Light on Law Essential Information (Fourth Edition)

COVID-19 has forced a fundamental change in the business model of yoga studios and wellness businesses. Many are now offering video classes online. This has created issues around who owns the videos. Does the studio or the teacher own the video and what rights may they have? How does the business protect itself if a student watches an online class, suffers an injury and pursues a claim? 

As studios begin to re-open their physical facilities, how do they protect themselves from liability if a teacher or student contracts COVID-19 and pursues a claim for damages? What are best practices in keeping the teachers, students and staff safe?

There are chapters on best practices for teaching students with pre-existing conditions, key yoga agreements, protection from liability, independent contractors, legal entities, social media, privacy trademarks and leases. There is comprehensive information on sexual abuse, ethics committees and codes of conduct. 

The Fourth Edition covers these new topics:

Who Owns The Yoga Videos?

Liability For Online Video Classes-Waivers

Liability for COVID-19 Cases

It contains these new template agreements:

Form of Release for Online Classes and COVID-19 Risk (Students)

Form of Release of Claims Against the Studio for COVID-19 Risk (Teachers)

Work For Hire Agreement

Terms of Use

The book is in PDF form, is 150 pages long. The list price is $25 and has been discounted to $20.

I hope you find the Fourth Edition of my book a useful guide as we navigate this new world in which we live.
