Before your first session
Assumption of Risk, Release of Liability & Waiver
Please read this before attending a PILOGA’S session. Every participant agrees to these terms at booking.
1. Assumption of risk
Pilates and Yoga, especially outdoors, involve physical exertion and inherent risks — including but not limited to muscle strain, sprains, falls on uneven or natural terrain, exposure to sun, heat, cold, insects, and other environmental conditions, and, rarely, more serious injury. I understand these risks exist even when instruction is competent and equipment is in good condition, and I voluntarily choose to participate.
2. Health acknowledgment
I confirm that I know of no medical condition, injury, or physical limitation that would prevent my safe participation, or I have consulted a physician and been cleared to participate. I will inform my instructor of any condition, injury, or pregnancy before class begins, and I understand I’m responsible for modifying or stopping any movement that doesn’t feel right for my body.
3. Release of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release PILOGA’S, its instructors, employees, and the parks, trails, beaches, and other locations that host sessions, from any claims, liability, or damages arising from my participation — except for damages caused by gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct, which this release does not and cannot waive.
4. Personal property & weather
PILOGA’S is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal belongings during a session. Outdoor sessions proceed rain or shine unless PILOGA’S cancels for safety reasons (e.g. lightning, extreme heat); in that case you’ll be offered a free reschedule or full refund.
5. Photo & media release (optional)
From time to time we photograph or film sessions for marketing on our website and social channels. Being present at a session does not obligate you to appear in marketing — let your instructor know if you’d prefer not to be photographed, and we’ll make sure of it.
6. Governing law
This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California. If any part of this waiver is found unenforceable, the remaining terms stay in effect.
