08 | Can I Really Get Sued for That? The $1M Yoga Mat Lawsuit

A rash. A yoga mat. A $1 million lawsuit. Here’s why your waiver needs to go beyond the basics—and how to fix yours.

In this jaw-dropping episode, Cory shares a real story about a yoga studio that got sued for over $1 million—because of a rash allegedly caused by a shared mat.

The lawsuit wasn’t just shocking—it was expensive. And the worst part? The waiver the studio used was a generic template. It didn’t mention specific equipment. It didn’t mention skin reactions. And it didn’t give Cory the legal footing to dismiss the claim outright.

If you're using templated waivers or have no idea what yours says, this is a must-listen.

You’ll learn:

Why “generic” = dangerous when it comes to legal docs
What most wellness waivers miss (but shouldn’t)
How to strengthen your legal position with one simple change
