Find out how KRIYA Booking can work for your yoga business
Going into lockdown and unable to work, I was really grateful to have an online booking system already set up on my website. So when I had to start teaching online, having the booking system already in place made the transition so much easier. It has also directed more traffic to my website with clients signing up and booking their classes.

The problem
Lockdown crisis made it difficult to retain old students and get new clients
Yoga Light studio was experiencing difficulties during Cornavirus lockdown as she was not able to work without any online support to book her classes.
The old students were reluctant to join back and the new ones were difficult to find.
Dianne Black thought the problems were arising because of lack of a booking and class management software and she was not teaching online yoga classes.
Also there was a void in the financial reports and the studio began to suffer losses.
Being a small yoga studio the client relationship is very personal, says Dianne so hardly anyone was booking, and with tight budget she wanted a cost effective solution to her problem.
The solution
KRIYA Booking System was the local online solution which was low cost and efficient for such yoga studios.
Dianne wanted an online booking management system to make things easier for her. KRIYA already had its best solutions optimized for online classes as well as offline studios. Also KRIYA best suited to local studios in Australia.
According to Dianne now that yoga teachers are going back into the studio and there is a maximum of 10 people allowed, it is essential for clients to continue booking online. Booking online had become a key factor in today’s scenario.
Most of her clients have picked up the habit of booking online now, and she can better manage classes knowing how many people are coming, as she would hate to have to turn anyone away.
With full support to her to get on the features of KRIYA and to use them effectively, she felt really convenient to directly message KRIYA rather than having to waste time going through the various channels of a bigger company.
Now Yoga Light studio finds itself well in place after the lockdown and stands more equipped to serve their yoga clients better. Finding KRIYA as a useful online booking tool which offers instant support on everything from bookings to getting students, go for smooth online transactions as well as learning how to take online classes proved more fruitful to Yoga light.

Better oversight
KRIYA report builder gave Yoga Light an insight into the overall performance of the studio, as well as the flexibility to take yoga classes when required. These insights helped them to think more out of the box for their future goals in making this studio a unique one in Randwick.
I think such management software are a must these days as we all are work from home and online bookings are just wonderful systems, said Dianne.
Expanded service offerings
Since implementing KRIYA, the studio’s daily, weekly and monthly engagement has increased both in value, and profitability.
“As now I am getting more personal time to look into new ideas to implement in my studio,” says Dianne. “the important aspect is low cost software that helps me save money too to expand my business”.
The conculsion
Dianne says booking management software takes all the burden, which is quite relaxing for her to concentrate more on her yoga class.
“It’s a great opportunity to really step outside of the business and look at it,” says Dianne “ I am focusing on more online classes as now I need not worry how my clients will come to me”.
KRIYA is an opportunity to develop good KPIs to drive the yoga business on.
