Common questions about yoga insurance
Review answers to frequently asked questions about yoga liability insurance coverage.
How do I insure yoga equipment that travels with me?
A standard commercial property policy covers your yoga studio and its contents. However, if you bring your equipment to gyms, events, or clients' homes, you'll want to consider an inland marine insurance policy.
Inland marine insurance covers mobile equipment during its use and storage off-site, as well as during transit. You can usually add this coverage to your commercial property policy or business owner's policy (BOP) as an endorsement.
Can I get yoga insurance if I teach at multiple studios?
Yes, it's possible to get yoga instructor business insurance regardless of where you teach.
In some cases, you may need to add a gym or studio as an additional insured on your policy. You may also want to ask the gym where you work if they can add you to their policy as an additional insured.
If you teach at multiple gyms or studios, you'll need to make sure your yoga practice is covered at each place you offer classes.
Do yoga teachers need insurance for online classes?
Online yoga classes offer their own unique risks, especially since you're not physically next to your students ensuring safe form and safety. This is why having the right insurance and best practices is important.
Depending on your location, your insurance plan or state might require extra steps from you. Some of these include:
- Providing liability waivers for in-person classes, online classes, or both, before students can take part in your classes.
- Including disclaimers at the beginning of your pre-recorded videos or within social media and YouTube descriptions.
- Enforcing webcams during live sessions to adequately assess and guide students as they move through the positions.
When reviewing your coverage, it's best to customize your yoga liability insurance to include any modalities you need, such as live streaming, pre-recorded online content, and in-person classes. Working with a licensed insurance agent can help make sure you get the best yoga insurance for what you need.
Why is it important for yoga instructors to keep continuous coverage?
While yoga liability insurance by the day might seem cheaper upfront, continuous coverage is almost always the better solution for all businesses.
Plus, there are a few risks that come with choosing daily or hourly yoga liability insurance coverage, such as:
- Coverage gaps, which leave your business vulnerable to claims and lawsuits that might arise outside of your policy period
- Higher costs per day compared to year-round yoga instructor insurance coverage
- Poor insurance history because of policy turnover, which can lead to higher premiums on the next policy
Choosing continuous coverage is usually less expensive in the long run and provides more peace of mind. Because there aren’t gaps in your coverage, your business is always protected against third-party claims.
How do I find affordable yoga insurance?
It's easy to find affordable yoga liability coverage that matches your risks, budget, and insurance requirements. One way is to review rates from different insurance carriers, and with Insureon's easy online application, you're able to get free quotes from several companies.
There are a few other ways to save, such as:
- Bundling policies. The most popular option is a business owner's policy (BOP), which pairs your liability policy with property insurance to save money.
- Customizing policies. You can choose lower limits, a higher deductible, or certain exclusions to save on your premium.
- Focusing on safety. Fewer accidents mean fewer liability claims, which helps lower your insurance costs.
