Yoga and Pilates Cover.
Stretch your muscles (and your rebates).

There's many things we wish could be more flexible in life. Deadlines, parking fines, denim... but improving your own flexibility is one thing we can help you with, thanks to our yoga and pilates benefits.

Important, please note - from the 1 April 2019, the Government has mandated all health insurers to remove a number of natural therapies from their Extras covers. That means that from April 1 onwards, you’ll no longer be covered for yoga, pilates, homeopathy or naturopathy. You’ll still be covered for acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, myotherapy and remedial massage though. We apologise for the upcoming removal of yoga & pilates benefits.
