How a Yoga Studio Filled 15 Empty Hours Per Week
A mid-sized yoga studio transformed unused morning and afternoon time slots into $3,200 in consistent monthly revenue using Studio Planner's teacher marketplace.
The Challenge
Like many yoga studios, this metro-area facility had consistent evening and weekend traffic but struggled with empty time slots during weekday mornings and early afternoons. The owner was paying rent on the space 24/7 but only generating revenue during peak hours.
Key Pain Points
- Monday-Friday mornings (6am-12pm): 15 hours per week sitting empty
- Difficulty finding qualified teachers for off-peak hours
- Manual billing process taking 3-4 hours each month
- No centralized system to track bookings and payments
- Lost revenue opportunities due to lack of teacher availability
"We were essentially throwing money away. Our rent didn't change whether the studio was full or empty, but we couldn't find reliable teachers for those morning slots. The few teachers we did find required manual invoicing every month, which was a nightmare."
The Solution
The studio owner signed up for Studio Planner and within the first week had listed all available time slots on the teacher marketplace. The platform's automated systems handled everything from booking confirmations to monthly billing.
