Consult with a physician regarding participation in yoga classes. Teachers will teach with compassion and care for students' bodies and minds, but students assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries or damages incurred as a result of participating in classes or workshops held by Yoga Freedom.Responsible Travel and Tourism Yoga Freedom retreats offer individuals the opportunity to enhance their health and well being in luxurious and natural surroundings. This involves traveling to different destinations in Guatemala, each with their own unique environmental, cultural and economic conditions. This policy is a demonstration of our commitment to the sustainability of the places we visit, and respect for those who live there. As part of every retreat we will:• Protect pristine natural environments by not littering and respecting local vegetation, sea life and wildlife.• Respect local customs and regulations• Contribute to the communities we visit by buying local and serving the community with volunteer karma yoga activitiesYoga Freedom values the people and places we visit though our retreats, just as we value the individuals who participate. * Our retreats only use accommodation and tourist facilities that are locally  owned. We ensure the staff working for these organisations are appropriately rewarded. * We provide a percentage of earnings from our retreats to local causes.
