Waves of Change Studio Participation & Liability Waiver

By participating in classes, workshops, sound experiences, meditation sessions, or other wellness activities offered by Waves of Change Counseling & Healing LLC, I acknowledge and agree to the following:

Assumption of Risk

I understand that yoga, movement-based classes, meditation, breathwork, and other wellness activities involve physical participation and may carry a risk of injury. Possible risks include muscle strain, falls, dizziness, aggravation of existing conditions, or other physical discomfort. I voluntarily choose to participate and accept responsibility for my participation.

Health & Medical Responsibility

I understand that instructors and facilitators at Waves of Change are not medical professionals and are not providing medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It is my responsibility to consult with a physician if I have any medical concerns or conditions that could affect my participation.

I agree to listen to my body, participate within my personal limits, and stop or modify activities if I experience pain, dizziness, or discomfort.

Personal Responsibility for Participation

I understand that instructors may offer demonstrations, suggestions, or general guidance during classes, but it is my responsibility to determine whether a movement or activity is appropriate for my body.

I agree to move at my own pace, modify movements when needed, and rest at any time.

Waves of Change encourages a supportive, non-competitive environment. I understand that every body is different and agree to participate in a way that respects my own limits and well-being.

Pregnancy Acknowledgment

If I am pregnant, I acknowledge that I am participating voluntarily and understand that it is my responsibility to ensure participation is appropriate for me. If I am beyond 20 weeks of pregnancy, I confirm that I have received approval from my healthcare provider to participate in yoga or movement activities.

Sound Healing & Sensory Experiences

Certain offerings may include sound meditation or sound healing experiences using instruments such as crystal singing bowls or other vibrational tools. Participants may experience physical, emotional, or mental responses during or after these sessions.

I understand that participation in sound meditation is voluntary and that I am responsible for monitoring my own comfort and well-being during the experience. I acknowledge that sound meditation may sometimes bring up emotional responses, and I agree to participate with personal awareness and responsibility.

If I have a pacemaker, epilepsy, sound sensitivity, or another medical or psychological condition that could be affected by sound or vibration, I confirm that I have consulted with a medical professional or have chosen to participate at my own discretion.

Studio Policies

I understand that classes may be canceled if no participants are registered at least one hour prior to the scheduled start time. I agree to respect studio policies, instructor time, and the shared environment of the space.

Release of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release and hold harmless Waves of Change Counseling & Healing LLC, its owners, instructors, employees, contractors, and volunteers from any liability, claims, or demands arising from my participation in studio activities.
