WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY AGREEMENT
Trauma-Informed Yoga Workshop

This Waiver and Release of Liability Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between SURVIVORS.ORG f/k/a PAVE, including its affiliates and related entities (collectively referred to as “Survivors.org”), and the undersigned participant (hereinafter “Participant”). By signing this Agreement, I acknowledge that I am voluntarily enrolling in and participating in the Trauma-Informed Yoga Workshop offered by Survivors.org. As part of the workshop, I may participate in yoga and other wellness, bodywork, healing exercises, mindfulness practices, and related educational content and discussions (collectively, the “Activities”) provided by Survivors.org and its representatives.

I understand that the Activities will be conducted remotely via Zoom or a similar online video conferencing platform, and that participation requires the use of my own technology, internet connection, and physical space. I acknowledge that Survivors.org does not control, inspect, or guarantee the safety, suitability, or functionality of my environment, equipment, or technology used to participate. I further understand that I am solely responsible for ensuring that my participation environment is safe and appropriate, and that I choose to participate at my own risk.

I understand that participation in the Activities involves inherent risks, including but not limited to physical injury, illness, or death, and I voluntarily assume all risks associated with my participation.

I acknowledge that I must be in adequate physical and mental health to participate. I represent that I am not aware of any medical condition, injury, or impairment that would prevent my safe participation. I understand that the Activities may involve physical exertion, and I am participating at my own risk.

I understand that the Activities may cause or aggravate injuries or medical conditions, including muscle, back, neck, or other physical injuries. I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician or other qualified professional before participating, and if I have done so, I confirm that I have followed their advice. I agree to listen to my body, to stop or modify any activity if I experience pain, discomfort, or distress, and I may opt out of any movement or portion of the Activities at any time. I accept full responsibility for any injuries, damages, or financial obligations arising from my participation.

I understand this workshop is not a substitute for therapy, counseling, or medical or mental health treatment. I acknowledge that trauma is individual and a completely trigger-free environment cannot be guaranteed. I understand I may experience emotional or psychological distress during or after participation and agree that Survivors.org is not liable for such distress to the fullest extent permitted by law. In the event of a mental health crisis, I am responsible for seeking appropriate support, including contacting emergency services, a crisis hotline, or my own provider.

I understand that if any provision of this Agreement is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
