Release and Waiver of Liability of  WildHeart Wellness Consulting L.L.C.

I, ___________________________, hereby agree to the following:

1. I am participating in yoga/fitness classes, breathwork and breathing exercises, extreme cold and/or extreme heat exposure including but not limited to cold water exposure, ice bath and sauna, health programs, workshops and/or other wellness, body work, therapy, exercise and healing arts activities (collectively, the “Activities”) offered by WildHeart Wellness Consulting L.L.C. (the“Teacher”). The Activities may be offered in a physical location or offered online by videos, television, podcasts, apps or other digital media or platforms. All of such offerings, either physical or online, shall be considered “Activities.”

2. I recognize that I must be in adequate physical and mental health to participate in the Activities. I understand that the Activities may require intense physical exertion, and I represent and warrant that I am physically fit enough to participate, and I have no medical condition which would prevent my full participation in the Activities. I recognize that the Activities may cause or aggravate a physical injury or medical condition. I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician before my participation in the Activities. If I have done so, I have taken the physician’s advice. I understand that the Teacher reserves the right to refuse my participation in any Activity on medical, fitness or any other grounds.

3. I am aware that my participation in the Activities could result in high blood pressure, fainting, heartbeat disorders, physical injury, heart attack or stroke and may aggravate pre-existing injuries. I understand that I could experience muscle, back, neck and other injuries as a result of my participation in the Activities. I understand my physical limitations and I am sufficiently self-aware to stop or modify my participation in any Activity before I become injured or aggravate a pre-existing injury.

4. In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries or damages, known or unknown, which I might incur as a result of participating in the Activities, including those which may result from the negligence of the Teacher.

5. In further consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, I knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive any “Claim” (as defined below) I may have against the Teacher and any of Teacher’s members, managers, 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 Released Party or anyone else. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Released Party from any loss, cost, or liability incurred in defending any Claim made by me, my estate, my heirs, or anyone making a Claim on my behalf, even if the Claim is alleged to or did result from the negligence of Released Party or anyone else. “Claim” includes but is not limited to any and all liabilities, claims, demands, losses, expenses, fees, legal actions, rights of actions for damages, personal injury, mental suffering and distress, or death that I may suffer, my spouse, children or unborn child may suffer (including any legal fees or expenses) in connection with participation in any Activity.

6. I, my heirs or legal representatives forever release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue any Released Party for any Claim caused by any negligence or other acts of any Released Party.

7. I hereby understand that the Teacher from time to time may photograph, video, or otherwise record Activities and place such photographs and videos on its Website or social media platform. I hereby consent to the use of my image that may appear in any such photograph or video.

8. This agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of North Carolina and that all actions, suits, claims and proceedings relating to this agreement shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in North Carolina. In case any provision of this agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall not affect any other provision of this agreement and this agreement shall be construed as if such provision had never been contained herein. I acknowledge that I have carefully read this agreement and fully understand its contents. I voluntarily and knowingly agree to the terms and conditions stated herein. I am aware that by signing this agreement, I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue and certain legal rights my heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators and assigns may have against any Released Party.

Heat and cold exposure- sauna, cold plunge/ice bath- are generally safe for healthy individuals, however  they may not be appropriate for everyone. Participation is not recommended without prior medical clearance for individuals who are or may be pregnant; have cardiovascular conditions (including pacemaker use or diagnosed heart disease); have a history of syncope or fainting, particularly related to temperature changes; or have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, especially with associated vascular complications. Participants are responsible for consulting their healthcare provider to determine medical appropriateness prior to engaging in heat and cold exposure/sauna and cold plunge/ice bath activities.  Participation is voluntary and undertaken at the individual’s own discretion and risk.

Yoga classes may include physical movement, stretching, breathwork, meditation, and other wellness practices. While generally safe for most individuals, participation may not be appropriate for everyone. Individuals who are or may be pregnant; have musculoskeletal injuries or limitations (including spinal, joint, or soft tissue injuries); have cardiovascular, respiratory, or neurological conditions; have recently undergone surgery; or have any other medical condition that may be affected by physical activity should consult with a qualified healthcare provider prior to participation.

Participants are responsible for disclosing any relevant medical conditions, injuries, or limitations to the instructor before class and for modifying or discontinuing participation as needed. Participation is voluntary and undertaken at the individual’s own discretion and risk.
