I'm sure that this has been discussed before, but a search didn't turn it up.
It's time for me to renew, and I'm not pleased with my current provider. Any recommendations?

I need a small policy for I only teach part-time to small classes...yoga and dance


thanks in advance....

    Can you get it through a yoga teachers association? Or is there such a thing?

      Yes, if you pay for membership in the association, which you also have to renew every year. That's what I did last year, but I'm hoping to escape that racket this year.

        Hey Ali,

        I have my insurance from fitnessandwellness.com. My policy is $145/yr and I think it's about as basic as it gets. Lots of instructors I know use it and it was recommended by my YTT program. However, I have a hunch about the association you mentioned, and if it's the same one (don't get me started), my recommendation may not be any help! Fitness and Wellness also offers a different insurance package that includes a Yoga Journal subscription and other "bonuses" (which, personally, I think is also a racket! -- the package I mean).

        Drop me a note if you want more details.

        Om Shanti!

    K&K Insurance offers dance teacher insurance. They even give you a break if you have a certification. Doesn't hurt to check them out.

      Also use K&K and it is very reasonable

        I decided to go with K&K mostly because they don't require a redundant affiliation with a professional association. Their website was easy to figure out, and I was able to print out my proof of insurance immediately. I'm pleased.

        thanks for the advice, ladies!
        love to all,
        ali

    I got mine through the same agent that does my homeowner's & auto insurance (Travelers) and it was very reasonable.
