While we aim to maintain a tranquil and healthy environment for our students, there are various risks associated with travel and participation.  Risks can include, but are not limited to :

1.  Injury in participation - While we guide our students through safe techniques, it is not impossible to suffer an injury while participating in  this program.  We must insist that students maintain medical insurance adequate for travel and potential out of country medical care.

2.  Dehydration - The school will provide unlimited filtered drinking water, and tea.  It is important to listen to your body and keep your consumption of fluid up.  Students will find they need to drink substantially more water, and often add in electrolytes.

3.  Dangers off-site and in transit - Isla Mujeres is known throughout Mexico and the Caribbean as a safe and tranquil location to vacation and explore.  With that said, there are dangers in any community.  Kootenay Yoga School is not responsible for any accident on or off the school property.  We ask that students explore with caution, enjoy the island with a friend or two, and use careful judgement around off-site activities. 

4.  Covid - Although the island has traditionally had very low cases of covid, there is still the risk of contracting this while in the program or in transit.  We insist that students notify us immediately if they have any symptoms of illness.  In the case that symptoms align with those of Covid 19, students will be required to take a test and isolate.  Kootenay Yoga School is not responsible for costs associated with this, but will assist students in completing the program or making up missed educational hours where possible.

5.  Mosquito illness - Isla Mujeres has had cases and seasons where various mosquito illnesses are present.  These illnesses can include Zika, Chikungunya, and most commonly Denque Fever.  While these illnesses are often not serious, in some cases they are.  We ask that students research the risks and speak with their trusted medical professional should they have questions specific to the risk associated with these illnesses.  Kootenay Yoga School will maintain a regular spray schedule at the school, and will provide supplementary mosquito repelling products - but in general students are responsible for supplying these things.  Kootenay Yoga School is not responsible for medical care ore expenses associated with a mosquito illness.  Here are a few excellent sites to learn more about theses risks:
