1.  I am or will be participating in Virtual or Studio Classes, Workshops or Specialized Training (hereinafter called “Programs”) offered by Butterfly Transformation & Healing, LLC (DBA Hot Yoga RTP/Cary/Morrisville or "Hot Yoga RTP/Cary/Morr") during which I will receive information and instruction about yoga, fitness, health & wellness. These classes include exertion by me, in my self-selected virtual space or in a heated room (about 105 degrees Fahrenheit, 40% humidity).  I understand and agree that such activity and exertion may be difficult and strenuous and may cause or aggravate a physical injury or medical condition. I am fully aware and accept the risks and hazards involved.  I understand and approve the session recordings and photos which may be taken to support student training, virtual classes, social media or other studio events.  

2.  I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with my physician/health care provider to confirm appropriate medical advice or clearance prior to participating in studio Programs.  I also understand my responsibility to continuously monitor my health and seek guidance from my physician/health care provider should I encounter any discomfort, and to confirm that I am physically able to continue participation. 

3.  I represent that I am physically fit, and I have no medical condition or injury that would prevent my full participation in studio Programs or present a danger to others.  I understand that it is my continuing responsibility to inform the instructor(s) at Hot Yoga RTP/Cary/Morrisville of any previous or new medical conditions, injuries or surgeries impacting my performance prior to taking classes as well as other times as I acquire information.

4.  I agree to comply with the following [Studio Safety, Health, and Etiquette] guidelines, and I understand that any violation of the following commitments will result in termination of my membership with zero refund required.

• RESERVATIONS REQUIRED FOR CLASS: I understand that reservations are required to attend classes.   I understand that for identity safety & data security, there are no on-site purchase transactions (also called "walk-ins").  I understand that I have to self-purchase a single, multi-class, or unlimited package option and then join the class I want to attend by accessing the website and messaging the studio at (919) 410-7330 if I need help.  I understand that the profile I create uniquely belongs to me and cannot be shared with anyone else.  I commit that I have only created 1 profile account for myself and I will contact the studio if I have questions or need help (919) 410-7330.  I understand that the studio systems are monitored regularly, and that my membership is at risk if I am found to be using other profiles or sharing my unique profile. 
• PROFILE ID FOR STUDIO ARRIVAL: When I create my profile, I agree to upload my desired photo to my personal profile or allow a teacher to take a safety photo at the studio entrance for ongoing ID verification when I attend classes.  I understand that this prevents anyone from attempting to use my profile & classes.
• NOT FEELING WELL? I will not attend studio classes if I don't feel well. I understand that this helps to keep myself and other practitioners safe.  As needed for safety, I consent to a forehead or wrist temperature check at the studio entrance.  I understand that I cannot take class if my temperature exceeds 100 degrees. 
• CANCELLATION:  If I need to cancel, I will remove myself from class or message the studio that I'm safe and cannot make it.  If studio cancels class due to inclement weather, health issue or other event, I understand that the studio targets notification by MIDNIGHT of the evening prior to impacted class, or at the latest, 2 hours prior to the impacted class.  If class cancels within 2 hours prior to start time, I understand that an emergency occurred and the studio will resolve each member individually who signed up for class.
• LATE ARRIVAL: I understand that the studio doors will unlock for admission just before class time.  I will wait in my car for studio to open just before class start time, and I will follow the current mask and distancing guidelines per local & state mandate.  I understand that if the studio door is locked, then the studio is closed, OR class has already started.  I will not continue to pull on the door handle with force.  I will not tap-knock-bang on studio windows, so as to avoid risk of glass breakage or interruption of ongoing class.  I understand that I will be accountable to pay for any damage to studio front door and windows as a result of these actions.
• WHAT YOU MUST BRING: Upon arrival, I understand that I am required to show my mat and body-sized towel for practice.  I understand that I cannot practice without a yoga mat and a body-sized towel in hot classes with peak humidity (this includes all 26&2 and YYR classes).  In other classes, I understand that towel usage of large towel is at my discretion.
• SWEAT ETIQUETTE: After hot room class, I will clean & dry the hot room space I used (no puddles), dry my body, and cover my feet as needed in common areas, so that I don't create puddles or wet trails (slip hazards) causing safety risk for students and/or massage patrons.  I understand that my membership is at risk without refund if I repeatedly ignore these guidelines and-or if my behavior causes significant safety risks, events or customer complaints.  
  
• SWEAT ETIQUETTE: In common areas, if my body-clothing is wet, I will NOT sit directly on benches as a safety & courtesy precaution for other patrons.  I will bring extra towels as needed so that I will not drip on studio furniture or floors in shared areas and walkways.  I understand that my membership is at risk without refund if I repeatedly ignore these guidelines and-or if I cause significant safety risks, events or customer complaints.   
• HOT ROOM ETIQUETTE: I understand and will adhere to the requirement that cell phones, keys, and personal belongings are kept outside of the hot room, unless on-call physician or staff.  I understand that there is no recording of classes. I will only bring mat, large towel, and water into the hot room and I understand that the studio is not responsible for my belongings.   
  
• CULTURE ETIQUETTE: I agree to speak and act with safety, compassion & respect for our studio and its community of practitioners and teachers, so as to sustain an ongoing safe environment free of judgment, bullying, micro-inequity, and/or other language-actions-behaviors deemed inappropriate by Butterfly Transformation & Healing, LLC (DBA Hot Yoga RTP/Cary/Morrisville). 
  
• CULTURE ETIQUETTE: I understand that the yoga room is a sacred space.  I will maintain a whisper or low voice in respect for others resting, praying, meditating or practicing around me.
• PAYMENT: I understand that if I purchase monthly auto-withdrawal, I am required to email studio at hotyogartpcarymorr@gmail.com or text message studio at (919) 410-7330 with request to stop membership.  
• PAYMENT: If I attend class without payment, I understand that a single class will automatically be charged without refund, until otherwise resolved with another package option.  If this happens, I will contact the studio at (919) 410-7330 to confirm other options.
  
• ACCOUNT ISSUES: I understand that refunds are not provided for unplanned changes in my personal schedule. If my classes expire, I understand that I can request transfer of expired classes FROM PRIOR MONTH to the next package purchased of equal or greater value.  I understand that expired classes older than prior month cannot be transferred.
• SPECIALS: I understand and agree to provide accurate and current proof of age, education, military and/or other status to qualify for various studio [Membership Options/Specials].  I understand that ClassPass, Groupon-Living Social and other discounts are not accepted, and I will not attempt to redeem discounted admission when I attend classes.
• RENTAL&RETAIL DISCONTINUED: I understand that post-pandemic, the studio no longer provides mats, towels, and props to minimize risk with spreading disease, bacterial, viral, or fungal infection.  As needed, I will bring my own props such as yoga blocks, towels, balls and straps.
