Releases & Waivers

About this template

This yoga waiver form template runs on Formester's drag-and-drop form builder, sized for yoga studios, private instructors, and retreat operators. Capture the practitioner's injury history, current condition, acknowledgement of risk, and signed release in one flow.

Replace the paper waiver at the door. New students fill the form before class starts, sign with e-signature, and the PDF goes to the studio's records. Encrypted in transit and at rest.

Use conditional logic to reveal injury-specific blocks (back, knee, shoulder), surface a pregnancy disclosure for prenatal classes, or scope different waivers per class type (heated, restorative, advanced).

Auto-send the signed waiver to the practitioner via Autoresponder Email, route every submission to your studio management software via webhooks, and skip the manual data entry.

How to customize this yoga waiver form

Six steps to a studio-ready yoga waiver.

Brand the header

Replace the placeholder organization name, logo, address, and contact details with your brand. Set primary colors so the form matches the page it lives on.

Configure the injury and condition screen

Add or remove the conditions checklist (back, knee, shoulder, neck, pregnancy, high blood pressure, recent surgery). Each surfaces a notes field for severity and current limitations.

Update class-type disclaimers

Add your class menu (vinyasa, hot, restorative, prenatal, aerial). Each class surfaces its specific disclaimer (heat, inversions, equipment) at submission.

Add experience-level capture

Capture experience level (beginner, intermediate, advanced) so instructors know what to expect. New students get the more thorough intake; returning students see the short form.

Wire delivery

Push every submission to your CRM or e-vault through a webhook, or use Zapier for fan-out to email, Slack, and notifications. Turn on Autoresponder Email if the signer should receive a copy.

Publish and share

Embed the form on your site, share the direct link by email, or generate a QR code for in-person signing. Every submission lands in the dashboard with a clean PDF for the file.

When to use this yoga waiver form

Heat-specific disclaimer surfaces. Captures heat tolerance and hydration acknowledgement.

Pregnancy block surfaces (trimester, due date, OB clearance). Aligned with prenatal-specific safety guidelines.

Yoga retreat

Multi-day retreat. Captures lodging, dietary restrictions, and the full liability release in one form.

Private one-on-one session

Deeper intake. Captures specific goals, injury history, and the broader scope of private instruction.

Questions we get a lot

Operator and signer questions about security, integrations, jurisdiction, and configuration.

Is the submission data secure?
Yes. Every submission is encrypted in transit and at rest. Add a custom subdomain on paid plans so the form lives on your own URL through the entire flow.
Can I capture a signature on the waiver?
Yes. The template includes an e-signature field, and the signed PDF is generated automatically on submission. Both parties can countersign if your workflow needs it.
Can I auto-send a copy to the signer?
Yes. Turn on Autoresponder Email to send the completed PDF to the signer the moment they submit. No manual follow-up required.
Can I route every submission to my system of record?
Yes. Push each submission via a webhook for real-time delivery, or use Zapier to fan out to your CRM, e-vault, and ops stack. Google Sheets sync works if you just need a log.
Can the same waiver cover multiple class types?
Yes. Use a class-type dropdown (vinyasa, restorative, heated, prenatal, advanced) and conditional logic to surface the relevant disclaimers for each. One master waiver covers your whole schedule.
How do I track injuries across visits?
Capture injury history in the intake. Push to your studio management tool via webhook so the next class's intake picks up prior injuries. Most students won't need to redo the full intake every visit.
