Do I Need Pilates Instructor Insurance?

Yes, especially if you teach in studios, clients’ homes, or online. Most studios now require instructors to carry their own insurance. Without it, one injury claim—like a fall during a reformer session or a strain in a Zoom class—can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Our policy covers you wherever you teach, whether in-person or virtual, with $1 million per occurrence and $3 million aggregate liability protection. You’re covered with occurrence-form insurance, meaning even past Pilates sessions remain protected if a claim arises later.

Pilates involves hands-on instruction, moving equipment, and real physical risk. If you teach—even part-time—you need insurance coverage that moves with you.
