Essential Information For Yoga Studios, Wellness Businesses and Teachers (4th.ed)

COVID-19 has forced a fundamental change in the wellness business model. Many businesses are offering classes online and are discovering new opportunities. But who owns the videos; i.e., the studio or the teacher? What rights does the owner of the video have? What if a student watches an online class, is injured and pursues a claim against the studio or teacher? How do students sign enforceable releases? As businesses re-open their physical facilities, how do they protect themselves if a teacher or student contracts COVID-19 and pursues a claim for damages?

There are chapters on teaching students with pre-existing conditions, key yoga agreements, protection from liability, independent contractors, legal entities, social media, privacy, trademarks and leases. There is information on sexual abuse, ethics committees and codes of conduct. There are new chapters on online classes and COVID-19 risk. There are releases that cover liability for online yoga classes and COVID-19 risks. There is a work for hire agreement to determine ownership of videos, and terms of use that help protect studios from liability.  The book has been discounted 25%.
