Free yoga waiver template
A plain-English yoga release of liability you can download, hand to your attorney, and adapt — then collect digitally with e-signatures.
Sample only — have an attorney review. JustWaiver is software, not legal advice.
A yoga waiver is gentler than a contact-sport one, but the risks are specific: strains, joint injury, and — in heated rooms — fainting or trouble for students with heart conditions or who are pregnant. The key clauses are a health disclosure and a clear 'practice at your own pace' acknowledgment.
What's inside
What your yoga waiver should include
- 1
Health & pregnancy disclosure
Asks students to disclose injuries, pregnancy, recent surgery, or conditions (heart, blood pressure) — especially important for heated or intensive classes.
- 2
Practice at your own pace
The student agrees to work within their own limits, that the instructor isn't a medical professional, and that hands-on adjustments are optional.
- 3
Heated-class acknowledgment
For hot yoga, covers hydration, the risk of dizziness or fainting, and the student's responsibility to rest as needed.
- 4
Release & waiver of liability
Releases your business and staff from claims arising out of participation, including ordinary negligence, to the extent your local law allows.
- 5
Acknowledgment & signature
Confirms the signer read and understood the waiver and signs it freely, with a printed name, signature, and date.
