Comprehensive Holistic Insurance Tailored for You and Your Business
Get a QuoteTai Chi instruction is a rewarding practice that promotes wellness, balance, and mindfulness among participants.
At Holistic Gold, we understand that while Tai Chi is generally low-impact, teaching any physical discipline carries unique professional risks. Our specialised Tai Chi Instructor Insurance provides comprehensive protection designed specifically for non-combat Tai Chi teachers working across various settings.
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 Tai Chi Instructor Insurance includes essential coverages specifically tailored to protect professionals in your field:
This fundamental coverage protects you if a student 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.
If you provide or sell products to your students, such as instructional materials, practice aids, or wellness items, this coverage protects you if these items cause injury or damage. This is particularly relevant for instructors who develop their own teaching tools or recommend specific equipment for home 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 £10,000 of financial loss coverage in our policies.
We also offer several optional covers that many Tai Chi instructors find valuable:
Provides financial support if you’re unable to work due to an injury, helping replace lost income during recovery periods.
Covers your teaching equipment, demonstration materials, and other professional resources against damage, theft, or loss.
A legal requirement if you employ assistants or administrative staff, protecting you against claims from employees who are injured or become ill through their work.
Our Tai Chi Instructor Insurance is designed specifically for qualified professionals teaching non-combat Tai Chi across the UK, including:
If you blend Tai Chi with other holistic disciplines such as Qigong, meditation, or yoga, we can create a bespoke policy that covers all aspects of your teaching activities, ensuring comprehensive protection without gaps in your coverage.
Teaching Tai Chi involves guiding students through precise physical movements and positions. Accidents can happen and if a client were to suffer an injury, they may make a claim against you. Without the appropriate insurance protection, you would be personally liable for any compensation claims.

Despite its gentle nature, there remains potential for claims if participants experience injuries or accidents during your classes.
Get a QuoteEven the most experienced and careful instructors face risks when working with the public, particularly when teaching groups with varying physical capabilities. If a client were to suffer an injury during a lesson, you could be held liable. A client may slip during their session, trip on an exercise mat or even fall over some equipment. Any injuries sustained could result in a costly compensation claim.
A client may suggest that your teachings have worsened a pre-existing condition or perhaps the advice you have given has not delivered the expected results. Any allegations of incorrect advice could lead to potential compensation claims. Defending these allegations can be costly, even if you are not at fault.
Having inappropriate insurance, or no insurance at all, is a real risk for Tai Chi instructors. Comprehensive insurance provides essential peace of mind, allowing you to focus on sharing the benefits of Tai Chi rather than worrying about potential liabilities.
With over 40 years of experience providing insurance to holistic and complementary professionals, Holistic Gold offers unparalleled expertise in protecting practitioners like you. We understand the unique nature of Tai Chi instruction and the specific risks you face when teaching this ancient practice.

While our standard Tai Chi Instructor Insurance covers teaching all age groups, when working with vulnerable populations such as seniors or rehabilitation clients, we recommend holding additional qualifications specific to these groups. Documentation of such training not only strengthens your insurance position but also demonstrates your commitment to safe, effective practice for these special populations.
If an incident occurs that might lead to a claim, contact us immediately, even if no formal claim has been made against you yet. Document everything thoroughly, including detailed notes about the class or session, any relevant communication with the affected party, and witness information if available.
To maintain valid insurance, we recommend keeping updated records of: your qualification certificates, continuous professional development activities, client waiver forms, health screening questionnaires, detailed lesson plans, and incident logs. While not all of these are strict requirements for policy validity, they strengthen your position in the event of a claim and demonstrate professional diligence.
