The development of Yoga-Link

Yoga-Link was developed by Nigel Wissett-Warner.  Part of Nigel's efforts while working within 'Yoga committee administration' focused upon bringing together Yoga exponents from differing backgrounds.  There is inevitably much common ground between the different Yoga organisations and a unified approach to various issues can derive mutual benefits.  He saw the development of Yoga-Link as an extension of that work.  Nigel shares the openhearted approach of his long-time partner Swami Satchidananda Ma in accepting the diversity of Yoga practice with enthusiasm.

In the past Yoga was viewed as a low-risk activity for insurance purposes.  The generic term Yoga applied to all activities the Yoga teacher might employ to pass on their knowledge of the subject to a class of students.

With the advent of Yoga Therapy, Drop-in classes at Gyms or Leisure Centres, specialist classes for Pregnancy, babies and children and a growth of the all-pervading compensation culture within society more widely, there is much closer scrutiny of the precise activities engaged in.

DSC Insurance Services has been at the forefront of negotiations with underwriters in order to broaden the insurers understanding of the subject.  As a result the scheme can offer optional extensions for particular aspects that need only be included where the extra cover is required.
