Health
1. Students are held responsible for their own wellbeing. It is the responsibility of the student to notify teachers of any injury, illness, or conditions (physical, mental or emotional) that may impact their practice. If in doubt whether this practice is suitable or not, students should contact AYA asking for advice before coming to class.
2. Students are advised to seek medical advice before coming to a class or workshop if they have concerns over their physical condition or are currently under medical/therapeutic treatment.
3. AYA reserves the right to refuse access to practice to any student if, in its discretion, it considers that the health of the student (or of any fellow students, teachers or staff) may be at risk during practice.
4. By participating in classes or workshops, students understand that this yoga practice includes intense physical movements, as ashtanga yoga is an energetic active form of yoga and there is a risk of injuries during practice. By joining our classes the student accepts the risk of injuries.
5. As a student, always listen to your own body. If at any time during the class or workshop, students experience discomfort or strain, they are advised to gently come out of the posture. Should the pain or discomfort persist, we recommend you inform the teacher as soon as possible. Students may rest at any time during the class.
6. Students are required to follow the instructions of the teacher at all times and any failure to do so will be at student’s own risk.
7. AYA’s teachers and staff are fully trained and highly experienced and will always do their best to provide a safe and open environment for practice. AYA does therefore decline any liability for physical or mental injuries.
