Anyone experiencing flu-like symptoms the week the workshop starts is asked to stay home. Anyone who develops such symptoms during the workshop is asked to inform the facilitators as soon as possible so we can make the necessary arrangements for everyone’s safety.
Please note: Although we are requesting people to test, we cannot guarantee a Covid-free environment.Because these workshops can promote strong physical and emotional release, it is not advised for persons with a history of cardiovascular disease, including angina or heart attack, high blood pressure, glaucoma, retinal detachment, osteoporosis, significant recent physical injuries or recent surgery.
These workshops are also not advised for persons with severe mental illness or seizure disorders or for persons using major medications. Pregnant women are advised against taking this workshop. Persons with asthma should bring their inhaler and consult with the facilitators. Persons with infectious or communicable diseases are asked to avoid these workshops.
