   cannot provide any diagnosis and/or treatment.

   not limited to injuries, heart problems, back or neck problems, asthma, epilepsy, ulcer,
   hernia, high blood pressure, and so forth), I understand that I may be not fit to
   participate in certain Yoga Classes, in which case I will inform Sampoorna Yoga
   immediately of such condition, and Sampoorna Yoga shall have the full authority to
   prohibit me from participating in such Yoga Classes, if need be. In any case, whether I
   have disclosed or have not disclosed such injury or problem, I understand that if
   despite my injury or problem I still decide to participate in the Yoga Classes, I would be
   participating fully at my own risk.
6. I understand that from time to time during Yoga Classes, the instructor may physically
   adjust students’ form and posture, and I hereby accept receiving such adjustments. If I
   do not want such physical adjustments for any reason whatsoever, notably because of
   an injury, or any other personal reason, I will so inform the instructor at each class I
   attend. I also acknowledge that if I do wish to receive such adjustments, it is my2responsibility to inform the instructor when an adjustment has gone as far as I desire at
   that time.

   property associated with the Event, the Yoga Classes or any other events held by
