What does yoga insurance cover?

Whether you’ve got years of experience or just finished training, your students rely on you for care and attention to particular needs and injuries. UK yoga insurance usually starts off with public liability cover, built to support you if a student or member of the public claims you’ve caused an injury or property damage. You can include optional covers, and pay monthly if you need to.

Yoga teacher insurance FAQs

Whether you’re new to buying business insurance or you’ve been trading for a while, here are the answers to some commonly asked questions about insurance for yoga teachers.You can also check out our business insurance FAQs.

This depends on your business, the students you’re working with, and the classes you’re teaching. There’s no legal requirement to have insurance in place, but if you’re freelance and working for a studio they may require you to have a specific level of cover in place – accidents and injuries happen during even the gentlest of classes, and you could still be held liable, even if you’re not teaching in-person.

If you employ anyone, even if they’re also teaching remotely, you’re usually required by law to have employers’ liability insurance in place.

Public liability insurance will be a key cover for most yoga teachers – it’s built to cover you for injuries and property damage, if your student or another member of the public makes a claim. Is there a risk that your student could get injured and sue for compensation, for example, because of your studio or teaching?

Alongside public liability insurance, you may want to add cover for things like your essential business kit and equipment, or personal accidents which could stop you working. And if you employ anyone (including contractors or temps), employers’ liability cover is usually a legal requirement.

This depends on your business, and which insurer is providing your cover. Prices start from £6.47 a month for our yoga teacher customers – we work this out by taking the highest price from the bottom 10 per cent of all our customers paying in monthly instalments (based on data from 1 July – 31 December 2020). Most customers pay more than this but some pay less.

Yes. It’s important to make sure you have the right type and level of insurance for the different types of work you do. For example, if you’re a yoga teacher, you may also teach pilates occasionally or practice aromatherapy with clients – you’ll need additional cover for this, but you can have it all on the one policy. When you start your quote, you’ll have the option to add another trade or profession to your policy. If you need to add a third trade, give us a call on 0333 0146 683 and one of our insurance experts will help you set up your policy in minutes.

This will depend on whether you have employers’ liability insurance in place. Public liability insurance is designed to protect your business against the consequences of legal action brought by members of the public for injuries or damage to their belongings. But when it comes to your employees causing injury or damage, this protection only activates if you also have employers’ liability insurance.

If you employ people, you’re required by law to have employers’ liability insurance.

There’s one exception here. Family businesses that aren’t incorporated as a limited company are not legally required to have employers’ liability insurance. The government defines a “family business” as one where all your employees are closely related to you (as a spouse, civil partner, sibling, child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, step-parent, stepchild or half-sibling). So if you run an unincorporated family business and you choose not to get employers’ liability insurance, it’s important to know that your public liability insurance wouldn’t cover you against damage or injury caused by your team.
