Breathwork Informed Consent, Assumption of Risk & Release of Liability
By participating in any breathwork session, class, workshop, or related practice facilitated by Ashley Watson, DC, I acknowledge and agree to the following:
Nature of Practice
I understand that breathwork involves intentional breathing techniques that may create strong physical, emotional, and psychological responses. These may include dizziness, lightheadedness, tingling sensations, muscle spasms or tetany, emotional release, altered states of awareness, and in some cases fainting or loss of consciousness. I understand these responses can occur even in safe and guided settings.
Medical Responsibility
I understand that I am responsible for determining whether breathwork is appropriate for me. I have been encouraged to consult a qualified healthcare provider prior to participation if I have any medical or psychological conditions or concerns.
Breathwork may not be suitable for individuals with, including but not limited to, cardiovascular conditions (such as high blood pressure, angina, or history of heart attack), aneurysm, seizure disorders, severe respiratory conditions, recent injury or surgery, severe mental health conditions or psychiatric instability, or pregnancy unless cleared by a healthcare provider. Individuals with asthma are advised to have prescribed medication available during practice.
Assumption of Risk
I voluntarily choose to participate and accept full responsibility for any risks, known or unknown, associated with breathwork practice. I understand that breathwork is not a substitute for medical, psychological, or psychiatric diagnosis or treatment.
Release of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law in Ontario, I release and hold harmless Ashley Watson, DC, from any and all claims, liability, demands, actions, or causes of action arising from my participation in breathwork sessions, including negligence, except in cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
Personal Safety
I agree to participate in a safe environment and will not engage in breathwork while driving, operating machinery, or in any situation where altered awareness could create risk. I understand I am responsible for my own safety during and after participation, including any at-home practice.
Media Consent
I understand that photos or video may be taken during sessions for promotional and marketing purposes, including social media use, unless I clearly state otherwise prior to participation.
Acknowledgment
By participating, I confirm that I have read, understood, and voluntarily agree to this waiver and informed consent.
