  2. I recognize that the Event and the Yoga Classes in which I will be participating may
    require physical and mental exertion. I further understand and acknowledge that
    despite the great amount of care that Sampoorna Yoga and its staff is taking, the Event

    regarding my participation in the Event and the Yoga Classes, and I understand
    Sampoorna has no medical obligation/responsibility upon its students, and there is no
    medical staff in the premises of the ashram. Any hospital, clinic or local doctor I may

    hospitalization, I shall be responsible for my own treatment and for any fees or

    Sampoorna can facilitate the contact with external medical resources, but it is not

    acknowledge that Sampoorna’s teaching staff are highly qualified in their area but they
    cannot provide any diagnosis and/or treatment.

    unborn child/children. Also, if I have any injury or problem whatsoever (including but
    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
