Disclaimer

General wellness disclaimer

The content shared by [Aayu Laxmi] through our website, consultations, classes, workshops, retreats, vlog, newsletters and social media is intended to inform, inspire and support your broader wellness journey. It reflects traditional Ayurvedic and yogic wisdom interpreted for modern living. Nothing contained in our offerings should be interpreted as the practice of medicine, medical diagnosis, or the provision of healthcare services.

Not medical advice & not a substitute for professional care

Our services are complementary to — and never a replacement for — professional medical care. We do not diagnose illness, prescribe pharmaceuticals, order or interpret medical tests, or treat disease. Ayurveda and yoga can sit gracefully alongside conventional medicine, and we encourage open communication between you and your healthcare team.

If you are experiencing a medical condition or symptom, or any sudden, severe or persistent concern, please consult a qualified physician without delay. Do not disregard, delay or discontinue professional medical advice because of anything you have read, heard or experienced through Aayu Laxmi.

Pregnancy, medical conditions & medications

If you are pregnant, trying to conceive, nursing, managing a chronic condition, taking prescription medication or preparing for or recovering from surgery, it is essential that you consult your doctor before participating in our offerings or adopting any dietary, herbal or lifestyle suggestion. Certain herbs, essential oils, postures and breathing practices may not be appropriate for your individual circumstances, and modifications may be required. Please disclose any relevant health information to us before and during sessions so we can adjust our guidance accordingly.

Herbs, diet & supplements

Any references to foods, herbs, spices, recipes, routines or supplements — whether in a consultation, on our website, or in our vlog and newsletters — are shared for educational purposes and reflect traditional Ayurvedic practice. Individual responses vary considerably. Herbal and dietary suggestions may interact with medications or underlying conditions. Always seek the guidance of a qualified physician or registered dietitian before introducing new herbs or supplements, particularly if you have allergies or take prescription medication.

Yoga & physical activity

Yoga, breathwork and related movement practices carry an inherent risk of injury, especially when undertaken without proper supervision or beyond your current capacity. Physical activity is not always suitable for everyone.

• Practise within your own limits and listen to your body at all times.
• Modify, rest or stop immediately if you feel pain, dizziness, shortness of breath or unwellness.
• Inform us of any injuries, limitations or health changes before each session so we can offer appropriate modifications.
• You are responsible for deciding whether a particular practice is right for you on any given day.

Consultations are educational & supportive

Ayurveda consultations and private sessions are educational and supportive in nature. They offer personalised guidance on lifestyle, diet, daily rhythm and wellbeing practices based on traditional principles. They are not a medical consultation in the clinical sense and do not establish a doctor–patient relationship. Any suggestions offered are intended to complement, not replace, the guidance of your healthcare providers.

No guaranteed results

Wellbeing outcomes depend on countless individual factors, including your constitution, consistency, lifestyle, medical history and circumstances. We do not guarantee any specific result from our consultations, classes, workshops or retreats. Accounts of benefit reflect individual experiences and are not a promise or warranty of the outcome you may experience.

Retreats & workshops

Participation in our workshops and retreats involves physical, social and sometimes travel-related activity, and carries inherent risks. By attending, you accept full responsibility for your own wellbeing during the event and agree to participate within your capacity. Certain retreats may require a health declaration. Full terms governing bookings, conduct, health requirements, cancellations and liability are set out in our Terms & Conditions, which are incorporated here by reference.

Testimonials reflect individual experiences

Testimonials, reviews and personal stories shared on our website, social media or printed materials reflect the genuine, individual experiences of those clients. They are not a guarantee, representation or warranty of the results you may experience. Results vary from person to person, and no two wellness journeys are alike.

External & affiliate links

Our website and correspondence may contain links to third-party websites, products or services, some of which may be affiliate links for which we receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. We only share resources we believe may be of value. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, safety or practices of any third-party site, and your use of such sites is at your own risk.

Professional advice disclaimer

Content provided by Aayu Laxmi is general in nature and may not reflect the most current developments or apply to your particular situation. It is not legal, financial, medical, psychological or other professional advice. For matters requiring specialised expertise, please consult an appropriately qualified professional.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither Aayu Laxmi nor its practitioners, staff, partners or affiliates shall be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages arising from your use of our website or services, or from your reliance on any information, guidance or material provided — whether in consultations, classes, workshops, retreats, written content or otherwise. You use all such information and participate in all activities entirely at your own risk.

Changes

We may update this Disclaimer from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review it periodically. Continued engagement with our services after a change takes effect indicates your acceptance of the updated Disclaimer.
