Yoga mat or other soft, stable surface
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
During week 7, learners will be taught to stretch and pose with several yoga-based movements. Please ensure your child has adequate space if they would like to participate. For these movements, it is best not to wear shoes as this allows students to receive sensory input through their feet and helps with balance. A yoga mat can be helpful to reduce the risk of slipping. A blanket (on a stable surface) or carpeted area can be used in place of a yoga mat if one is not available. Students will benefit from having quick access to water throughout class as well. By enrolling in this course you agree to the following statement: "The instructor will take all reasonable care to ensure the classes are fun and safe; however, I understand that students will be engaging in some physical activity and therefore may involve some risk of injury. I assume these risks and take full responsibility for any personal injury sustained by my child which might occur as a result of participating in this program. I agree to discharge Alyssa Lorenz from any claim, cause of action or liability relating to any incident that may occur in connection to my child's participation in the above mentioned class."
