Yoga Studio Management Software
GymWyse is the all-in-one yoga management software that helps studio owners streamline operations, grow their community, and focus on what matters most — teaching transformative yoga.

Whether you run a single-room Hatha studio or a multi-location yoga empire, GymWyse gives you the tools to manage memberships, automate billing, fill every mat, and increase revenue without adding administrative overhead.

A Complete Operations Platform for Yoga Studios
Running a yoga studio involves far more than teaching classes. Behind every peaceful savasana is a complex operation that demands seamless membership management, effortless class scheduling, accurate billing, reliable check-in systems, and thoughtful staff coordination. GymWyse brings every operational pillar into a single, intuitive platform so you can stop juggling spreadsheets, paper sign-in sheets, and disconnected software tools.
Our membership management system supports unlimited plan types — monthly unlimited, class packs, drop-in passes, introductory offers, student and senior discounts, and family plans — all with automated recurring billing, failed payment recovery, and real-time revenue tracking. The class scheduling engine handles your entire weekly timetable across Vinyasa, Yin, Hot Yoga, Restorative, Prenatal, Aerial, Power, Hatha, Kundalini, and Ashtanga formats, with room-specific capacity limits, teacher assignments, and substitute management. Built-in check-in via QR code, key fob, or front desk scan gives you accurate attendance data that feeds directly into your analytics dashboard. Staff management covers everything from payroll calculation based on class count or hourly rates to credential tracking and performance reviews.
Every yoga studio is different, and GymWyse adapts to your workflow rather than forcing you into a rigid template. Configure your settings, customize your member communications, and build the operational backbone your studio needs to thrive in an increasingly competitive wellness market.
Challenges Yoga Studios Face Every Day
Scheduling Chaos Across Class Formats
Managing a schedule that spans ten or more yoga styles — each with different room requirements, temperature settings, prop setups, and instructor qualifications — creates constant conflicts. A Hot Yoga class needs ninety minutes between sessions for room cool-down, while an Aerial class requires rigging checks. Without software that understands these constraints, double-bookings and last-minute cancellations erode student trust and cost studios an average of eight thousand dollars annually in lost revenue.
Studios lose $8,000+/year to scheduling conflictsStudent Retention and Community Erosion
The average yoga studio loses thirty-five percent of new students within their first three months. Without automated engagement — welcome sequences, milestone celebrations, re-engagement campaigns for lapsed members, and personalized class recommendations — students quietly drift away. Most studio owners do not realize a student has left until months later when the revenue impact becomes impossible to ignore.
35% of new yoga students leave within 90 daysRevenue Leakage from Manual Processes
Yoga studios relying on manual billing, paper waivers, and spreadsheet-based inventory tracking experience significant revenue leakage. Failed credit cards go unnoticed for weeks, retail inventory counts drift from reality, workshop deposits slip through the cracks, and teacher pay calculations consume hours of error-prone administrative time. Industry data shows that studios using manual processes lose between nine and fourteen percent of potential revenue each month.
9-14% monthly revenue lost to manual process errorsFeatures Built for Yoga Studios
Every feature in GymWyse has been refined based on feedback from hundreds of yoga studios worldwide. Here is how we solve the real problems you face daily.
Intelligent Multi-Format Class Scheduling
GymWyse scheduling engine understands the nuances of yoga studio operations in ways generic booking software simply cannot. Configure class-specific requirements — Hot Yoga rooms need mandatory cool-down buffers between sessions, Aerial Yoga classes require equipment inspection windows, and Restorative sessions need extra setup time for props. The system automatically enforces these constraints, preventing scheduling conflicts before they occur. Teachers are matched to classes based on their certifications: only RYT-500 holders can be assigned to advanced Ashtanga series, only RPYT-certified instructors to Prenatal classes. Substitute management lets you find qualified replacements in seconds, with automatic notifications to students about teacher changes. The result is a conflict-free schedule that maximizes room utilization and student satisfaction. Studios using GymWyse scheduling report a twenty-two percent improvement in room utilization and a forty-one percent reduction in class cancellations within the first six months.
- Room-specific capacity and temperature presets for Hot, Warm, and Standard rooms
- Certification-based teacher-to-class matching with automatic conflict detection
- Drag-and-drop schedule builder with recurring series and one-off workshop support
- Student waitlist with automatic promotion and real-time push notifications
Teacher Credential and Certification Management
Your teachers are the heart of your studio, and ensuring they maintain proper credentials is both a legal requirement and a quality assurance measure. GymWyse provides a centralized credential vault for every instructor on your roster. Track Yoga Alliance registrations including RYT-200, RYT-500, E-RYT-200, E-RYT-500, RPYT, and RCYT designations alongside CPR and First Aid certifications, liability insurance expiration dates, and specialty training completions for modalities like Yin, Aerial, and Kundalini. The system sends tiered renewal reminders at ninety days, sixty days, and thirty days before any credential expires, and can automatically restrict an instructor from being scheduled for classes requiring an expired certification. Digital certificate storage eliminates paper filing, and a one-click compliance report shows your entire team's certification status at a glance — invaluable during insurance audits or Yoga Alliance continuing education reviews.
