume all associated risks. I understand that yoga involves physical exertion that may be strenuous and could potentially cause or exacerbate physical injuries. I am fully aware of these risks and willingly accept them. I affirm that I am in good physical health and do not have any medical conditions that would preclude my full participation in Homestead's services. I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician before engaging in yoga. While on Homestead's premises or participating in yoga, I agree to adhere to all of Homestead’s policies, rules, and procedures, whether they are posted, written, verbal, or otherwise communicated.

I knowingly, voluntarily, and explicitly waive, relinquish, and forgo any claims or causes of action against Homestead, including but not limited to its owners, officers, directors, partners, volunteers, independent contractors, employees, and staff (collectively, “Releasees”), for any and all illnesses, injuries, damages, or death that I, or my family, spouse, estate, heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns may suffer as a result of my participation in yoga or presence at Homestead.

On behalf of myself, my heirs, successors, assigns, and legal representatives, I forever release, waive, discharge, and agree not to sue Homestead and/or the Releasees for any injury or death resulting from their negligence or other actions occurring before, during, or after yoga.

I agree not to hold Homestead or the Releasees responsible or to initiate legal action against them for any and all illnesses, injuries, damages, or death that I, or my family, spouse, estate, heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns may experience as a result of my participation in yoga or presence at Homestead.

All sales are final. I understand and agree that any consideration paid for yoga or other services is non-refundable; any potential refunds, if applicable, are at Homestead's sole discretion.

I acknowledge that I may participate in a class that is being recorded, live-streamed, or photographed for use on Homestead’s online platform, marketing, or other media. I hereby consent to Homestead, its affiliates, and agents using my image and likeness in Homestead's online publications, advertising, and other media activities.

Additionally, I recognize the contagious and harmful nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk of exposure to or infection by COVID-19 while attending Homestead. I understand that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, or death. I acknowledge that the risk of exposure or infection may arise from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including Homestead and its customers. I agree to assume full responsibility for any risk, injuries, illnesses, specifically including COVID-19, or damages, whether known or unknown, that I might incur as a result of my participation in yoga or my presence at Homestead. I certify that I have not shown, nor have I had in the past fourteen (14) days, any symptoms of COVID-19, such as fever, shortness of breath, cough, loss of taste or smell, fatigue, or body aches. To the best of my knowledge, I am not currently infected with COVID-19, nor have I been exposed to anyone known to be infected with or contagious with COVID-19 in the past fourteen (14) days.

I have read this release and Waiver of Liability and fully understand its contents. I voluntarily agree to the terms and conditions stated above and acknowledge that Homestead would not permit my participation in yoga or any other services if I did not agree to these terms. This waiver will remain in effect unless otherwise noted.
