Yoga isn't a product. It's a community someone joins.
Studios that win aren't the ones with the prettiest logo — they're the ones that feel like a place you belong. That means content that shows real teachers and real students, a sign-up flow that removes all the friction, and a retention system that keeps members past the 90-day drop-off. We build the whole thing so new yogis walk in already feeling part of it.
12-month member retention for studios running the community + content system, vs. 52% industry average

Avg classes/week/member
A focused stack, built for your margins
Class schedule site
Live integration with Mindbody / Momence / WellnessLiving. Book a class in 3 taps — no app download, no re-login.
Instagram + Reels
Real teachers, real students, real light through the studio windows. Not stock yoga photos — that's why your IG looks like everyone else's.
Intro offer funnel
$30-for-30-days landing page that converts. Sequence from sign-up through class #3 (the stick point) into membership.
Teacher spotlights
Bios, videos, class philosophy. Students pick studios based on teachers they connect with — give them that connection before they ever visit.
Member nurture email
Weekly class picks, teacher stories, workshop announcements. The email that makes members feel like insiders, not a billing list.
Community-first brand
Identity, photography direction, social templates — all tuned to look like the studio actually feels, not like a template from Canva.
What actually moves the needle
- The intro offer converts when class #2 is booked before class #1 ends — build the flow to force it
- Teachers are the product. Feature them, name them, tell their story — don't hide them behind a generic 'our team' page
- 90% of churn happens between day 60 and day 90. Run a workshop invite sequence at day 50 and retention jumps materially
- Instagram Reels of actual classes (with permission) outperform curated photos 4:1 on reach and conversion
- Workshops are the profit center. Members come to class; new revenue comes from $65-$120 workshops. Run at least one per month
“The intro offer used to convert at 18%. With the new funnel and the email sequence they built, it's at 46%. More importantly, the studio finally looks online like it feels in person. That's the whole game.”

Questions yoga & wellness studios owners ask us
Do I need a custom website if I already use Mindbody / Momence?+
Yes. Your booking platform handles transactions; your website handles brand. Students don't fall in love with a booking portal — they fall in love with a studio's vibe, teachers, and story. We build the brand site and embed the schedule widget, so you keep the platform you already use while the website does the emotional work of converting strangers into first-time students.
What actually moves retention past the 90-day cliff?+
Three things, in order: (1) genuine relationships with 2+ teachers by class #5, (2) a workshop invite between day 50 and 80 that gives members a reason to commit deeper, (3) an email that treats members like insiders, not customers. We set up all three as a system so retention isn't dependent on one great front-desk person remembering everyone's name.
Should I run Facebook / Instagram ads?+
For the intro offer, yes — and only for the intro offer. A tight $300-600/month campaign targeting a 3-5km radius around the studio, promoting the intro offer specifically, consistently pays back within 2 months. Brand awareness ads for studios almost never work financially; stick to direct-response for intro offers and put everything else into organic community-building content.
How much content does this actually take?+
Less than you think if it's systematized. We set up a monthly filming day where we capture 4-6 weeks of content in one afternoon (teacher spotlights, class Reels, student testimonials). That one day produces enough material for Instagram, TikTok, email, and the website. Without the system, studios burn out on content in 3 months. With it, they never think about it again.
