More...

This policy does not provide protection for any kind of office or studio equipment, it is strictly a liability policy which is bodily injury/property damage to SOMEONE ELSE. The policy provides protection no matter where the instructor is teaching (including outside of the studio). The employees who teach yoga/pilates or perform any of the other modalites and have certificates as proof of qualification should apply for their own individual policies. An employee such as a receptionist who is working on behalf of the insured will be covered for the duties performed on behalf of the employer (this is a non teaching/non professional employee). The policy provides protection for both professional liability and commercial general liability which is the slip and trip type of claims.
