Liability Insurance Highlights

Yoga Teacher Liability Insurance

Despite an instructor's best efforts to teach safe yoga, fitness, massage practices, injuries do happen. And they can be financially devastating without the backing of a solid insurance plan. Even if your studio or place of business covers you, it's important to have personal coverage because other employees can exhaust the studio's aggregate total.

In addition to liability insurance, you get a free website, stolen equipment coverage, theft protection, and tons of discounts on yoga equipment, retreats, scheduling softwares, classes and more.

We don't have complicated quote process. One price covers everything. Just select your profession, any secondary practices you want covered, if you need any additional insureds and you are good to go.

How do I explain the benefits of yoga to new students?

As a yogi, you know yoga isn't done over a few sessions a week. It’s a lifestyle of mindfulness connecting body, mind, and spirit. BeYogi gives you the tools from some of the most respected teachers in the yoga community for passing on your knowledge to your students. Be sure to check out our exclusive yoga teacher resources page. There we'll help equip you to gently guide others on their own yoga journeys.

Do you offer Continuing Education (CE) credits for Registered Yoga Teachers (RYTs)?

To maintain your RYT, every three years you must have 45 hours of teaching yoga and 30 hours of yoga-related training. Of these, 10 hours must be contact training, and 20 hours are non-contact training like reading articles, authoring yoga content, or taking online courses. At beYogi, we can help you easily obtain your 20 hours of non-contact training with our troves of helpful articles. As well, we encourage yogis to submit their own content for consideration as an addition to our tribe’s knowledge base. As a benefit of your yoga insurance policy, you’ll also be granted members-only pricing from other recognized yoga resources and courses, which can count towards receiving CE credit. For our massage therapists out there, we’ve partnered with Massage Magazine to offer steep discounts for massage therapy CE courses.
