Yoga Liability Insurance Frequently Asked Questions
Are you still unsure if you need yoga liability insurance? Are you wondering what type of insurance will best protect you and your career? If so, know that you’re not alone—we’re here to answer all the questions you might have about coverage, details, and the benefits Career Shield Insurance is proud to offer our members.
On average, how much does yoga insurance cost?
That depends on who you partner with! Realistically, insurance companies will offer you coverage and limits that are specific to your policy—but typically you’ll end up with yoga liability insurance somewhere between $179-$400 annually. Cost is an important thing to consider when it comes to your insurance—don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! That’s why Career Shield Insurance offers affordable rates without compromising coverage—our annual professional plan begins at $179, and we even offer $25 rates for yoga students in training.
Just what exactly is Yoga Insurance?
We like to think about yoga insurance as a big, protective safety net that’s tailor-made for professionals like you. As a professional in the industry, we already know how skilled and qualified you are—but think of yoga liability insurance as a special safeguard that’s there to protect you should anything go wrong. By this, we mean allegations, injuries, claims, or lawsuits—because no matter how careful you are, stuff sometimes happens. Whether it’s a student’s accidental slip-and-fall in your studio or someone pulls a muscle, top-notch professional and general liability will safeguard you against claims that could result from instances like these.
Who are we and what do we do?
Hey, we’re Career Shield Insurance—we’re so glad to make your acquaintance. We’re really big fans of the yoga industry, that’s why we’re one of the largest service providers offering insurance policy coverage for yoga instructors, teachers, and therapists just like you. We’re proud to include more comprehensive coverage and benefits specifically for your industry than the average liability policy—and that’s directly because our coverage was tailor-made for professionals within your industry (just like you). We’re proud to offer comprehensive coverage and protective policies at such competitive rates that you could end up paying nearly 30% less than with other providers. But don’t worry—just because we skimp on the price doesn’t mean we skimp on our coverage. We believe in all-inclusive policies that boost your peace of mind, and that means we’ve always got your back.
How much coverage do I need for my Yoga Liability Insurance?
The recommended coverage levels for professional and general liability is typically about $2 million per occurrence and at least a $3 million annual aggregate. Ideally, you’d also have a product coverage of $2 million annual aggregate. The important thing to remember here? Not all policies are created equal. Make sure you do your research, understand what you need, and work with an insurance partner that will happily answer all of your questions.
What types of yoga are covered under Yoga Liability Insurance?
We absolutely understand that yoga isn’t doesn’t come in just one shape and size. Whether you teach Vinyasa, Restortive, or just about anything else in the yoga world, we believe that you should be able to pursue your passion in sharing your yoga expertise through so many types of this amazing practice with peace of body and mind. Career Shield Insurance covers over 500+ yoga styles and healing practices so you can do just that.
If I work in a studio, do I still need insurance?
You might be thinking, “I work in a yoga studio with their own coverage—do I really need my own?” While you’re probably right that your studio might cover some of your needs, it’s highly unlikely you’ll always be protected under their policy. It’s crucial that you have your own protection that’s looking out for you and your career in case something happens.

What is the best way to find the right Yoga Insurance for me?
Insurance can vary immensely from provider to provider, so it’s important to take the time to do some research and determine what might be the best fit for you. The last thing you need or want as a yoga teacher is an expensive liability insurance policy. Or worse, one that does not provide the levels of coverage and benefits you should have protecting you. Deciding on a high-quality yoga insurance policy for your needs can feel overwhelming. Follow these steps to help make the right determination:
- Compare the plan prices
- Check to see if the modalities you practice are covered
- Where does the coverage extend to? Only at a studio? Or does it cover you no matter where you are teaching?
- Compare what additional benefits are offered free of charge or for a price
- Utilize comparison grids to visually compare plans from the different companies
If I'm a Yoga Teacher, do I need a different type of Yoga Insurance?
To be frank, we think you need the best kind of insurance—but we know that’s not a helpful answer. We highly recommend finding a coverage plan that includes general liability insurance (sometimes called slip-and-fall) as well as professional liability insurance (known as malpractice). Other types of valuable insurance coverages that are available by some companies include product coverage liability. With the growing number of yoga practitioners desiring other services (like massage) to be incorporated with their yoga, product coverage insurance is becoming more and more needed.
General Liability and Professional Liability: What's makes them different?
That’s one of the most commonly asked insurance questions—one we’re glad to answer! General liability insurance is often referred to as slip-and-fall insurance—it covers you against any third-party claims for injury or property damage. Professional liability insurance, otherwise called malpractice insurance, will help protect you against any third-party claims for your posture corrections or instruction that led to an injury (or alleged injury).
Can I teach at different locations with Yoga Insurance?
We can’t always speak for the other guys, but if you team up with us, you’ll be good to go no matter where you go! Achieve the peace of mind you need to do your job well knowing that you’re covered no matter where you teach (within the US)—from a yoga studio to an outdoor park to a fitness center or a festival, we’ve got your back!
