Please read this page in full before registering for a breathwork session, class, or event.
These terms cover what happens in your body during active breathwork, what we ask of you as a participant, and how any photo or video from a session may be used. By checking the box at checkout, you're confirming you've read this page and agree to the terms below.
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern participation in any breathwork session, class, workshop, retreat, or private intensive ("Session") offered by Mind Body Connection Lab, operating under More Joy LLC ("MBCL," "we," "us," or "the practice"), whether held in person or virtually. Registering for a Session, purchasing a ticket, or checking the acknowledgment box constitutes acceptance of these Terms.
Active breathwork uses conscious, connected breathing patterns that can bring on strong physical and emotional sensations. Depending on the technique and your own body, you may experience:
These responses are common and generally pass on their own once normal breathing resumes. You're always in control of your breath and can slow down, pause, or stop at any point during a Session.
Active breathwork is a powerful practice and isn't appropriate for everyone. You must consult with a physician or qualified healthcare provider before participating if any of the following apply to you:
Participation in any Session is entirely voluntary. You understand that breathwork involves inherent physical and emotional risk, and you're choosing to take part with full knowledge of that risk. You agree to listen to your body throughout a Session, to breathe at a pace that feels appropriate for you, and to inform the facilitator immediately if you feel unwell, unsafe, or want to stop.
MBCL facilitators are trained in breathwork facilitation but do not act as medical providers, therapists, or first responders during a Session. If you have a medical emergency, alert a facilitator or staff member immediately.
By participating in a Session, you release Mind Body Connection Lab, More Joy LLC, and their owners, facilitators, employees, and agents from any claim, liability, injury, or loss arising from your participation, to the fullest extent permitted by law. This release applies to physical injury, emotional distress, and any pre-existing condition that may be affected by breathwork practice. This release does not apply to harm caused by gross negligence or intentional misconduct on the part of MBCL.
Sessions may be photographed, filmed, live-streamed, or recorded for use in MBCL's marketing, educational, and archival materials, including but not limited to social media, the website, promotional content, and future program materials.
By attending a Session, you grant MBCL and More Joy LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide right to record, photograph, and use your likeness, voice, and image captured during a Session, in any format now known or later developed, without compensation, and without further notice or approval. This includes the right to edit, reproduce, publish, and distribute this content for business purposes.
If you prefer not to be photographed or filmed, let a facilitator know before the Session begins so accommodations can be made, such as being positioned outside camera range. Individual, private requests for exclusion cannot always be guaranteed in group or livestreamed formats, so please raise this as early as possible.
Refund, rescheduling, and cancellation terms for a specific offer, such as The First Shift, Breaking Patterns, or a private intensive, are outlined at the time of booking. MBCL reserves the right to reschedule or cancel a Session due to low enrollment, facilitator illness, or circumstances beyond our control, in which case registered participants will be notified and offered a make-up date or refund.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your participation in a Session will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in New York.
MBCL may update these Terms from time to time. The version in effect at the time of your registration is the version that applies to your participation.
