What Is Pilates Insurance?
Pilates insurance provides protection of your personal & financial assets if a client were to sue you due to an unexpected accident like a student falling off a reformer (general liability) or injuries from improper form (professional liability). If a client decides to file a lawsuit, your Pilates insurance policy will cover costs such as legal fees, medical bills etc.
Why Do Pilates Instructors Need 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 like in reformer Pilates.
Like all fitness and wellness professionals, Pilates instructors need liability insurance to protect them in the event that something unfortunate does occur. At NACAMS, we hope to preserve the teachings of Pilates by offering instructors that protection.
Potential liability risks Pilates teacher insurance can shield you from include:
Pilates teachers may accidently contribute to harm or injury to a client. This would be considered malpractice leaving the instructor held liable. Professional liability insurance can help cover legal expenses and potential settlements in such cases.
In many studio environments, there's a risk of clients slipping, tripping, or falling, potentially leading to injuries. Pilates provides general liability coverage in case a client is injured due to such incidents while they are in your care. For example, if a client falls off their reformer injuring their wrist. Even though your weren't involved, the student was under your care leaving you at risk to be sued.
Liability insurance can help protect instructors if a client experiences negative consequences from a product used in the studio e.g. cleaning products. Within professional & general liability insurance, we can help cover medical costs if someone were to sue due to an allergic reaction.
In today's digital age, personal information security is paramount. Reiki liability insurance provides coverage for identity protection, safeguarding you from the consequences of identity theft. Should your personal information be compromised, leading to fraudulent activities or financial loss, this coverage steps in to offer financial assistance and support to help restore your identity and mitigate the resulting damages.
Instructors might communicate their practices through various channels, including online platforms. If a teacher's statements about their training or services are perceived as libelous or slanderous by a client, fellow student, or instructor, liability insurance can offer protection against potential legal claims.
What Does A NACAMS Policy Include?
Liability insurance is an investment every service professional should make to keep their financial assets protected. A NACAMS policy is comprehensive meaning, everything you read about is included in the price of a student OR professional policy.

What Is Pilates?
Pilates is a highly effective method of exercise that concentrates on balance, core strength and body awareness. It is also a mind-body practice that requires complete control of the body by the mind. Pilates instructors are dedicated to imparting these teachings to their students, utilizing the mat, reformer, chair, trapeze and other machinery.

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.
The Pilates Method of Physical and Mental Conditioning, Gail Eisen and Philip Friedman delineate the six underlying principles of Pilates. The authors distilled these principles from Pilates’ work; and although they are sometimes interpreted a bit differently, they are accepted by most Pilates teachers.
- Breathing: Proper breathing increases circulation and flexibility.
- Centering: Movement begins from the center of the body and flows outward.
- Concentration: Focusing on body movement improves form and flow.
- Control: Exercises require total control of the body by the mind.
- Flow: Fluid, efficient movements create smooth transitions and increase stamina.
- Precision: Focusing on precision increases the likelihood of health improvements.
What Is The History Of Pilates?
Joseph Pilates, a legendary physical trainer from Germany, developed his physical fitness system in the early 1920s. He concentrated on using the mind to control the body, referring to his method as “Contrology.” Pilates published two books on his technique: Return to Life Through Contrology and Your Health: A Corrective System of Exercising That Revolutionizes the Entire Field of Physical Education.
In 1925, Pilates met his future wife, Clara, while immigrating to the United States. Together, they founded a studio in New York City, where they taught the first-ever Pilates classes and began training future instructors. Among the couple’s disciples are Carola Trier, Eve Gentry, Ron Fletcher and Romana Kryzanowska.
What Are The Health Benefits Of Pilates?
Although it’s considered a whole-body system, the Pilates method specifically targets the core, strengthening the abdominal muscles, lower back and buttocks. Emphasis on centering oneself during exercise also results in improved posture, balance and coordination. Additional physical benefits include increased flexibility and peripheral mobility, as well as leaner musculature. Due to its low-impact nature, Pilates is also a very accessible form of exercise, making it useful for individuals undergoing physical rehabilitation.
Since it’s a mind-body practice, Pilates stimulates a variety of mental health benefits as well, including increased concentration, calmness and general well-being. It may also reduce insomnia, stress and anxiety, promoting healthy sleeping habits and relaxation instead. The core muscular network includes all of the front, back and lateral muscles between the arm pits and upper thighs. Pilates referred to this region as the “powerhouse,” teaching his students to utilize it in all of their daily activities. His method is considered a resistance exercise, as it focuses on efficient, fluid movements, which have a low impact on the human body.
