Be professional with yoga insurance

The practice of teaching yoga is a gentle one indeed. With such a light and peaceful practice, one might wonder why a yoga instructor would ever need to purchase yoga insurance. However, beneath the healing aims and soft touch of yoga, those therapists who teach yoga as a profession must understand that they are still running a business.

In other words, certain principles of business must be employed in order to maintain a thriving yoga teacher business. One of these principles of business is obtaining yoga instructor insurance — in this case, it would be yoga teacher insurance. Such a policy is worth the minimal annual fee for the general liability coverage alone.

This general liability coverage, which should be a main component of any yoga teacher liability insurance policy, is there to protect you in case any one of your clients ever slips, trips, falls or otherwise endures an accident on the property of your practice. If such an incident occurs on your property, and the client suffers some sort of harm, he or she may decide to file a claim against you. In this case, you will want the protection of general liability insurance on your side.
