Do you need a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT®) certification to get insurance?

No, yoga instructors do not need a Registered Yoga Teacher certification to purchase coverage for their businesses. This is a common misconception.

Do you need a different insurance if you teach yoga from home? 

If you’re a yoga instructor who instructs clients from your own private property, you will need to consider different coverage options for your practice. Beyond professional liability and general liability yoga insurance, you may also want purchase coverage for your home and property such as the following:

Home business insurance: Regular home insurance is not enough to cover any business-related claims that happen on your property. With a home business coverage plan, you can ensure you’re entirely protected should anything happen as a result of your business activities that take place.

Personal property coverage: If you use specific equipment for your yoga practice, whether it be mats, blocks, bolsters, straps, you may want to purchase additional personal property coverage. This will ensure that your business equipment has protection against theft, vandalism, and damage, should anything occur on your property.

Ultimately, before you go ahead and purchase these two coverages, we suggest taking a look at your home protection policies to see if there’s any lapses in protection. That way, you can tailor your additional coverage on tip, to ensure you are completely insured moving forward.
