  • Assumption of Risk 

    • While Tranquility Rising LLC is dedicated to ensuring the safety of all guests, all individuals participating in its retreats must assume the risk inherent in travel and yoga practice. Our retreat takes place in a location that is remote where there is little or no access to traditional medical services or hospital facilities for serious health issues. You may be visiting places where the political, cultural, and geographical attributes of the location present risks and physical challenges that are greater than those present in your country of residence. We use information from government foreign departments and reports from our contacts in assessing whether our retreats should be scheduled and/or continued. Nevertheless, it is your own responsibility to familiarize yourself with all possible relevant travel information related to your itinerary. You acknowledge that your decision to travel is made in consideration of this information and that you assume the risks involved with such travel.

  • Roommate Assignments

    • Room rates are per person and may require shared occupancy, when booked at shared occupancy rates. If you have booked a double or shared room without a roommate, we will do our best to assign you a same-sex roommate. If we are unable to find a suitable solution, you will be required to upgrade to a single room or join a shared room at the pro-rated price.

  • Physical Training Release of Liability

    • Express assumption of risk: I, the undersigned, am aware that there are significant risks involved in physical training, including but not limited to, the physical training inherent to all yoga exercise activities, and that my participation in any such physical training program carries with it the potential for death, injury, and/or property damage. The risks include, but are not limited to, falls which can result in serious injury or death; injury or death due to negligence on the part of myself, my training partner, or other people around me; injury or death due to improper use or failure of equipment; strains and sprains; those risks caused by terrain, facilities, temperature, weather, condition of athletes, equipment, vehicular traffic, actions of other people including, but not limited to, participants, volunteers, spectators, coaches, and trainers and lack of hydration. These risks are not only inherent to physical training and athletics, but are also present for volunteers and spectators. I am aware that any of these above mentioned risks may result in serious injury or death to myself and or my partner(s). I willingly assume full responsibility for the risks that I am exposing myself to and accept full responsibility for any injury or death that may result from participating, volunteering or watching in any physical training, including this yoga program. I realize that liability may arise from negligence or carelessness by the persons or entities being released, from dangerous or defective equipment or property owned, maintained or controlled by them or because of their possible liability without fault. I acknowledge that I have no physical impairments, injuries, or illnesses that will endanger me or others.

    • I acknowledge that I am willingly participating in these activities and that I have assumed all risks as described above. In consideration for my being allowed to participate in the activities offered, I, the undersigned hereby release Tranquility Rising LLC, their principals, agents, employees, and volunteers from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions or rights of action, which are related to, arise out of, or are in any way connected with my participation in this activity, including those allegedly attributed to the negligent acts or omissions of the above mentioned parties. This agreement shall be binding upon me, my successors, representatives, heirs, executors, assigns, or transferees. If any portion of this agreement is held invalid, I agree that the remainder of the agreement shall remain in full legal force and effect. If I am signing on behalf of a minor child, I also give full permission for any person connected with the hosting organization to administer first aid deemed necessary, and in case of serious illness or injury, I give permission to call for medical and or surgical care for the child and to transport the child to a medical facility deemed necessary for the wellbeing of the child.

    • Indemnification: The participant recognizes that there is risk involved in the types of activities offered. Therefore the participant accepts financial responsibility for any injury that the participant may cause either to him/herself or to any other participant due to his/her negligence. Should the above mentioned parties, or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney’s fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to reimburse them for such fees and costs. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless the hosting organization, their principals, agents, employees, and volunteers from liability for the injury or death of any person(s) and damage to property that may result from my negligent or intentional act or omission while participating in activities offered. This includes but is not limited to parks, recreational areas, playgrounds, areas adjacent to main building, and/or any area selected for training.

  • Food Allergies and Allergies Release of Liability

    • An allergen-free environment, including but not limited to food allergens, cannot be guaranteed on  retreats hosted by Tranquility Rising LLC. Therefore, the released parties cannot guarantee that any particular food product is free of all traces of any particular allergen, that consumption of a food product will not result in some form of allergic reaction, or that the participant will not come into contact with any allergens while on retreat. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that he/she is aware of such risks and that participation in the event will expose the participant to food, activities and persons that may result in exposure to allergens and injury and, in that regard and assuming such risks, the undersigned hereby fully releases and discharges the Released Parties from any and all liability and/or responsibility to the participant, the undersigned, or any third party for death and/or injuries to the participant, and/or any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, or any damages that arise out of or relate to participant’s participation in Tranquility Rising LLC’s retreats and/or exposure to food allergens

  • General Release and Waiver of Liability

    • In consideration of Tranquility Rising LLC’s acceptance of your reservation, you agree, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to release, waive, discharge, hold harmless, and indemnify Tranquility Rising LLC and its officers, employees, agents, independent contractors, licensees, guides, and other representatives (the “Indemnified Parties”) from any and all claims, damages, lost profits, lost earnings, consequential, exemplary, direct, indirect, or punitive damages or otherwise which may arise out of or occur during your travel and/or stay in connection with the trip, the retreat, or any activities conducted in conjunction therewith, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties; and regardless of the situation or circumstances giving rise to the claim, you hereby permanently waive any claims you have or may at any time have, against the Indemnified Parties. You further agree, by accepting the additional inherent dangers and risks associated with travel and the retreat, not to make any claim against or seek any compensation from the Indemnified Parties with regard to any personal injury, illness, or death suffered by you or damage to or loss of property sustained by you as a result of your participation in the trip or the retreat. You have been advised and urged to obtain travel insurance to cover against loss resulting from trip cancellation or interruption, weather, natural disaster, strike, illness, job reasons, accident, sickness, evacuation, pre-existing medical conditions, baggage delay, loss, theft, and other losses associated with travel. You acknowledge that whether or not you elect to purchase or not purchase travel insurance, you will not look to any of the Indemnified Parties for reimbursement for any loss suffered or occurring during your travel and/or stay
