Risks
I acknowledge that: Trips with Natasha Wightman Yoga LLC (hereinafter ‘NATASHA WIGHTMAN YOGA' which term includes Natasha Wightman Yoga LLC’s related employees, instructors, members, officers, directors and agents) are intentionally designed to take clients out of the United States, to places where facilities, infrastructure, and safety and other standards may not be sophisticated and may be different from those in my country. Trips involve significant physical activity that can be demanding depending on the condition of the traveler, and the risk of serious personal injury including permanent disability and death from accident, illness or the actions of other persons. Medical facilities and services may not be easily accessible and may not be sophisticated. There are also risks associated with the Trips, which include the theft or loss of or damage to property. Some of the services provided in connection with the Trips, including lodging, transportation, food service and local tours and activities, are obtained from independent suppliers over whom Natasha Wightman Yoga may have no control.
I understand there is an inherent risk associated with any exercise program including my voluntary participation in yoga that may result in injury. The exercises related to yoga will challenge my cardio respiratory and musculoskeletal systems associated with the aerobic, anaerobic, strength, power, agility, flexibility and breathing components of the program. I understand and am aware that the components of exercise/yoga are potentially hazardous activities and may cause injury. I acknowledge that I have either had a physical examination and/ or have been given permission from my physician to participate in a yoga-based exercise program or that I have decided to

I understand and have carefully considered the risks involved in taking a trip of this nature. I accept those risks and assume full responsibility for any loss, injury or damage to me, my family or my dependents arising in connection with my participation, or the participation of members of my family, in the Trip. I/we have our own insurance appropriate to our needs in respect to such loss, injury or damage.
I accept that although Natasha Wightman Yoga endeavors to choose appropriate independent suppliers to provide services on the Trip, Natasha Wightman Yoga has no right to control their operations and therefore makes travel arrangements for the Trip on the condition that Natasha Wightman Yoga will not be liable for any negligent or willful act or omission of any independent supplier, or any other unrelated third party. I acknowledge that the services provided by the independent suppliers are subject to the laws of the place where the services are provided, and any conditions imposed by those suppliers. The liability of the independent suppliers may be limited by their tariffs, conditions of carriage, tickets or vouchers or international conventions or agreements.
