I recognize that any form of physical activity is potentially hazardous with risk of possible injury or death. I hereby affirm that I am voluntarily participating in these activities and agree to expressly assume and accept any and all risks of injury and/or death. Likewise, I, my heirs, or legal representative of such forever release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to hold Tiferet Inc, and its representatives--Julie Newman, Edith Raphael, and Edith Raphael Enterprises, LLC--responsible for any liability.

I understand it is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to and regarding my participation in this yoga class, retreat, or workshop. I also affirm myself to be physically sound and suffering from no condition, aliment, impairment, disease, or other illness that would prevent my participation in yoga activities.

These classes and related retreats/workshops involve breath focused ease and steadiness as well as self-acceptance—not over-striving and pain.
