PARTICIPANT RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
 

Instructor: Julie Bell Sneed
 

Company / Entity: Moms Need Yoga (and its owners, contractors, agents, and representatives)

Please read this document carefully before signing or completing your booking. By agreeing to this document, you surrender certain legal rights, including the right to sue.
 

1. Voluntary Participation

I hereby voluntarily choose to participate in yoga, somatic movement, breathwork, meditation, and related fitness activities (collectively, the "Activities") led by Julie Bell Sneed and hosted by Moms Need Yoga. I acknowledge that the Activities may be conducted in-person (indoor or outdoor venues), online via live video conference (e.g., Zoom), or through recorded media.
 

2. Assumption of Inherent Risks

I understand and acknowledge that physical exercise, postural transitions, stretching, and deep breathing involve inherent risks of physical injury, muscle strains, joint sprains, cardiovascular stress, dizziness, or other adverse physical reactions.

• For Outdoor Classes: I acknowledge additional environmental hazards, including uneven terrain, roots, rocks, insects, sun exposure, and changing weather conditions.

• For Virtual / Online Classes: I acknowledge that Julie Bell Sneed cannot physically supervise or correct my form. I am entirely responsible for preparing a safe, flat, and hazard-free physical environment in my home or chosen practice location.

I voluntarily, knowingly, and expressly assume full responsibility for all risks, known or unknown, associated with my participation.
 

3. Health & Medical Representation (Prenatal / Postnatal)

I certify that I am physically fit and have no medical conditions that would prevent my safe participation. If I am pregnant, postpartum, nursing, recovering from surgery, or managing a chronic physical or mental health condition, I affirm that I have consulted with a licensed physician or midwife and received medical clearance to participate in physical exercise.

I understand that it is my responsibility to monitor my own body, rest when needed, and modify or discontinue any movement that causes pain or distress. I acknowledge that Julie Bell Sneed is a yoga instructor, not a medical or mental healthcare provider, and that no instruction constitutes medical diagnosis, therapy, or personalized medical advice.
 

4. Release of Liability and Covenant Not to Sue

In consideration of being allowed to participate in the Activities, I, on behalf of myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, and legal representatives, knowingly and voluntarily release, waive, forever discharge, and hold harmless Julie Bell Sneed, Moms Need Yoga, and their respective owners, contractors, volunteers, and host property owners from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, or causes of action arising out of ordinary negligence, personal injury, property damage, or loss sustained during or as a result of my participation in the Activities.
 

5. Indemnification

I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Julie Bell Sneed and Moms Need Yoga against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or resulting from my participation in the Activities or any violation of this agreement.
 

6. Media Release (Optional / Customizable)

I acknowledge that photographs, screenshots, or short videos may occasionally be taken during public or outdoor events for community or promotional purposes. I grant permission for such use unless I explicitly inform Julie Bell Sneed in writing before the start of the session that I opt out.
