Are You Legally Protected from Sexual Harassment Claims?
 One yoga studio in Florida faced a nightmare situation: a studio manager accused a co-owner of harassment. No procedures, no policy, no clear legal protection.


What Went Wrong
 No employee handbook. No staff policies. No owner agreement. No way to enforce removal of the accused owner. Without the right agreements, the entire business and community was exposed.

The Hard Legal Truth
 When you don’t have written procedures and clear studio rules, you’re not just vulnerable—you’re negligent. Cory walks through exactly what needs to be in place to keep your staff safe, your business compliant, and your legal risk as low as possible.

Key Takeaways:
 ✔️ Include consent clauses in all waivers
 ✔️ Create clear studio policies for inappropriate conduct
 ✔️ Ensure contractor and employee agreements outline behavior and consequences
 ✔️ Add ownership enforcement terms to your shareholder/operating agreement
