Agreements and Waiver

I look forward to working with you! Please review the waiver and agreements below and indicate you agree on the registration form. Let Carol know if you have any questions.

Mutual agreements

As your instructor, you can expect me to:

  1. Be a partner in bringing out the best, the deepest, and the truest in you 

  2. Provide safety, encouragement and support; an environment in which you can relax and explore 

  3. Respect the confidentiality of the agreements we make. All information you provide will be kept strictly confidential. I respect your willingness to be truthful, and I will treat this information as a special confidence.

  4. Expand your view of what is possible and promote discovery of new insights 

  5. Give you input, straight feedback, and operate as a sounding board 

  6. Listen carefully to what you say and ask questions that increase awareness 

  7. Be an on-going resource for you in accomplishing your intentions 

I expect that you, as my client will: 

  1. Cultivate a core honesty with yourself 

  2. Commit yourself to intentions that are truly meaningful and significant to you 

  3. Keep me honestly informed as to what is and is not working for you 

  4. Take ownership for your progress and your accomplishments 

  5. Take financial responsibility for our sessions. All sessions are subject to a 24-hour cancellation policy. A missed appointment can be made up with email coaching. Last minute cancellations prevent other clients from taking the reserved time slot and are therefore billed as a late cancellation and are required to pay the cost of the session.

    Waiver for classes, events, and private sessions

    I affirm that I am in good physical condition and have consulted with a physician if I have any concerns about my ability to participate. I will inform the instructor of any medical conditions, physical limitations, or injuries before class. I understand that it is my responsibility to modify poses as needed for my body.

  3. Assumption of Risk:
    I understand that participation in yoga classes may result in personal injury, including but not limited to muscle strains, sprains, falls, or other physical ailments. I voluntarily assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries, or damages that I may sustain as a result of participation.

  4. Release of Liability:
    I hereby release, waive, and discharge Carol Rossi, her agents, heirs, and assigns from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, or liability for injuries, death, or damages arising from my participation in yoga classes, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by California law.

  5. Use of Space and Equipment:
    I understand that I am responsible for using props, mats, and the class space safely and respectfully. I will comply with all instructions given for use of equipment and studio policies.

  6. COVID-19 and Communicable Illness:
    [For in-person classes] I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that I may be exposed to or infected by attending in-person classes. I agree not to attend class if I am experiencing symptoms or have been recently exposed to someone with a communicable illness.

  7. Over 18:
    I confirm that I am over 18 years of age.

  8. General Provisions:
    This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. If any provision is held invalid, the remaining terms shall remain in full force and effect. This waiver shall remain in effect for all current and future yoga classes conducted by Carol Rossi unless revoked in writing.
