Working out the body, mind and soul

Yoga is one of history’s most ancient spiritual practices, offering those who practise it a number of potential benefits, from building strength and helping relieve stress, to improving flexibility and preventing injury. However, there’s always the possibility that a yoga session goes wrong, despite it being one the lowest intensity forms of exercise around. All it takes is one trip for a client to be injured, which is one of multiple reasons why insurance for yoga teachers is so important.

Here at Holistic Gold, our dedicated yoga teacher liability insurance package gives instructors all the protection they need. So, if you’re a mobile or freelance yoga teacher, or work from your own premises, you can carry on doing what you do best knowing that you’re safeguarded whatever happens.

What is Yoga Teacher Insurance?

Yoga teacher insurance, also known as yoga teacher liability insurance or yoga instructor insurance, is a type of coverage that protects yoga professionals from any legal and financial liabilities that arise during the course of their occupation. 

What yoga instructor insurance involves in practice depends on both on the teacher’s individual requirements and the provider, with common covers including public liability insurance, products liability cover, and financial loss insurance.

Why Do I Need Yoga Teacher Insurance?

Yoga teacher insurance ensures you won’t be left out of pocket should something go wrong on the job, like if a customer is harmed or their property is damaged during one of your yoga sessions. With an insurance policy, your provider and not you will pay out for any related expenses. 

For example, yoga instructor insurance protects you financially if you’re faced with a liability claim after incidents of malpractice, negligence, or misconduct. Insurance for yoga teachers covers the medical, legal, and potential compensation costs involved in such incidents.

Baby yoga insurance

Baby yoga is where parents help their baby to perform certain movements that build their strength and coordination for physical developments like sitting and crawling. Unlike standard yoga, there’s usually a focus on play and song.

Laughter yoga therapy insurance

Laughter yoga involves various exercises to provoke prolonged voluntary laughter. Typically done in a group, it has the potential to provide a range of physiological and psychological benefits.

What does our Yoga Teacher Insurance cover?

Our yoga insurance isn’t a generic cover — it has been designed to offer you protection that’s specific to your needs. As part of this, you’ll automatically get public liability cover, which insures you against claims related to third party injuries or property damage arising from your business activities. However, this doesn’t cover claims regarding professional services, which is why we also give you malpractice insurance should something go awry during a yoga session.

Products liability and financial loss insurance are also part of a standard Holistic Gold policy, though the exact combination of covers you receive as standard will depend on whether you work from your own premises, or offer yoga instruction on a mobile or freelance basis.

In addition to the automatic covers you get as standard, it’s a good idea to add some optional covers to create the most robust yoga insurance policy possible. Again, what you go for depends on the nature of your operation — for instance, you’ll want buildings cover if you have a premises to protect. Or perhaps you work on a mobile basis, meaning stock & equipment insurance is especially important to you.

Whatever cover you need, Holistic Gold has you covered. Browse a full list of options below, and join our community to create your perfect insurance package with a simple online quote now.

Yoga Teacher Insurance FAQs

Do I need insurance if I teach online classes?

Yes, online yoga teachers still need to obtain insurance to protect themselves from potential liabilities. Even though the teaching is conducted virtually, there are still potential risks involved, such as injury claims or accusations of negligence.

Do I need to have yoga studio insurance as well?

Having yoga studio insurance is certainly advisable should you own a yoga studio. This safeguards your finances if incidents like natural disasters, fires, or vandalism result in damage to your premises.

Do I need to insure my yoga equipment?

Similarly, it’s a sensible idea to get insurance for your yoga equipment too. This not only protects you in the cases of natural disasters, fires, or vandalism outlined above, but if your equipment is stolen or lost.

  • The level of cover you require
