I confirm that I am physically able to participate and that I have disclosed any relevant health conditions, injuries, pregnancy, or medical concerns prior to attending.

I understand that certain conditions may make heated environments or cold exposure unsuitable, including but not limited to:

• History of dizziness or fainting

• Respiratory conditions

• Recent surgery or injury

• Pregnancy or other medical conditions affecting circulation

If unsure, I agree to seek medical advice before participating.

 

3. Heated Practice & Cold Exposure Awareness

I acknowledge that:

• Heated sessions may increase heart rate, dehydration risk, and physical stress.

• Cold exposure can cause rapid changes in heart rate and blood pressure.

4. Personal Responsibility

I agree to:

• Follow all instructor guidance

• Modify movements where necessary

• Stop participation if discomfort, dizziness, or pain occurs

Participation is voluntary and at my own risk.

 

5. Liability Acknowledgement

While reasonable care is taken to provide a safe environment, participation in physical movement, heated sessions, and cold exposure carries inherent risks.

I release Severine Sanctuary / The Method Studio, Drip Recovery PTY LTD, instructors, staff, and contractors from liability for injury, loss, or damage except where required under Australian Consumer Law.

 

6. Ongoing Agreement

I understand this waiver applies to all future sessions unless updated. Continued attendance indicates ongoing acceptance.
