liability insurance for yoga teachers
I’ve partnered with beYogi. You get $20 off. Here’s everything you need to decide in about two minutes.
why this page exists
Insurance is the least interesting part of teaching yoga and one of the few parts you can’t improvise. Studios ask for proof of it before they’ll let you sub. Retreat centers ask. Gyms ask. If you teach online, the studio’s policy almost certainly doesn’t follow you home.
I get asked which insurance to carry often enough that I went and made an arrangement. beYogi covers yoga professionals specifically, the rate is reasonable, and teachers who come through me get $20 off.
your rate
| Who you are | Your price |
|---|---|
| Student in training | $60 |
| Full-time pro, one year | $159 (was $179) |
| Full-time pro, two years | $314 (was $334) |
what’s covered
- Professional and general liability—$2 million per occurrence, $3 million annual aggregate
- Personal injury and advertising—$2 million per occurrence
- Identity protection—$25,000
- Online and hybrid classes, not only what you teach in a studio
- All 50 states
- 500+ modalities under one policy—if you also teach fitness or do bodywork, it’s the same policy
still in a training? read this one first.
beYogi’s student rate is $60 a year, and you qualify for it right up until the day before you’re certified. The day after, you’re a pro, and the pro rate is $179.
That’s a $119 difference that expires at graduation, and it’s the single most avoidable money mistake I see trainees make. If you’re mid-training, take twenty minutes and do it this week. Your certificate isn’t going anywhere; the rate is.
a word about how I picked
I don’t recommend things I haven’t looked at, and I’m not going to tell you beYogi is the only option—it isn’t. What I looked for was coverage that follows a yoga teacher rather than a building, a price that doesn’t punish someone teaching two classes a week, and a company that understands what we actually do all day.
I’m a beYogi affiliate, which means I earn a commission on policies that come through this link. You’re entitled to know that before you click anything.
coming up
I’m teaching a free webinar with beYogi for National Yoga Month—Wednesday, September 2, 1:00–2:00 PM Eastern—on teaching yoga to athletes: the difference between yoga for athletes and athletic yoga, how to read what an athlete needs, and what the niche pays. Registration opens soon.
