Professional Yoga Liability Insurance is an Investment Every Yoga Teacher Should Make
Liability insurance is relatively low cost, especially when compared to the price tag of an average lawsuit.
In Illinois, yoga classes on trails and in parks are very popular options and a great value-add to offer as a teacher or a studio. With NACAMS, you're covered anywhere you teach including public places like natural areas and urban landscapes.
And while yoga along trails is a wonderful, unique experience, it also comes with its own set of unique risks that our policy covers such as if a client were to become ill from sun exposure, or dehydration. Additionally, the uneven surface of the terrain can lead to sprained ankles or strained muscles.

What are the Insurance Requirements for Illinois Yoga Teachers?
Yoga instructors in Illinois are not required to carry an Illinois yoga insurance policy to shield them from personal liability. 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 Illinois?
To become a yoga teacher in Illinois, start by finding a yoga teacher training program (typically 200-hour, 300-hour, or 500-advanced hour) that matches your interests and schedule. Depending on the form of yoga, and the facility that you choose to work with, it might be best to earn the advanced level certification, to ensure the minimal hour requirements are met. Many larger health facilities will want their yoga instructors to be certified, so it is good practice to receive the formal training, especially if you plan on working for an employer, as opposed to opening your own studio.
Understanding Yoga Teacher Insurance In Illinois
Like most other states, in Illinois, you are not required to hold an Illinois 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 liability insurance. If you plan on working as a yoga instructor, it is smart practice to hold an Illinois yoga insurance policy, not only to protect yourself from the personal liability aspect, but from other aspects, too. The best programs will give you general, professional, and identity coverage. When you choose the right insurance policy to cover you, you’ll have made a savvy investment to protect your professional yoga career.
How Much do Yoga Teachers in Illinois Make?
According to ZipRecruiter.com, yoga teachers in Illinois average $30.48/hour. However, in cities like Chicago, Champaign, and Frankfort, instructors can make up to $37/hour. 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.

Nancy
Love this Company! Very easy to move around and shop for the best policy, not to mention the best price!
Suzanne
While my customers do sign a liability waiver on behalf of the business where I am an employee, I'd prefer to have this backbone behind me protecting my person and any damage an unruly person could assert. Thank you NACAMS for protecting me professionally!
