Am I Covered To Teach Chair Yoga?
Always check directly with your insurance provider. For those with Balens insurance through YogaPros membership, Chair yoga is covered under the standard Yoga and Meditation policy, as long as you hold a relevant qualification.
Why This Matters
Because chair yoga is often taught to individuals with specific needs or limited mobility, insurers require proof that you’re properly trained to deliver it safely. Holding the right qualification ensures you're covered if an incident occurs.
What This Means for You
If you're insured through YogaPros with Balens, you may be covered to teach chair yoga — but only if you've completed a relevant training course. Without formal training, you may not be fully protected under your policy. Before offering chair-based classes, review your qualifications and confirm with your insurer that they meet their requirements.
What You Need to Do
Contact Balens if you're unsure whether your current training qualifies
