to its objective and which pre-date it.

Appendix: Health Notice for Participants
A German translation of this document is available electronically on request

1. The Participants should be in good physical condition and be able to participate in the exercise
to join the program. Winyasa strongly recommends that Participants consult with their physician
before beginning any exercise program.

As a general rule, the remarks or comments made regarding exercise are not intended for
individuals with a medical condition, pregnant females or teenagers.
Individuals with known medical conditions such as heart conditions, physical ailments, previous
operations, cardiovascular complaints, lung disease, joint complaints, pregnancy problems or
other physical or health conditions must always seek the advice of their physician, regarding
whether it is safe to participate to the MinQi Program or any other exercise programs.
In the case of serious illnesses/ recent operations / rehabilitation measures, the Participants
must inform their physician of their participation to the MinQi Program. In case of doubt, the
attending physician should be contacted and written permission for participation should be
confirmed.
The Participants are advised to inform the course instructor of any illnesses that have already
been treated by a physician / therapist and to obtain the express permission of the attending
physician / therapist beforehand.
Participants should not try to diagnose themselves and of course if they believe any practice
might cause them to injure themselves, then they should stop immediately.
 

2. Even though all MinQi exercises are designed with the highest care for medical safety,
Participants should understand that when participating in any exercise or exercise program,
there is the possibility of physical injury. If the Participants engage in this exercise or exercise
program, they agree that they do so at their own risk, that they are voluntarily participating in
these activities, assume all risk of injury to themselves, and agree to release and discharge
Winyasa from any and all claims or causes of action, known or unknown, arising out of the
MinQi Program.

3. Winyasa (and its Personnel) is not a licensed medical care provider and represents that it has
no expertise in diagnosing, examining, or treating medical conditions of any kind, or in
determining the effect of any specific exercise on a medical condition. The information provided
is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. The
participation to the MinQi Program (weekly sessions and MinQi Videos) does not replace the
visit to a physician or other healing facilities, medication or psychotherapeutic facilities.
Participants should never disregard professional medical advice, or delay in seeking it,
because of something they have heard during a MinQi session or read on the Service Provider website or documentation. Participants should never rely on information provided by a MinQi
Trainer or in MinQi Videos in place of seeking professional medical advice.
