Insurance geared toward yoga teachers

Many yoga teachers may report an aversion to business, thus the reason they are in a healing arts career rather than a corporate office. However, there is still a great need to apply the basic concepts of business to one’s practice as a yoga instructor. Fortunately, this should not mean sacrificing any of the principles of your practice. It is simply good business and, in the end, common sense.

One of the principles of professional practice is securing an appropriate insurance policy. This is done in order to protect your business and assets in the case a legal claim is made against you from a customer or client. When people are in a business that involves constant interaction with customers or clients—especially hands on interaction—obtaining the right insurance policy is necessary.

For yoga instructors, this means signing up for yoga instructor insurance. Geared specifically toward practitioners who provide the same kinds of services you do, day in and day out, a yoga insurance policy will be able to cover your needs and provide peace of mind.

For starters, yoga instructor liability insurance will give you the broad safety net of general liability coverage. This is a must-have component of insurance protection for nearly every business. The general liability portion of your yoga instructor liability insurance policy will be there to protect you in case a client ever slips, trips or falls on your property and decides to file a claim against you for damages. As you can see, the safety net of general liability insurance is a good one to have in place.

You yoga teacher liability insurance policy should also offer you malpractice liability insurance, for protection in case a client ever sues you for malpractice, which translates to a lack of skill or competence on your part as a professional reflexologist. Of course, it is difficult if not impossible to imagine such a scenario taking place, but when a person works with members of the public there is no way to account for the unexpected—thus the need for liability insurance.

Among the other aspects of coverage you should get with a high quality yoga teacher insurance policy are product liability coverage, rental damage coverage, reimbursement for lost or stolen work equipment and even identity protection insurance. By doing your homework and finding the best possible yoga teacher insurance program, you will be able to get all of the above, along with a few extra perks, with one policy.

You may think such thorough coverage and service will cost too much money, but that is a misconception. You can get a top notch yoga teacher liability insurance policy for an annual fee of around $160, which is typically deductible.
