Here’s the legal aspect of sharing information and support on a website – an agreement you enter when you use this site, Presence Parenting and/or services with Amy Phoenix and Arising Phoenix Solutions LLC. By using this site and services, you are agreeing to the information below.
Responsibility
You accept full responsibility for what you do with the information and support provided and you agree to make the most of your experience while you are here – asking questions and clarifying as necessary. The information and resources provided are done so with the intention to help people make the most of life and support well being. The services do not substitute for appropriate health care with a qualified professional. You are encouraged to continue any health care you may be currently receiving. Please feel free to refer health care professionals to this site if there are any questions about the nature of information and support provided.
Comment Policy
Please feel free to share comments that further the discussion in a helpful way or ask questions to clarify information. My main intention in responding to comments is to provide support and clarity. At times I may not respond directly to all comments.
Inflammatory or off topic comments will not be approved.
By sharing on the site, you grant Amy Phoenix the perpetual right to duplicate, edit and publish any original content you contribute (i.e. comments, forum posts or audios) to support the work of Amy Phoenix (i.e. future classes or print materials). You will not be financially compensated for the content used unless we have made an agreement to do so in advance.
Privacy Policy
Email addresses are never shared, rented, or sold. Affiliate links are occasionally shared. When these links are clicked, cookies are collected from the computer you are using to track the sale. The length of time these cookies are tracked varies from merchant to merchant and are only used to ensure affiliate payments are made to Amy Phoenix.
All private correspondence is kept completely confidential. The only caveat to this is in situations where a person is in danger of harming themselves or another. If such a situation arises the matter is discussed with the person of concern before anyone else is involved. In other words, if you intend to harm yourself or another and you tell me about it I will ensure accountability on your part by talking to you directly about your thoughts, feelings and other options.
When we choose to participate in open online discussion, such as on the blog, we are putting our “business in the street”, as it is said. We all benefit from parent-to-parent discussion and appreciate the willingness to be open and vulnerable, share what feels comfortable and respond to one another with sensitivity.
Parents participating in private online and forum discussion are expected to keep conversations confidential unless they have received permission from all people involved to share specific information.

An Invitation: Rest and Relaxation
If you are willing and feel it could be supportive for you, you are also invited to experience some rest and relaxation while you’re here. You can start by resting for a few moments right now. Bring your attention inside and gently scan through your body to release tension where that’s helpful for you. It’s okay to take a few moments for you.
Client Agreement for Yoga with Amy Phoenix
Welcome. I’m honored you are joining me in this yoga practice space – a space rooted in presence, trauma informed compassionate awareness, personal empowerment, and gentle care for mind, body and soul. This agreement is intended to support clarity, mutual understanding, and informed consent as we engage in a journey that blends movement, breath, and mindful reflection to support overall well-being.
🌿 Informed Participation
I understand that yoga involves physical movement as well as practices to support relaxation, nervous system regulation, mental clarity, and emotional balance. This may include breathing techniques (pranayama), guided meditation or awareness practices and a variety of physical postures (asanas).
These practices are designed to support flexibility, strength, circulation, and well-being across the body and mind. I acknowledge that I am invited—but never required—to participate, and that I can move at my own pace, honoring what feels safe and appropriate in my body. I understand that, as with any physical activity, there is a risk of injury and that such risks cannot be entirely eliminated. I agree to listen to my body, moving gently and intentionally, pausing to rest as needed, and seeking support if something does not feel right for me.
💗 Responsibility and Support
Yoga is not a substitute for medical or other health care. I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a healthcare provider before beginning any new movement practice, especially if I have medical conditions, am pregnant, or am postpartum. By signing below, I affirm that I am physically able to participate and that my healthcare provider has approved my involvement in yoga, if needed.
I understand: It is my responsibility to determine the appropriateness of yoga for my personal situation. I will notify the teacher of any relevant health considerations before class, if needed. Participation is voluntary and done at my own risk. I will take care of myself during class.
🌐 Online Offerings & Tech Considerations
If I participate in online classes (live or recorded), I acknowledge that the teacher may not be able to see or assess my movements in real time. I take full responsibility for moving in a way that supports my body’s needs. I also understand that online offerings may involve technical challenges beyond anyone’s control (e.g., internet issues, platform interruptions, device malfunctions), and I agree not to hold Amy Phoenix or Arising Phoenix Solutions responsible for these occurrences.
🤝 Waiver of Liability
By participating in yoga classes with Amy Phoenix, I voluntarily assume full responsibility for any risk of injury or harm arising from participation in yoga classes or sessions, whether in person or online. I agree to release and hold harmless Amy Phoenix and Arising Phoenix Solutions from any and all claims, liabilities, or damages connected to my participation. This waiver includes myself, my heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
I understand this agreement applies from the date of signing forward. With clarity and care, we begin. 🪷
