In further consideration of being permitted to participate in the yoga classes, I knowingly, voluntarily, and expressly waive any claim I may have against the yoga instructor, Heart Prints Center for Early Education, or The Regional Learning Alliance for injuries or damages that my child may sustain as a result of participating in classes or workshops held at Common Ground.
If my child participates in other gross motor activities or events at Heart Prints Center for Early Education (such as dance, gross motor play outside, gross motor play inside etc.) I will also assume full responsibility for any injuries that may result from her/his participation, participation, with the same considerations that this waiver stipulates for yoga.
