Welcome to our classes.

Ananda Wellness Australia warmly welcomes you to our classes. As everyone comes to yoga & meditation for different reasons please always let your teacher know of any injuries or relevant medical information, especially if you are new, if your situation has changed or if you have a new teacher.

The golden rule is ‘if it does not feel right then do not do it’. We encourage you to stop when ever you need to. Feel free to ask for assistance if you are unsure about whether a pose, movement or breathing / meditation instruction is right for you. If it’s not possible during the class, then talk to your teacher after the class. We are here to help you get the most from your practice and more than happy to offer adjustments or alternatives. We are here to support each other. Therefore we make this disclaimer very clearly. The practice is about developing our awareness and among other principles, the practice of ahimsa - non violence. Be good to yourself.

Talk to the teacher before the class about any reoccurring or new issues that may affect your practice so we can offer extra guidance. To discuss this phone us on 0421 674 093 at least 20 minutes before the class starts.

Waiver of Liability: I understand that yoga, breath work & meditation includes physical movement as well as an opportunity for relaxation, stress management and relief of muscular tension. As is the case with any activity such as these, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will cease or adjust the posture or technique and ask for support from the teacher. Yoga, breathwork & meditation are not substitutes for medical attention, examination, diagnosis or treatment. Yoga is not recommended and is not safe under certain medical conditions. I affirm that I alone am responsible to decide whether to practice yoga, breathwork & meditation. If my health condition should change I agree to fill out a new Waiver of Liability form and advise the yoga instructor. I am not pregnant. I hereby agree to irrevocably release and waive any claims that I have now or hereafter may have against Ananda Wellness Australia and its authorised instructors.
