Your safety:
I understand that I am participating in a class/workshop/retreat, offered by Natural Lands, led by Centaur Tai Chi, during which I will receive information and instruction about tai chi and health. I recognize that tai chi may require some physical exertion, which may be strenuous and may cause physical injury, and I am fully aware of the risks and hazards involved.
I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to and regarding my participation in the class/workshop/retreat. I represent and warrant that I am physically fit and I have no medical condition which would prevent my full participation in the class/workshop/retreat.
In consideration of being permitted to participate in the class/workshop/retreat, I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries, or damages, known or unknown, which I might incur as a result of participating in the class/workshop/retreat, including following the CDC’s and State of Pennsylvania’s guidelines for the correct social distancing rules for COVID-19.
I recognize that it is my responsibility to notify my teacher of pregnancy, any serious illness or injury before every class.
