Terms & health disclaimer
These terms apply to jacobando.com, my recorded practices, my newsletter, and my live online sessions. The site and practices are offered by Insightful Relations LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company that does business as Jacob Ando ("I", "me"). By using them, you agree to these terms.

This is not medical care
Yoga Nidra, yoga, meditation, breathwork, and everything I share here are for general wellbeing and education. They aren't medical, psychological, or psychiatric advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and they don't replace care from a qualified professional. Taking part doesn't create a doctor, therapist, or clinical relationship between us.
I'm a yoga teacher, a certified meditation coach, and a CCAR-trained recovery coach. Recovery coaching is peer support. It isn't clinical addiction treatment or therapy.
Check in with your own care
Talk with your doctor or therapist before starting if you're pregnant, recovering from an injury or surgery, or living with a physical or mental health condition. Take particular care if you've experienced psychosis, significant dissociation, or trauma, or if you're in early recovery. Deep relaxation can sometimes bring up strong emotions or memories.
You are always in charge of your own practice. You can move, open your eyes, change position, or stop at any time, and you never need to explain why.
Where and when to listen
These practices are designed to make you drowsy. Never listen while driving, operating machinery, cooking, bathing, or anywhere it would be unsafe to fall asleep. Practice lying down or seated somewhere safe and comfortable.
Your responsibility
You take part voluntarily and accept the risks that come with any physical, breathing, or relaxation practice. To the fullest extent the law allows, you release me from claims arising from your use of the site, recordings, or sessions, except where I acted with gross negligence or intent to cause harm.
Recordings and writing
The recordings, scripts, writing, and images on this site belong to me unless noted otherwise. You're welcome to use them for your own personal practice and to share links to them. Please don't download and re-upload them, sell them, or use them to teach or in commercial products without my written permission.
Other websites
This site links to services such as YouTube, Google Meet, and LinkedIn. I'm not responsible for their content or how they handle your data.
No guarantees
I offer the site and practices as they are, and I can't promise any particular result, including better sleep. To the fullest extent the law allows, I'm not liable for indirect or consequential losses. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that can't be waived.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA. If you're a consumer, you also keep the protection of any mandatory laws of the country where you live.
Changes and contact
I may update these terms and will change the date above when I do. Questions: [email protected].
