Peace of mind, so you can focus on your passion.

With Alternative Balance, you can relax and focus on providing your service. You won't find coverage like this anywhere else! Start with our General & Professional Liability Insurance, which includes defense costs coverage that takes the financial burden off your shoulders if someone gets hurt and makes a claim against you or sues you.

AcroYoga insurance protects instructors and studio owners in case of an accident. While AcroYoga is a challenging but rewarding form of yoga, there will always be the chance of an accident. One claim can put significant financial pressure on an AcroYoga business, which is why Alternative Balance has designed an AcroYoga insurance program specialized for this industry. Our plan covers U.S.-based AcroYoga teachers who teach anywhere in the world.

The trust built between partners in AcroYoga must be strong, and so is the trust between you and your insurance provider. Our business tools and insurance policy combine to help you stay safe and protected before, during and after a claim.

Is teaching aerial arts (such as aerial silks, aerial hoop, etc.) a service that is covered?

By Customer Service / On January 2, 2026 / AcroYoga, Trade / Service Specific FAQs

Our policy covers Aerial/Acro Yoga teachers who may use silks or hoop/lyra within their yoga practice, when that practice is focused on fitness, flexibility and therapy. Performance, circus movements, aerial/flying trapeze, and gymnastics-focused training are NOT covered.

By Customer Service / On January 2, 2026 / AcroYoga, Aerial Yoga, Trade / Service Specific FAQs

The average ceiling height for Aerial/Acro Yoga practices typically don’t exceed 12 feet. By adding the 12-ft height limit, we are able to focus our group coverage on fitness, flexibility and therapy rather than performers, circus movements or gymnastics-focused training.

Can you explain what you mean by not covering “performance” in Aerial/Acro Yoga?

By Customer Service / On January 2, 2026 / AcroYoga, Trade / Service Specific FAQs

The insurance classification and use of the term “performance” in Aerial/Acro Yoga can imply that the individual is entertaining and not implementing Aerial/Acro Yoga with others for the sole purpose of fitness, flexibility or therapy.
