Release of Liability and Assumption of Risk Membership Test Studio, Ithaca, NY

I am choosing to take part in activities at Membership Test Studio ("the Studio"), including group yoga classes, mat Pilates classes, private yoga sessions, private reformer Pilates sessions, and the use of Studio equipment such as reformers, mats and props (together, "the Activities").

1. Understanding the risks. I understand that yoga and Pilates are physical activities. They involve stretching, balancing, bearing weight, and moving on and with equipment, including spring-loaded reformers. Like any physical activity, they carry a risk of injury, such as strains, sprains, falls, or other harm. I take part of my own free will.

2. Listening to my body. I agree to work at my own pace, to rest or stop whenever I need to, and to follow my teacher's instructions on the safe use of equipment. I understand that my teacher can offer changes to a pose or exercise, and that I am responsible for choosing what is right for me.

3. Talking with a doctor. I understand the Studio does not give medical advice. If I have any concern about whether these Activities are right for me, I will speak with a doctor before taking part. I will tell my teacher in person about anything they should know before class.

4. Equipment and studio space. I agree to use the reformers, mats, props and other equipment only as instructed, and to let a teacher know right away if anything seems damaged or unsafe.

5. Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release Membership Test Studio, its owners, teachers and staff from claims for injury, loss or damage arising from my taking part in the Activities. I understand that this release does not apply where New York law does not allow it.

6. My personal belongings. I understand the Studio is not responsible for personal belongings left in the studio.

7. Agreement. I have read this release, I understand it, and I agree to it. I confirm that I am at least 18 years old.
