FAQs About New York Yoga Liability Insurance

- You’re leading a sunset yoga class at South Beach in Miami when a student trips on uneven sand, twists their ankle, and demands you cover their medical expenses.
- A month after attending your power yoga class at a fitness center in Tampa, a student reports chronic wrist pain and blames a pose you instructed. They file a claim for medical expenses and lost wages.
- During a private session at a rented St. Petersburg studio, a student trips over a yoga block and crashes into a wall mirror, shattering it. The landlord insists you pay for a replacement.
Yes, your insurance policy covers you whether you’re still a student, working part-time, or teaching online! Insurance Canopy’s coverage is designed to flex with your business, no matter where you are in your journey.
