HEALTH DISCLAIMER AND RELEASE

Effective date: November 4, 2026

 

Not medical advice

Ashley James is a yoga teacher, not a doctor, therapist or licensed healthcare provider. Breath is Here programs are for general wellness and education. They are not medical treatment, therapy, or a substitute for care from a qualified professional, and they don't diagnose, treat or cure any condition.

 

Check with your doctor first if you:

  • Are pregnant or recently gave birth

  • Have a heart condition, or high or low blood pressure

  • Have epilepsy or a history of seizures

  • Have a panic disorder, or a history of fainting

  • Have asthma, COPD or another breathing condition

  • Have had surgery recently

  • Have any condition that changes in breathing could affect

Listen to your body

Every practice is optional and can be modified. If you feel dizzy, lightheaded, tingly, short of breath, panicked or unwell, stop and return to your natural breath. If symptoms don't pass, get medical help.

If you're in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, in the US) or call 911.

 

Assumption of risk

Breath practice, like any physical or mental practice, carries some risk. By enrolling, you confirm that you're participating voluntarily, that you've considered whether it's right for your health, and that you accept responsibility for how you practice.

 

Release

To the fullest extent the law allows, you release Ashley James (doing business as Breath is Here) from claims for injury, illness or loss arising from your participation, except where caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

Your agreement

By enrolling in or using any Breath is Here program, you confirm you've read and agree to this Health Disclaimer and Release.
