The yoga and pilates industry continues to grow. According to Statista, over 34 million Americans practice yoga regularly, and the pilates market is expected to reach $14.5 billion globally by 2028.
But there’s a problem: Many studio owners are too busy with administration to practice what they teach.
Pilates and yoga studios face unique operational challenges that impact their ability to focus on teaching:
A 2023 wellness industry survey found that yoga and pilates studio owners spend 15-20 hours weekly on administrative tasks.
The American Yoga Association reports that 58% of yoga teachers say they practice less now than before they became teachers, with administrative work cited as the primary reason.
Managing bookings across multiple channels (phone, email, social media) creates confusion and increases the risk of scheduling errors.
Without proper systems, new student retention suffers—industry data shows that poor booking experiences account for 24% of clients not returning.
