What Is Meditation Teacher Insurance?

A meditation instructor insurance policy includes coverages designed to protect you from the financial burden of common claims like third-party bodily injury and property damage. It can also shield you from the cost of other liability claims, such as breach of contract, negligence, and defamation.

Do You Need Insurance to Teach Meditation?

Yes! While you may not be legally required to carry insurance as a meditation instructor, you need coverage to protect you from costly accidents that may occur during the course of doing business.

Plus, if you lease space to teach, your contract will likely require that you have liability insurance and add the studio to your policy as an additional insured.

Insurance can act as a barrier if you’re hit with a lawsuit – so you don’t have to pay defense costs and/or settlement fees out of pocket. Instead, you can continue teaching clients how to achieve mindfulness and clarity without having to pause your services to deal with a claim.

How Much Is Meditation Instructor Insurance?

The cost of meditation teacher insurance starts at just $21.08 per month (or $229 if you choose to pay upfront for a 12-month policy). Your premium can vary depending on a few factors, including:

  • The gross annual income of your business
  • Coverages you decide to add
  • Your policy’s coverage limits

What Are the Risks of Being a Meditation Teacher?

Working with clients or students is extremely rewarding, but with that comes liability risks that could lead to expensive claims. Here are just a few examples of risks meditation practitioners face:

  • During a breathing exercise, a student faints and sues you for causing them health issues.
  • A student takes you to court over emotional distress they experienced after a meditation session where you discussed past traumas.
  • You forgot to put out a candle you lit during a session in your rented studio space and it caused a fire, damaging the property.


As stressful and scary as these incidents are, carrying liability insurance can provide you with peace of mind knowing that if a covered incident occurs, you won’t be left having to pay for it all on your own.

What’s Covered in Meditation Teacher Insurance?

Meditation teachers need the following coverages to sufficiently shield their finances from the impact of claims.

General Liability Coverage

Also known as slip-and-fall insurance, general liability coverage responds to third-party bodily injury and property damage claims.

For example, if your student trips up the stairs to your front door when they come over for a guided meditation session, they could sue you for injuries sustained as a result. General liability insurance could cover this claim.

Professional Liability Coverage (aka Errors and Omissions)

This coverage is designed to protect you from claims related to mistakes or omissions made as part of your professional services.

If a student or client claims that you gave them faulty or bad instructions in a meditation session and sues you, professional liability can cover the cost of that claim.

Products-Completed Operations Coverage

Products-completed operations coverage is there to safeguard your business against property damage or bodily injury claims stemming from the products you use to complete your services.

Do you ever use essential oils as part of your guided meditations? If a customer has an allergic reaction to an oil you used during a session, this coverage could protect you from that claim.

Cyber Liability Coverage

If you keep sensitive client information on a computer, point-of-sale system, smartphone, or other internet-connected device, it could be hacked or illegally accessed by cybercriminals.

Cyber liability coverage is there to cover the cost of data breaches, phishing schemes, and more, allowing you to compensate clients whose information was stolen or to recover that data without paying for it all on your own.

Damage to Premises Rented to You

Studios or classrooms that you rent to hold meditation lessons, workshops, and other classes may hold you financially responsible for damage you cause to the space while you’re there.

Otherwise known as fire legal liability, can respond to claims involving damages to third-party property, furnishings, equipment, and more.

Personal and Advertising Injury

Picture this: a local gym hires you to teach some guided meditation classes. You have a bad experience there and post a negative review online, but then the gym sues you for slander.

Personal and advertising injury insurance can step in and cover the cost of defense and settlement fees if this happens, providing you with a financial safety net.

Equipment and Materials (Inland Marine)

If you incorporate equipment into your meditation lessons, such as benches, incense, yoga mats, and more, this insurance can cover the cost of repairing or replacing it if it’s damaged or stolen.

Additional Insureds

If you work for an institution like a gym, community center, or yoga studio, the institution may require you to add them to your policy as an additional insured before they allow you to teach classes there. Additionally, if you rent a studio space to hold your sessions, the landlord may ask to be added to your policy as well.

An additional insured is a person or organization not automatically insured by your policy, but who you might add by request. Insurance Canopy makes it easy for you to add an unlimited number of additional insureds to your policy at no extra charge. You can add them during the checkout process or at any time during your policy period via the user dashboard.
