CLASS AGREEMENT & LIABILITY WAIVER
The Class Agreement & Liability Waiver are legally binding and contain several clauses that affect you. They must be accepted for you to access any of our classes, live events, recorded sessions, and related offerings.
LIVE SERVICES
The date and time of any sessions where the Services are provided live, including, without limitation, live group training calls (the “Live Services”), shall be determined by Conscious Movements in its sole discretion. You assume all responsibility to attend such sessions. Failure to attend a Live Service session shall in no way give rise to any right of reimbursement to you or obligation of Scientuitive to reschedule such session.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will provide you with reasonable notice of any anticipated rescheduling of a Live Service.
While the Live and Recorded Classes and resources offered here at Conscious Movements foster health and well-being, it's important to note that any activity of a physical nature carries the risk of injury and loss. While the care and safety of our participants is of utmost importance, such risks cannot be entirely eliminated.
EMBODIED & SOMATIC MOVEMENT SESSIONS
These classes include all somatic-based and embodiment classes offered at Conscious Movements.
I understand that during live or self-study movement sessions, I will participate in lessons using the Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education and other somatic modalities. My decision to participate is voluntary. I understand that the session will involve light to moderate physical activity. I certify that I am able to engage in such activity.
I understand that progress in this educational system comes through gentleness and attentiveness. I agree to refrain from forceful or straining actions. I agree to remain within my own range of comfort. I agree to immediately discontinue any unwise or excessive actions for me immediately.
I understand that the Feldenkrais Method and other somatic movement offerings are not medical treatment or psychological, nor a substitute for such.
I understand that participation does not include any warranty for effectiveness.
I understand that embodied and somatic-based practices are inherently gentle processes and that physical injury is rare. However, any movement practice has some inherent risks. I assume that risk myself.
BREATHWORK SESSIONS
The following disclaimer is used in our most intensive breathwork courses. We believe these are the most extreme potential outcomes. However, we want everyone to be aware of them. If you have any concerns or questions, please speak with a healthcare practitioner or doctor.
Advanced Breathwork can elicit intense feelings. It's not recommended for some people due to the strong physical and emotional responses that may arise. If you have concerns about the emotional impact, please consult your doctor before practicing this type of breathing.
GENERAL SAFETY TIPS:
It is essential to practice breathwork in a safe environment. In some cases, you may experience dizziness or feel light-headed. In some cases, although rare, you may lose consciousness. Therefore, we recommend lying on the floor or in an area where you will not hurt yourself if you fall. You must never practice this style of breathing while driving or in water (drowning can occur) or in any situation where passing out could harm yourself or others.
INTENSE BREATHWORK IS NOT SUITABLE FOR:
Breathwork is not advised for persons with a history of cardiovascular disease or high blood pressure, glaucoma, retinal detachment, osteoporosis, significant recent physical injuries, or surgery without first speaking with a medical professional.
Breathwork is not advised for persons with severe mental illness or seizure disorders or for persons using major medications. It is also unsuitable for anyone with a personal or family history of aneurysms.
Pregnant women are advised against practicing breathwork without first consulting and getting approval from their primary care physician.
Individuals with asthma should keep their inhaler with them at all times and consult their primary care physician.
I hereby waive all legal rights to sue and any and all claims I may ever have against the Teacher or her authorized representatives in connection with any loss, injury, death, damage, or expense that I may suffer or incur in connection with classes or shared resources.
PERSONAL CONDUCT:
The Teacher is committed to fostering a respectful environment where participants are welcoming and inclusive of all, and treat others with dignity and respect, and in a non-discriminatory manner.
I hereby acknowledge that I may be removed from a class without a refund if the Teacher or their authorized representatives determine that I am acting disrespectfully toward the Teacher, the Participants, or both.
I agree that I have read and accept the conditions outlined in this service offering for the live classes, session, gatherings, and events, as well as the general terms and privacy policy.
