Pilates Instructor Insurance Highlights
While you may not have considered it, professional insurance is an investment every Pilates teacher should make.
Why? In simple terms, insurance is relatively low cost (especially when compared to the price tag of an average lawsuit); it will allow you to work in venues that require individual Pilates instructor professional insurance; and having yoga liability coverage will protect you from claims regarding accidents and other occurrences that can happen in your studio.

Stay Protected with an Occurrence-form Policy
Occurrence Form is the industry-preferred policy type because you are covered for any incident that happened while your policy was in effect. Other providers sell Claims-made policies where any claim filed after the policy expires will not be covered. No matter if you choose NACAMS, definitely make sure your provider is "occurrence form."
Why Do You Need Pilates Insurance?
Instructors make every effort to teach their students about body awareness; however, this profession still involves risk. The possibility of an injury may seem unlikely but not unimaginable, especially when equipment is involved.
In fact, a primary form of insurance that a Pilates teacher policy includes is general liability insurance. This type of insurance, also known as “slip and fall” insurance, is the kind that almost every business wants and needs. If someone slips on a small spill and suffers an injury, for instance, a lawsuit can happen. This type of accident can happen anytime, anywhere, and any business that allows a customer on the property is a candidate for such a claim.
Yoga, of course, is also a physical activity. Anyone who has ever gone to a class knows this. As a result, the potential for physical injury is high. In your class, you likely have a wide range of physical health and natural agility among your students. If you have a student who is just getting back into shape and that student gets injured, you, the teacher, could be sued. It may not be your fault, but if the injury happens during your class, you can still be singled out for a claim.
If a student claims you did something inappropriate in class – gave incorrect instructions or over-corrected a student’s posture in a pose – then the professional (malpractice) portion of the insurance would protect you. Even the best Pilates students can, and sometimes do, push their physical limitations. You may give excellent instruction, but they may ignore you and subsequently injure themselves. You may not be wrong, but it won’t matter if they decide to sue you. You will literally have to pay to go through the process – unless you have yoga instructor insurance. Checkout our Insurance Guide.
It’s worth noting that Pilates studio insurance will usually provide some form of general liability coverage, but remember that yoga studio insurance doesn’t cover you, the individual yoga instructor. As a result, you may still be sued and found liable.
Securing insurance is really the only way to make sure that you’re completely covered in any space. Remember, too, that if you’re ever a guest yoga instructor at another location, you may need your own liability coverage in order to conduct your class there. By enrolling in a quality insurance program, you can have additional peace of mind, knowing that you have the all of the coverage you need in case of the unexpected.
