These are the key insurance policies most relevant to your business type — ranked by importance.
Professional Liability / Yoga Instruction
RequiredCovers claims that a student was injured or harmed as a result of your instruction — improper alignment cues, assisting a student into a posture that causes injury, or teaching a sequence beyond the student's ability. Most yoga teacher associations require this as a condition of membership.
General Liability
RequiredRequired by studios, gyms, co-working spaces, and event venues where you teach. Covers slip-and-falls by students, property damage to the teaching venue, and third-party injury arising from your class activities.
Product Liability
RecommendedIf you sell yoga props, supplements, essential oils, or branded merchandise, product liability covers injury or damage claims arising from products you sell — even if you didn't manufacture them.

What You Need to Know
- →Yoga Alliance and most yoga teacher associations require professional liability insurance as a condition of membership registration — not having it can disqualify you from certification listings.

- →Studios that rent studio space to independent yoga teachers typically require the teacher to carry their own GL with the studio named as additional insured.
- →Online yoga teachers face professional liability exposure too — video instruction that leads to a remote student's injury can still generate claims.
- →ERGO NEXT covers yoga, fitness, and wellness businesses with instant online quotes.
