General Yoga Discussion • Re: Secure the safety net of yoga teacher liability insuranc

Working as a professional kinesiologist often means helping clients learn how to best move and be in their own bodies. Many people who approach yoga teachers for assistance may have actually been through an injury or other physical trauma, or may be suffering from chronic pain or discomfort of some kind. For these folks, the professional yoga teacher may be working to help them gain a new awareness around optimal movement.

The primary reason that professional yoga teachers need for yoga teacher liability insurance is due to the fact that these movement educators are running a business. Clients book appointments and trade money for yoga teaching services. Similar to any other business—from a clothing shop to a medical clinic—those who run yoga practices should possess yoga teacher liability insurance. Beyond this primary reason for enrolling in a yoga teacher liability insurance program, there is a secondary reason why professional yoga teachers are wise to seek out such this insurance safety net of sorts. One could infer that, due to the fact that professional yoga teacher are physically working with clients, some of whom may already be suffering from pre-existing injuries or medical conditions, there could be a greater chance of some kind of claim being filed.

Think of your kinesiologist liability insurance as similar to automobile insurance, except instead of protecting you financially from the repercussions of an accident on the roads, it protects you financially from the repercussions of an accident or unexpected scenario at work.

General Yoga Discussion • Re: Yoga liability insurance covers unexpected accidents

As a professional yoga teacher, you may be able to think of a long list of good reasons why you should not have to purchase yoga liability insurance. However, none of those reasons really matter when this simple fact exists: accidents happen. Remember, a core piece of your yoga liability insurance policy is general liability insurance, which is there to provide coverage in case a client has an accident of some kind on the property of your yoga practice.

Just like any other business or service provider that does business with members of the public, where members of the public come onto the property of the business, yoga teachers need protection from the rare but possible occurrence of an accident. For example, imagine that a client happens to trip on her way into your session room, and the trip results in a broken ankle. If that client decides to file a claim against you for the damages, you will need the general liability portion of your yoga teacher liability insurance policy to provide the coverage you need.

Fortunately, the cost for a high quality yoga teacher liability insurance policy is quite low, most likely due to the fact that the odds of a client filing a claim against his or her reiki therapist are relatively low as well. This means that for less than a couple hundred dollars per year—usually a tax deductible expense—you can have the protection and peace of mind of yoga liability insurance.

General Yoga Discussion • Re: Liability insurance provides security to yoga instructor

As a yoga teacher, you get up close and personal with your clients on a regular basis. Whether your primary skill is providing technique support or business skills, or something else altogether, there is a reason you need yoga instructor liability insurance.

You see, each of these different skill sets involves very close work with a client and his or her body. That means you may need liability insurance more than folks who make their living in a more hands off manner. After all, one of the main purposes liability insurance serves is to protect you against a client’s claims of damage or injury, whether the damage or injury is allegedly due to a lack of skill or competence on your part or due to a product you used on your client.

The two forms of protection described above are malpractice insurance and product liability insurance, both of which should be included in a strong yoga teacher liability insurance policy. With this kind of coverage, you will be protected against those rare situations when a person might sue you for damage or injury.

Even though these occurrences are fairly rare, they are far from nonexistent. Again, this is why yoga teacher liability insurance exists in the first place. Much like automobile insurance, it is there to cover you when an accident—or an unexpected claim—takes place.

Do your homework and find a liability insurance program that both suits your budget and provides optimal protection.
