Yoga teacher insurance is there when accidents happen

When you first decided to become a yoga teacher, the last thing on your mind was most likely liability insurance. Those who train to teach yogis of all ages often do so because they have a passion for yoga and wish to share that passion. However, the fact remains that yoga teacher liability insurance may be necessary before you can begin your career as a professional yoga teacher.

At first, the whole topic of yoga instructor liability insurance may sound pretty confusing. One of the best ways to explain the need for yoga instructor liability insurance may be to compare it with the automobile insurance that is required in order to drive. Even though you do not get into accidents every day, and perhaps you may never even have a single accident, this insurance is a legal necessity.

Yoga instructor liability insurance, much like automobile insurance, is designed to protect you, the professional yoga teacher, against the legal and financial fallout of accidents as well. The type of accident we are talking about is, of course, quite different from a car crash, though.

Yoga instructor liability insurance also is designed to protect the professional yoga teacher against other forms of accidents, in which the student or the student’s parents may come to believe an injury of some kind was caused due to incompetence on the part of the yoga teacher.
