Get Covered With Yoga Trainee Insurance
The Insurance Policy is subject to the following restrictions:
- You can teach up to 2 hours per week
- You must have received approval from your principal teacher before starting to teach
- Do not teach outside the scope of what you have been taught
- Stay in regular contact with your principal teacher
- You must make students aware that you are not a fully qualified yoga teacher
- The fee you charge for your classes should be lower than a fully qualified yoga teacher would charge (your tutor should approve this).
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you enrolled on a Yoga Alliance Professionals (YAP) registered teacher training course? Thats fantastic! You are considered a Trainee Member for the length of your training course.
However, it's important to note that this is not full yoga teacher membership. Trainee membership only lasts for the length of your course and will expire upon graduation. Additionally, there is an extra fee to take out trainee insurance.
Trainee Members do not receive a profile on the YAP website. Instead, you will gain access to our Trainee Hub. The Trainee Hub has a lot of helpful resources and information. Plus, from the Trainee Hub, you can apply to take out trainee insurance.
After your course has finished and once we receive graduation confirmation from your training school, we will contact you to discuss joining as a full Teacher Member.
Your Trainer will normally notify us within 7 days of your course graduation and you can expect to receive an email invitation regarding upgrading to a Teacher Membership.
If you do not receive this and would like to upgrade, please contact our office on 0131 659 9922.
Yes, but there are conditions which must be followed.
- Have received approval from the Principal Teacher of the training course.
- Do not teach outside the scope of what they have been taught.
- Have regular supervision and/or on-going case consultation with their principal teacher (this must be in place).
- Declare to any recipient in advance that they are not a fully qualified teacher.
- Any fees charged must be approved by the tutor or school in question and a modest amount can be charged. This must be lower than an experienced and qualified professional would normally charge.
- You must have insurance if you are a UK or Irish resident.
