What are the Insurance Requirements for New York Yoga Teachers?
The Big Apple does not require yoga instructors to carry a Florida yoga insurance policy in order to practice in the state. Additionally, unless required by an establishment (gym or health club), or a special licensing requirement (working with children, or a special form of yoga), instructors are not required to hold any certification in order to work as an instructor.
How Do I Become a Yoga Teacher in New York?
Yoga is extremely popular in New York and here are tons of places where instructors can work e.g. local studios and larger studio franchises like Corepower. To become a yoga teacher in New York, start by finding a yoga teacher training program typically 200-hour that matches your interests and schedule. There are a ton of virtual options as well to choose from. Throughout the U.S., there is no uniform certification standard mandated by the states. However, such organizations as the Yoga Alliance do offer a certification or registration process.
Understanding Yoga Teacher Insurance In New York
Like most other states, in New York, you are not required to hold a yoga liability insurance policy in order to work as an instructor. Of course, you require business insurance if you own a private studio, but individual liability insurance for yoga instructors is not required. On the flip side, larger facilities, and those that train younger students, are required to hold special certification, as well as minimum liability insurance policies, in order to shield them from lawsuits.
Due to the fact that you want to protect your career and yourself in the event of an injury, even though the state does not require it, you should get individual liability insurance. If you plan on working as a yoga instructor, it is smart practice to hold a policy, not only to protect yourself from professional & general liability incidents..
How Much do Yoga Teachers in New York Make?
Yoga teacher salaries in New York range quite a bit with a peak salary of $112K annually. However, on average for the whole state, yoga teachers in New York around $80,000 when teaching full-time, according to Glassdoor.com. This can vary depending on factors like if you work only part-time, which studio you work for, if you offer classes independently and so on.
Stay Protected With An Occurrence-Form Policy
Occurrence Form (also known as Occurrence Based) is the industry-preferred policy type because you are covered for any incident that happened while your policy was in effect, even if your policy has expired.
Other providers sell Claims-made policies, where any claim filed after the policy expires will not be covered. No matter if you choose NACAM or not, definitely make sure your provider has "occurrence form" coverage.
