Terms of service.
By participating in the use of this website and it’s contents, I hereby agree to the following:
I am participating in yoga classes, health programs, workshops and/or other wellness, body work, therapy, exercise and healing arts activities. These activities may be offered in a physical studio setting or offered online by live classes, online videos, television, podcasts, apps or other digital media platforms. All such offerings, either online or physical shall be considered “Activities”.
I understand that these Activities include physical movements as well as an opportunity for relaxation, stress re-education and relief of muscular tension.
Participation in the Activities, either online or in studio includes, but is not limited to, participation in meditation techniques, yogic breathing techniques, and performing various yoga postures. Yoga postures, or asanas, are designed to exercise every part of the body―stretching and toning the muscles and joints, the spine and the entire skeletal system. They also work on the internal organs, glands and nerves. Yoga incorporates sustained stretching to strengthen muscles, increase stability and flexibility. Yoga is an individual experience.
As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be eliminated. My signature acknowledges I understand that in class (either online or in studio) I will progress at my own pace. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will listen to my body, adjust the posture and ask for support from the teacher. I have been made aware of how to contact my teacher to receive the support needed. During Activities I will continue to breathe smoothly. If at any point I feel overexertion or fatigue, I will respect my body’s limitations and I will rest before continuing the Activities. I recognize that the Activities may cause or aggravate a physical injury or medical conditions. I am fully aware of this risk and hereby release Stephanie Batke or Nurtured Soul Yoga from any and all liability, negligence or other claims arising from or in any way connected with my participation in the Activities.
Stephanie Batke’s or Nurtured Soul Welness’ Activities are not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis or treatment. The Activities are not recommended and are not safe under certain medical conditions. I affirm that I alone am responsible to decide whether to participate in the Activities offered by Stephanie Batke or Nurtured Soul Wellness.
I hereby agree to irrevocably release and waive any claims that I have now or hereafter may have against Stephanie Batke or Nurtured Soul Wellness.
My signature verifies that I am physically fit to participate in yoga classes and a licensed medical doctor has verified my physical condition for participation in this type of Activity.
I understand that Stephanie Batke reserves the right to refuse my participation in any Activity on medical, fitness or any other grounds.
If I am pregnant or become pregnant or am post-natal, my signature verifies that I am participating in Activities with my doctor’s full approval. I realize that I am participating at my own risk.
My participation in this website and/or its contents acknowledges that I shall not now or at any time in the future bring any claim and/or legal action against Stephanie Batke or Nurtured Soul Wellness. I knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive any “Claim” I may have against Stephanie Batke or any of her employees, independent contractors, or assistants (each a “Released Party”) that I may sustain as a result of participating in the Activities; even if the Claim arises from the negligence of the Released Party or anyone else; and that this waiver is binding on me, my heirs, my spouse, my children, my legal representatives, my successors and my assigns.
I hereby understand that Stephanie Batke or Nurtured Soul Wellness may photograph, video or otherwise record Activities and place such photographs and videos on its website or social media platform(s). I hereby consent to the use of my image that may appear in any such photograph or video.
Stephanie Batke or Nurtured Soul Wellness does not, nor will ever sell or share my information with a third party*.
*in rare circumstances Stephanie/Nurtured Soul Wellness will share emergency information with a third party such as paramedics, emergency department etc. to ensure the participant is given the best care possible.
