Professional liability coverage helps protect against occupation-specific risks, like a professional error or a negligent omission. These situations can occur when the yoga instructor does something wrong or is accused of doing something that results in harm or damage to another individual.
General liability coverage is designed for generic risky situations, like a slip or fall. These circumstances are not tied to a specific profession but could occur in any occupation.

What is occurrence form coverage, and why is it important?
Occurence-based coverage is the preferred coverage option because it protects policyholders even after the policy expires. With occurrence-based coverage, you're protected for incidents that occur during the policy period. Even if you file a claim after the policy expires, you'll still be covered for incidents that happened while the policy was active..
Claims can be delayed for various reasons, such as a client not realizing the full extent of their injury, paperwork issues, or other factors. As a result, a claim might be filed after your policy has expired. For this reason, occurrence-based protection can be a lifesaver for yoga professionals because they don't have to stress about a claim being filed on time for incidences that occur while the policy is in place.
How does a yoga therapy insurance claim work?
After an incident in which a student or third party is harmed, they could file a lawsuit against you. If this happens, the policyholder should contact the yoga insurance company and file a claim. The insurance provider will then determine the claim's validity and what portion of coverage may be available. Your insurance agent can walk you through the details once a claim occurs.
