This is the statement of personal responsibility that I am now distributing to all my yoga students:
Statement of Personal Responsibility
The information provided in this class is educational in nature and should not be construed as medical advice. We believe that all individuals
have the right and responsibility to make their own healthcare decisions, based upon their own research. That research can include, but is
not limited to:
reading books, medical journals, and online articles.
talking to others who have had similar experiences.
consulting medical practitioners or practitioners of other health professions.
most importantly, asking the Lord for wisdom and guidance.
This information is only one source of information that can be used to make healthcare decisions.
We also believe that people are competent to make their own healthcare decisions and should be encouraged to do so. Whereas mainstream
culture encourages us to make no decisions about our health without first consulting a medical doctor, we believe that each person has the
right to make informed decisions about their health without necessarily first engaging in such a consultation. Not only is all the information
available to physicians in the form of textbooks, medical journals, etc. available to the average person if they choose to avail themselves of
such information, but each person's common sense provides him or her with an important and sound basis for making decisions. We feel that
people should learn to educate themselves, to care for themselves, and to ask God for wisdom, rather than making them feel that they must
only rely upon an "expert."
We take no responsibility for what people do with this information or the choices made. Please take the information we provide, and do further
research. Then consult your family and your heavenly Father (in prayer) before you make a final choice, which is your responsibility.
