SloFlow™ Waiver and Release Agreement

Last updated: 1 July 2026

Please read this Waiver and Release of Liability Agreement carefully. By participating in classes, workshops, or activities related to SloFlow™, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to all of the terms below.

1. Nature of the Somatic Fascia Release Practice

SloFlow™ is a somatic fascia release and physical wellness practice that utilizes specialized self-treatment methods (such as positioning the body on cedar blocks, foam rollers, or other self-massage aids), intentional breathing, and targeted body awareness exercises. These exercises are designed to stretch, decompress, and release restrictions within the fascial system. Participant understands that this involves direct pressure and physical compression on various muscle and tissue areas.

2. Participant's Physical Condition and Medical Clearance

The somatic practices and fascia release methods taught during classes are strenuous and involve intense focal pressure. Participant warrants that they are in good physical health and have no medical condition, injury, or impairment that would prevent safe participation. Participant is strongly advised to consult with a qualified medical professional before beginning SloFlow™ or any new movement practice, particularly if they are pregnant, nursing, recovering from surgery, or have chronic conditions (e.g. osteoporosis, cardiovascular conditions, spinal issues, or acute herniations).

3. Absolute Assumption of Risk

Participant is aware that participation in SloFlow™ carries inherent risks of physical injury, discomfort, soreness, bruising, or strain. Participant voluntarily assumes all responsibility and risk associated with their participation. Participant agrees to listen to their own body, monitor physical thresholds, modify movements to suit their individual capability, and immediately stop any technique or posture that causes sharp pain or extreme distress.

4. Absolute Release and Hold Harmless

Participant, on behalf of themselves, their heirs, executors, and administrators, hereby releases, waives, and forever discharges Heidi Hunter, Helen Ronnenbergh, SloFlow™, and their respective employees, assistants, and contractors from any and all liability, claims, demands, losses, actions, or damages arising out of or related in any way to participation in SloFlow™ activities. This includes, without limitation, direct or indirect injuries, medical expenses, or aggravation of pre-existing conditions, whether caused by the active or passive negligence of the Instructors or otherwise.

5. No Medical Advice or Claims

Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Instructors are somatic practitioners and certified block therapy instructors, but are not medical doctors, physical therapists, or registered healthcare professionals. Any guidance, instruction, suggestions, or advice given during classes, workshops, or in community forums is for general wellbeing and educational purposes only. It is not intended as medical diagnosis, treatment, or rehabilitation. Participant should never ignore or delay professional medical advice because of information presented by SloFlow™.

6. Photographic and Recording Release

Participant understands that online classes (including live zoom calls and Q&A sessions) may be recorded for playback inside the SloFlow™ community. If Participant turns on their camera, speaks during recordings, or posts photos/videos in the group, they grant the Instructors an irrevocable, royalty-free license to use those recordings and materials within the private student platform for educational and community support purposes.

7. Severability and Governing Law

If any portion of this Waiver is deemed invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining terms shall continue in full force and effect. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction where the Instructors operate.
