Am I covered to teach a pregnancy yoga class?
You can teach pregnancy classes, but we recommend completing a pregnancy yoga teacher training course first. If you’re insured under the Balens policy, you may be covered if your yoga training included pregnancy modalities. Always check with your insurer.
Why This Matters
Pregnancy classes involve specific safety considerations and contraindications. Appropriate training helps you teach safely and confidently, and insurance providers may require evidence that you’re qualified to teach pregnancy-specific content.
Check with your insurer directly.
