UK Yoga Teacher Insurance
£6,000,000 indemnity
Not all yoga insurance is the same. If you have insurance as a yoga teacher but then stop teaching, many policies won't cover any claims related to the time when you were insured since it's not an active policy. That's where this policy is different; you will always be covered for the insured period.
With a Yoga Alliance Professionals membership, you can access an outstanding policy through the UK Branch of Balens Europe B.V.!
This policy will sufficiently cover you AND meet requirements set by most employers.

If you have insurance included with your YAP membership the policy is mobile so it will cover you to teach from home. However, it only covers you as a teacher, it won't cover for any loss or damage to the building caused by a client or if a client were to be injured due to a fault with the building.
For this reason, it's very important to notify your home insurer if you intend to run your yoga business from your property. Your home insurer may be able to extend your policy or advise if you require additional cover but every insurer is different with different levels of cover and exclusions.
Be prepared to provide your home insurer with more information on your business; such as the number of visitors you receive and the type of equipment you have on site.
