I claim full responsibility for my safety and my body, and I acknowledge that I understand that Pilates bodywork includes physical movements, as well as an opportunity to mindfully connect to Pilates exercises through resisted movements which may or may not include the use of latex stretchy bands, stability balls, 2 or 3 pound weights, fitness rings, Pilates Reformers, Pilates jumpboard, Pilates stability boxes, Pilates stability chair; the Pilates Cadillac/Tower and MOTR machinery, and/or other exercise equipment. I understand that by integrating these potentially new exercises to my body that I may be able to re-educate my skeletal posture through muscular activation,but that such posture re-educated is not guaranteed. As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury to me or to third parties, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will listen to my body and respond to its needs by modifying or regressing the exercise to my physical capability, and, if necessary, ask for support from the Instructor or staff. I affirm that I alone am responsible to decide whether to practice Pilates either on or off the equipment and/or on the fitness mat. I HEREBY AGREE TO IRREVOCABLY RELEASE AND WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS THAT I HAVE NOW OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE AGAINST ELong Pilates DBA ELong Retreats LLC, it’s instructors and staff regarding any and all physical and/or mental injuries that I may suffer while at the retreat. I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to personally bear the costs of such injury or damage to myself. I further certify that I have no medical or physical condition which could interfere with my safety in the Pilates movement, or else I am willing to assume and bear the costs of all risks that may be created, directly or indirectly, by any such condition.
