The Iyengar Yoga Centre of Victoria relies on the generosity of many. Our members, students, volunteers, staff and teachers donate their time and resources to support our programs and community events. These generous gifts help the Centre meet its mission to spread the work of B.K.S. Iyengar and make yoga accessible to everyone.
Having students sign a waiver serves two purposes. Firstly, it ensures that you are aware there are risks in taking yoga classes and your responsibility related to those risks. Secondly, it protects the Centre from claims for injury to person and property. Participants in sport and recreational activities have become increasingly aware of their right, if they become injured, to make a claim against the organizations offering these activities.
