Yoga Health & Safety Notice

Please take care when filling in the above form and check the contents are accurate before you click submit. By submitting the form, you are confirming that the contents are true and accurate to the best of your knowledge. Please notify your teacher of any changes to your responses to the healthcare questions before participating in classes subsequent to those changes.

Your teacher is not qualified to express an opinion that you are fit to safely participate in any of our yoga classes. You must obtain professional or specialist advice from your doctor before participating if you are in any doubt. Where possible, your teacher may offer suitable modifications or adjustments, and practices to suit different levels of experience and ability.

Please let the instructor know before the class if you are not confident about your experience and/or ability. Where you have declared a health condition, please contact the teacher before the class if you would like to request that you are provided with suitable modifications or adjustments wherever possible.

Always follow the safety instructions and listen to your body. Where a movement or class is beyond your experience or ability, feels too difficult for you, or you experience any discomfort, please do not continue the movement or class. If you do not put responses to the healthcare questions in your booking form we will assume that you do not have any existing health conditions or concerns to declare to us. Please contact us immediately if your circumstances change or speak with the yoga teacher prior to taking part in a class if you have any concerns.

We are unable to make modifications or adjustments to the exercises for health conditions or concerns that we are unaware of, or which are not declared. We cannot be responsible where you fail to declare a health condition to us (whether by completing the booking form or in some other communication), and an issue arises as a result.

Mental Health & Wellbeing Notice

While meditation, yoga and Buddhist psychology have been proven to be beneficial for mental health and wellbeing, our events are not presented as a treatment for serious mental health problems or addiction.

Meditation is not harmful in that it does not create any mental issues or emotional challenges, but as we peel back the veils and cultivate mental balance, we may bring awareness to afflictions we were not aware of before. For most, this is a liberating and welcome experience. At times, however, exploring the realm of the mind and emotions can be in itself an emotional experience. We always strive to create a safe, supportive environment for participants to embark on this exploration and encourage open discussion with your group leader if we can offer you support in any way.

Our events may be less suitable for individuals who are currently (or recently) under treatment for a psychological condition. Difficult life circumstances such as a recent loss of a loved one can also be a difficult emotional time for many people and if you are going through such a challenging time, the practices of this event may feel too demanding at this time. This very much depends on where you are at in your journey, your current psychological health, the support networks that you have around you, such as friends, family and mental health professionals, and the topics of the day. Please contact David at [email protected] if you're unsure.

If you are currently taking medication for a mental health condition, then we recommend that you do not change your medication, other than in close collaboration with your medication prescriber.

If these circumstances apply to you and you have concerns, then we recommend, if you have not done so already, to contact your group leader to discuss your situation and the support networks you have in place and to explore how best to proceed. By attending, you confirm that you feel well enough and that there are no concerns that we need to be aware of, unless already discussed. If you felt safe enough to attend but experience difficulties during the event, please speak to the group leader personally between sessions to discuss whether this is right for you at this time.

Please contact David via [email protected] if you have any concerns.
