When you’re teaching yoga or running a yoga studio, there’s always a chance that something could go wrong, including slip and fall accidents in your studio, bodily injuries due to your instruction, or accidental property damage.

That’s why yoga insurance is so important: it helps protect you financially and legally if an accident or claim arises.

Why do I need yoga insurance?

Even in a calm, controlled environment, unexpected incidents can happen. A visitor to your studio could slip on a wet floor and get hurt. You could accidentally damage rented studio space. Someone might even claim your instruction caused an injury or made a preexisting condition worse. These situations are more common than you might think — and they can get expensive quickly.

General liability insurance helps protect you from these risks, which is why many studios and landlords require proof of coverage.

Yoga teacher and yoga studio insurance provides important protection from:

Accidents that result in bodily injury

If a student slips and falls in your studio or teaching space, you could be responsible for medical bills and related costs — as well as legal expenses if a lawsuit is filed.

Student injuries due to your instruction

A student could claim they were injured or aggravated an existing condition due to improper instruction or lack of supervision during a yoga class or private session.

Property damage during an appointment

If you damage studio property, a client’s belongings, or a rented space (such as scratching floors with equipment), you could be responsible for repairing or replacing it.

Lawsuits, legal fees & damages

If you’re sued for third-party bodily injury, property damage, or personal injury, you may need to hire a lawyer to defend yourself and pay for potentially hefty settlements or damages.

Who needs yoga insurance?

All yoga studios and professionals can benefit from insurance, including:

  • Ashtanga instructors

How much does yoga insurance cost?

Berxi’s general liability insurance starts at just $100/year for yoga instructors and $350/year for yoga studios.

Your annual premium will depend on a few different factors, including:

  • Whether you’re an independent instructor or run a studio

Insurance Policies Available for Yoga Studios & Instructors

Berxi’s customized general liability insurance for yoga teachers and studios is designed to protect you legally and financially from the risks you face every day, including student injuries and third-party property damage.

General liability insurance covers claims of third-party bodily injury and property damage related to your yoga classes and business activities, along with personal and advertising injury, like libel or slander.

Examples include:

  • A student or visitor slips on a wet floor in your studio and gets hurt. Your insurance can help pay medical bills and defend you if a claim is filed.
  • A student claims they were injured during a class or that a pose aggravated a preexisting condition. Your Berxi policy can help cover medical expenses and legal costs.
  • You accidentally damage a studio’s property or a client’s belongings, like scuffing floors or damaging equipment. Your policy can help cover repair or replacement costs.

You can add optional business personal property (BPP) coverage to your Berxi general liability policy for extra protection.

Examples include:

  • Your yoga gear is damaged or goes missing. BPP can help cover the cost to replace it.
  • Your work laptop or sound system is damaged beyond repair. Your BPP coverage can help you replace it.
  • Retail items like yoga mats or apparel are damaged by a covered event. BPP can help replace your inventory.

Coverage Details of Berxi Yoga Insurance

If a customer or visitor is injured at your place of business or teaching space — for instance, by slipping and falling — your general liability policy can help cover their medical bills and defend you in case of a lawsuit.

If you or your employees accidentally damage someone else’s property, general liability insurance can help pay to repair or replace it.

Unlike other insurance providers, Berxi includes professional incident coverage for bodily injury due to instruction as part of our general liability policies at no extra charge. So if a client claims you made an error in your work that caused them bodily injury, such as improper instruction in a yoga class, your policy can help pay for medical bills and legal defense.

Personal and advertising injury coverage protects against legal issues stemming from things you write or say, including your marketing activities. It safeguards you from claims of reputational harm, such as libel and slander, as well as copyright infringement in your marketing materials and privacy invasion.

With a general liability policy from Berxi, everyone employed by your business is covered, not just you. That means your business will be protected from general liability claims resulting from employee actions: if an employee accidentally damages someone’s property, your Berxi policy can help cover the costs.

You can choose to add business personal property (BPP) coverage to your general liability policy as an optional endorsement, which can help pay for damage or loss of your equipment, computers, inventory, furnishings, and other business assets. (Note that BPP generally doesn’t apply to normal wear and tear.)

In addition, you can add workers’ compensation and cyber liability coverage to your Berxi general liability insurance policy by speaking with our in-house customer support team.