- Automated renewal reminders at 90, 60, and 30 days before expiration
- Digital certificate storage with drag-and-drop upload
- Scheduling restrictions that enforce certification requirements per class type
- One-click compliance reports for audits and insurance verification
Integrated Retail and Point-of-Sale System
Retail is an often-underutilized revenue stream for yoga studios, yet studios that actively manage their retail operations generate twelve to fifteen percent of total revenue from merchandise sales. GymWyse includes a complete point-of-sale system at no additional cost, letting you sell mats, yoga blocks, straps, bolsters, blankets, essential oils, incense, aromatherapy products, branded apparel, water bottles, and any other products your students want. The POS syncs with your member database, so purchases can be charged to a member's account or processed via card, cash, or digital wallet. Inventory management tracks stock levels across locations, sends automatic reorder alerts when products drop below your configured thresholds, and provides detailed profitability analysis per product category and supplier. You can also create product bundles — like a new student starter kit with a mat, two blocks, and a strap at a discounted package price — to drive higher average transaction values and improve the new student onboarding experience.
- Barcode scanning, manual entry, and member-account charging
- Automatic reorder alerts and supplier management with cost tracking
- Product bundling for new student kits and seasonal promotions
- Revenue attribution reports showing retail contribution to total studio income
Student Retention and Community Engagement Engine
Building a loyal yoga community requires consistent, personalized communication that goes far beyond generic email blasts. GymWyse retention engine uses behavioral data — class attendance patterns, booking frequency, membership status, and purchase history — to automatically trigger the right message at the right time. New students receive a welcome series introducing them to different class formats and teachers. When a regular practitioner misses their usual Wednesday evening Vinyasa for two consecutive weeks, the system sends a personalized re-engagement message. Milestone celebrations recognize practice anniversaries, hundredth class achievements, and membership renewals. Churn risk scoring identifies at-risk members before they leave, giving you a window to intervene with a personal outreach, a complimentary private session, or a special retention offer. Studios using the GymWyse engagement engine see an average twenty-eight percent improvement in twelve-month retention rates and a nineteen percent increase in class pack renewals compared to their pre-GymWyse baseline.
- Automated welcome sequences, milestone celebrations, and re-engagement campaigns
- Churn risk scoring with configurable intervention triggers
- Personalized class recommendations based on attendance history and preferences
- Push notifications, email, and SMS communication channels with delivery analytics
Yoga Industry Trends Shaping 2026
Stay ahead of the curve with insights shaping the yoga studio industry this year and beyond.
Active Ageing and Senior Yoga Programs
The over-sixty demographic is the fastest-growing segment in yoga participation, with enrollment in gentle and chair yoga classes increasing by thirty-eight percent year over year. Studios that offer dedicated Active Ageing programs with modified sequences, slower pacing, and accessibility accommodations are capturing a loyal, high-retention demographic. GymWyse helps you create age-appropriate class categories, manage health waivers with specific medical history fields, and track participant progress over time.
Meditation, Sound Baths, and Holistic Wellness Integration
Students increasingly expect yoga studios to offer more than asana practice. Meditation classes, guided sound bath sessions using singing bowls and gongs, breathwork workshops, and holistic wellness seminars are becoming essential schedule additions. Studios adding these modalities report twenty-three percent higher per-member revenue. GymWyse scheduling system handles non-traditional class formats with custom duration settings, equipment requirements, and capacity limits that differ from standard yoga sessions.
Yoga Retreat and Immersion Management
Retreat revenue is becoming a significant income stream for ambitious studios, with the global yoga retreat market projected to exceed nineteen billion dollars by 2027. Managing multi-day events with accommodation, meal plans, transportation logistics, and tiered pricing requires dedicated tools. GymWyse event management module handles deposit collection, payment plan scheduling, participant communication timelines, and post-retreat feedback surveys — all from the same platform you use for your daily studio operations.
Case Study: Lotus Flow Yoga, Portland
How a two-location yoga studio transformed their operations and revenue with GymWyse.
Lotus Flow Yoga operates two studio locations in Portland, Oregon, offering Vinyasa, Yin, Hot Yoga, Restorative, and Prenatal classes across fourteen instructors and over sixty weekly sessions. Before switching to GymWyse, owner Maya Richardson managed scheduling through a combination of Mindbody and Google Sheets, tracked teacher certifications in a filing cabinet, and processed retail sales through a separate Square terminal that had no connection to her membership data.
Within ninety days of implementing GymWyse, Lotus Flow consolidated all operations into a single platform. The automated scheduling system eliminated the three to four weekly conflicts that had been causing class cancellations. Teacher certification tracking surfaced two instructors whose CPR certifications had lapsed — a liability risk that had gone unnoticed for months. The integrated retail POS increased accessory sales by thirty-one percent as front desk staff could now suggest products based on a student's class history and purchase patterns.
Before and After GymWyse
What Yoga Studio Owners Say About GymWyse
“We switched from Mindbody to GymWyse eighteen months ago and it has completely transformed how we run our studio. The teacher certification tracking alone saved us from a compliance nightmare, and our retail sales have grown by thirty-one percent since we started using the integrated POS. The automated waitlist fills ninety-two percent of cancelled spots — revenue we were simply losing before.”
“As a studio with both Hot Yoga and traditional Hatha classes, we needed software that understood our unique scheduling and capacity requirements. GymWyse lets us set different room capacities for heated versus non-heated classes, and the air quality integration reminders ensure our Hot Yoga room meets safety standards. Our student retention improved by twenty-seven percent in the first year.”
“Running a yoga studio with a strong retail component was always a headache with our old system. GymWyse unified everything — class bookings, teacher schedules, mat and prop sales, essential oil inventory, and our teacher training programs — into one platform. Our admin time dropped from twenty hours a week to about six. I finally have time to actually teach again.”
