Get a QuoteAlexander Technique is a specialised educational method that focuses on improving posture, movement, and coordination by retraining habitual patterns of movement and posture.
At Holistic Gold, we understand the unique professional risks faced by Alexander Technique teachers who provide hands-on guidance to help students develop increased awareness of their body movements. Our dedicated Alexander Technique Insurance offers comprehensive protection designed specifically for practitioners in this field.
Insurance provided by a Standard & Poor’s A (Strong) rated insurer.
We’ve been working with businesses like yours for over 40 years.
Tailor-made insurance policies, made for specialists, by specialists.
Our comprehensive Alexander Technique Insurance includes essential coverages specifically tailored to protect professionals in your field:
This fundamental coverage protects you if a client or member of the public suffers an injury or property damage related to your teaching activities. Our standard policies include £3 million in public liability protection, with options to increase to £5 million if required by specific venues or clients.
If you provide or sell products to your students, such as support cushions, educational materials, or posture aids, this coverage protects you if these items cause injury or damage. This is particularly relevant for teachers who develop their own resources or recommend specific equipment as part of their teaching practice.
Also known as professional indemnity insurance, this crucial coverage specifically protects against claims arising from the professional services you provide. This protection covers legal defence costs and any compensation awarded.
This protects you against claims for purely economic losses that don’t involve physical injury or property damage. We automatically include substantial financial loss coverage in our policies to safeguard your practice against such claims.
We also offer several optional covers that many Alexander Technique teachers find valuable:
Provides financial support if you’re unable to work due to an injury, whether sustained during teaching or in your personal life.
Covers your teaching equipment, including tables, chairs, and educational resources against damage, theft, or loss.
If you employ assistants or administrative staff, this coverage is legally required and protects you against claims from employees who are injured or become ill as a result of working for you.
All our policies are customisable to your specific teaching activities, ensuring your coverage aligns with your unique practice.
Our Alexander Technique Insurance is designed specifically for qualified teachers and practitioners working across the UK, including:
If you incorporate other complementary practices alongside Alexander Technique, we can create a comprehensive policy that covers all aspects of your professional work, ensuring there are no gaps in your protection.
The Alexander Technique involves direct hands-on guidance and instruction that helps students improve postural habits and movement patterns. If a client were to suffer an injury as a result of your session, or were to claim that the results were not as intended, they may be liable to compensation. Without insurance protection, any compensation claims will need to be paid by you directly. This could put a huge financial strain on your business.

While the Alexander technique approach is gentle and generally safe, there are inherent risks that make professional insurance essential for every practitioner.
Get a QuoteEven the most skilled and conscientious Alexander Technique teachers can face claims. However experienced you are, accidents can happen and if a client suffers an injury from their treatment, you may be liable to pay compensation.
If the advice you give or the instructions you provide do not have the intended consequence, an affected client may bring a claim against you. Even if you are not at fault, the costs of defending such a claim can be high.
Without proper insurance, the financial impact of defending yourself could be devastating, even if you’re ultimately not found at fault. Legal fees alone can run into thousands of pounds.
