By participating in any of our classes you are agreeing that you understand the following:
Starting our classes is no different to starting any other form of exercise – the same guidelines apply:
- If you are pregnant and not used to regular exercise, then it is recommended that you move carefully and wait until after 15/16 weeks before starting class. If you have a regular practice, good sense of body awareness and/or feel safe and confident starting classes earlier than 15/16 weeks, please inform your teacher of this when booking.
- If you are postnatal please wait until 6 weeks after a straightforward vaginal birth or 10 weeks after an assisted birth and/or requiring stitches or caesarean section birth, before you begin exercising or taking our classes again. Please ask your doctor in your postnatal check up, to see if you have diastasis recti (separated tummy muscles), SPD, hernia or any kind of prolapse and inform your teacher before booking you class.
- If you are coming to the Mother’s Yoga, Mother’s Gatherings, Parent and Baby / Toddler Yoga or Pregnancy Yoga please make sure you tell your teacher of any conditions, injuries, operations or medications that you take that may effect your practice. In all cases, if in doubt, please consult your doctor, midwife or healthcare professional.
- I understand that by participating in this class I am totally responsible for myself and if in the unlikely event of any injury of any kind, or miscarriage, the teacher of this class is not in any way responsible.
