Stressed? Sore? Need 1 hour of “me” time?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, please consider joining your CALS Wellness Committee and RecWell for a lunchtime yoga session on Wednesday, December 8 from 12-1 p.m. The session will be via Zoom and is a great way to decompress mid-day during a busy December month of finals and holidays. The benefits of yoga include increased flexibility, increased strength, relaxation, balance (physically and mentally), and general fitness.

Assumption of Risks:
I understand that physical activity and participation related to CALS Virtual Yoga, by its very nature, carries with it certain inherent risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries and illnesses. Some of these involve strenuous exertions of strength using various muscle groups, some involve quick movement involving speed and change of direction, and others involve sustained physical activity, which places stress on the cardiovascular system and exposure to infectious disease. The specific risks vary from one activity to another, but in each activity the risks range from: 1) minor injuries and illness such as sprains, strains, and bruises, to 2) major injuries and illness such as contusions, fractures, internal injuries, respiratory and circulatory/cardiovascular events and complications, concussions, joint or back injuries, other musculoskeletal damages and injuries, and severe illness, to 3) catastrophic injuries and illnesses including paralysis and death. I understand that the university has advised me to seek the advice of my physician before participating in this activity. I understand that I have been advised to have health and accident insurance in effect and that no such coverage is provided for me by the University or the State of Wisconsin. I KNOW, UNDERSTAND, AND APPRECIATE THE RISKS THAT ARE INHERENT IN THE ABOVE-LISTED PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES.
BY CLICKING ON THIS LINK TO JOIN THE VIRTUAL FITNESS PROGRAM I HEREBY ASSERT THAT MY PARTICIPATION IS VOLUNTARY AND THAT I KNOWINGLY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS.
