The individual named below (referred to as "I" or "me") desires to participate in classes or individual yoga instruction (the "Activity") offered by Auke Bay Yoga, LLC, a State of Alaska Limited Liability Company (the "Company") at 11798 Glacier Highway, Juneau, AK, 99801 (the "Premises") or at any other location where services are provided by Auke Bay Yoga, LLC. In consideration of being permitted by the Company to enter the Premises and participate in the Activity and in recognition of the Company's reliance hereon, I agree to all the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement (this "Release").

​

  1. I am aware and understand that the Activity is a potentially dangerous activity and involves the risk of serious injury, disability, death, and/or property damage. I am also aware of the contagious nature of bacterial and viral diseases, including COVID-19, collectively "Disease" and the risk that I may be exposed to or contract the Disease by being on the Premises and engaging in the Activity, which may result in illness, personal injury, psychological injury, pain, suffering, temporary or permanent disability, death, property damage, and/or financial loss. I acknowledge that these risks may result from or be compounded by the actions, omissions, or negligence of Company employees, contractors, or others, including negligent emergency response or rescue operations of the Company. I understand that the Company cannot guarantee that I will not be injured or become infected with the Disease while on the Premises or during my participation in the Activity and that being on the Premises and engaging in the Activity may increase my risk of contracting the Disease. NOTWITHSTANDING THESE RISKS, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY ACCESSING THE PREMISES AND PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTIVITY WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE DANGERS INVOLVED. I HEREBY AGREE TO ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL RISKS OF ILLNESS, PERSONAL INJURY, PSYCHOLOGICAL INJURY, PAIN, SUFFERING, DISABILITY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND/OR FINANCIAL LOSS ARISING THEREFROM, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF THE COMPANY OR OTHERWISE. 

  2. My signature acknowledges I understand that in yoga class I will progress at my own pace. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will listen to my body, adjust the posture, and ask for support from the yoga teacher. I will continue to breathe smoothly. If at any point I feel overexertion or fatigue, I will respect my body’s limitations and I will rest before continuing yoga practice. Yoga is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis, or treatment. Yoga is not recommended and is not safe under certain medical conditions. I affirm that I alone am responsible to consult with my physician and to decide whether I am fit to practice yoga.

  3. I hereby expressly acknowledge that all class packages sold by the Company are non-refundable and are also non-transferable to another person or location. 

  4. I hereby expressly waive and release any and all claims, now known or hereafter known, against the Company and its members, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns (collectively, "Releasees") on account of personal or psychological injury, illness, pain, suffering, disability, death, property damage, or financial loss arising out of or attributable to my being on the Premises or participating in the Activity, whether arising out of the ordinary negligence of the Company or any Releasees or otherwise. I covenant not to make or bring any such claim against the Company or any other Releasee, and forever release and discharge the Company and all other Releasees from liability under such claims. 

  5. I confirm that I: (a) am in good health and proper physical condition and do not have any medical or other conditions that would impair my ability to participate in the Activity; and (b) am not experiencing symptoms of the Disease (such as cough, shortness of breath, or fever, do not have a confirmed or suspected case of the Disease, and have not come in contact in the last 14 days with a person who has been confirmed to have or suspected of having the Disease. If this changes when I wish to participate in the Activity in the future, I confirm that I will not come on the Premises until these conditions are met. I will comply with all federal, state, and local laws, orders, directives, and guidelines related to the Activity and the Disease while on the Premises or participating in the Activity. I will also follow all instructions, recommendations, and cautions of the Company at all times while on the Premises or during the Activity. If at any time I believe conditions to be unsafe, that I am no longer in proper physical condition to participate in the Activity, or I begin experiencing symptoms of the Disease, I will immediately discontinue further participation in the Activity.

  6. I hereby consent to receive medical treatment deemed necessary if I am injured or require medical attention during my participation in the Activity on the Premises. I understand and agree that I am solely responsible for all costs related to such medical treatment and any related medical transportation and/or evacuation. I hereby release, forever discharge, and hold harmless the Company from any claim based on such treatment or other medical services.

  7. This Release constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the Company and me with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. If any term or provision of this Release is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Release or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Thanks for submitting!

Land Acknowledgement: It is our privilege and honor at Auke Bay Yoga to live, work, and practice here on Lingít Aani, on the unceded territory of the Áak'w Kwáan who have resided in this area since time immemorial, and who have historically been displaced from what we know today as Berners Bay and the Auke Bay areas of D'zantiki Héeni, known by its colonized name of Juneau. 

 

We would also like to recognize our relatives of the Taku River, the T'aaku Kwáan who came to reside at Anax Ya Andagan Ye' otherwise known as South Douglas, without recognizing them would further contribute to the erasure of their very existence and the many contributions they have made to this community in the past, now, and in the future. The T'aaku are our relatives, we care for them, and are thankful for the stewardships they too will continue to make in perpetuity.

​

Gunalchéesh to the Áak'w Kwáan for your continued stewardship and guidance as we move forward together recognizing the historical and ongoing harms of colonialism. We humbly give thanks to the land and its ancestors for their wisdom, strength, and generosity. May we honor and protect this sacred earth together for generations to come.
