In consideration of the services of Alicia Mendez and Our Healing Hub, I HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO IRREVOCABLY RELEASE AND WAIVE, INDEMNIFY, AND DISCHARGE ALICIA MENDEZ AND OUR HEALING HUB OF ANY AND ALL PAST, PRESENT, OR FUTURE CLAIMS ON BEHALF OF MYSELF, MY CHILDREN, MY PARENTS, MY HEIRS, ASSIGNS, PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES/AGENTS, AND ESTATE AS FOLLOWS: 1. I ACKNOWLEDGE that I understand that yoga includes physical movements, as well as an opportunity for relaxation, stress reduction, and relief of muscular tension. I ACKNOWLEDGE that Reiki is not massage but may include light hovering of the hands or physical touch to aid in relaxation, stress reduction, and relief of muscular tension. As is the case with any physical activity, THE RISK OF INJURY TO ME OR TO THIRD PARTIES, EVEN SERIOUS OR DISABLING, IS ALWAYS PRESENT AND CANNOT BE ENTIRELY ELIMINATED. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will listen to my body, adjust the posture, and, if necessary, ask for support from the teacher or staff. I will continue to breathe smoothly. 2. I further acknowledge and agree that yoga and Reiki is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis or treatment. Yoga is not recommended and is not safe under certain medical conditions. I affirm that I alone am responsible to decide whether to practice yoga and Reiki. I HEREBY AGREE TO IRREVOCABLY RELEASE AND WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS THAT I HAVE NOW OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE AGAINST ALICIA MENDEZ AND OUR HEALING HUB. 3. I expressly acknowledge, agree, and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity. My participation in yoga and Reiki is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks, known or unknown. 4. I HEREBY VOLUNTARILY RELEASE, FOREVER DISCHARGE, AND AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS ALICIA MENDEZ AND OUR HEALING HUB FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, OR CAUSES OF ACTION, which are in any way connected with my participation in yoga or my use of ALICIA MENDEZ AND OUR HEALING HUB equipment or facilities, online yoga and Reiki classes, offsite yoga and Reiki classes at selected venues including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of ALICIA MENDEZ AND OUR HEALING and including any claims related to COVID-19 or any other illness or disease. 5. Should ALICIA MENDEZ AND OUR HEALING HUB or anyone acting on its behalf be required to incur attorney's fees and other costs to enforce this agreement, I AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD ALICIA MENDEZ AND OUR HEALING HARMLESS FOR ALL SUCH FEES AND COSTS. 6. I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I FURTHER CERTIFY THAT I HAVE NO MEDICAL OR PHYSICAL CONDITIONS WHICH COULD INTERFERE WITH MY SAFETY IN YOGA OR REIKI, OR ELSE I AM WILLING TO ASSUME—AND BEAR THE COSTS OF—ALL RISKS THAT MAY BE CREATED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, BY ANY SUCH CONDITION. 7. I FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE that ALICIA MENDEZ AND OUR HEALING HUB may, in its sole discretion, bar my participation in yoga and Reiki or require my removal from its facilities in order to prevent injury or inconvenience to myself and others. 8. Photo Release: At times portions of our classes and events may be filmed, photographed, and/or recorded. At times our classes can take place in our physical studio location and at other times in a selected offsite venue. By signing here, you consent to the possible reproduction of your likeness and/or voice, as well as the likeness/voice of any person representing our products and/or services, and you waive any claims in connection therewith. 9. Online yoga and Reiki: ALICIA MENDEZ AND OUR HEALING HUB assume no responsibility for injuries suffered while practicing these techniques at your home or any other location of your choice. Please seek a qualified medical professional before attending online yoga or Reiki classes and courses. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. By signing this NEW STUDENT RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, I acknowledge that if anyone is injured or property is damaged during my participation in yoga and Reiki, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against ALICIA MENDEZ AND OUR HEALING HUB on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein. I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS NEW STUDENT RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, AND I AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS.
