"We track training hours in a spreadsheet and it never matches."

With YogaOSStudents mark attendance in the app during the session. Hours go straight to their record, against targets you set once.

"I cannot tell who has finished which module."

With YogaOSLessons unlock in order, quizzes have a pass mark, and every student sees four rings showing exactly where they stand.

"Chasing instalments is the worst part of my month."

With YogaOSEach student has an instalment plan with dates and amounts. They pay online to your own Stripe account, and you see what is due.

A student's week, in the app.

Training hours, payments due with Pay now, and reminders on the phone and the watch.

Kula OS, for teacher-training academies

A training academy, from admission to graduation.

Built around how a 200-hour or 300-hour teacher training actually runs: part in the studio, part online, every hour accounted for.

  • Admissions. Enquiry pipeline, lead sources, follow-ups, message templates and direct enrolment.
  • Course pages. A web page and a printable brochure for every course, and a booking widget for your own website.
  • Courses. Course, module, lesson. Lessons unlock in order, with video from YouTube, Vimeo or Google Drive.
  • Quizzes. A pass mark, question-by-question review, and retakes that a trainer approves.
  • Practice and reels. Practice videos per course and a short-video feed, with progress per student.
  • Timetable and attendance. Students mark attendance for in-studio sessions; hours go straight to their record.
  • Payments. Instalment plans, online payment through your own Stripe account, manual payments, invoices and tax.
  • Deposits and reminders. A deposit paid online when a student books, a payment policy per course, and instalment reminders by email and in the app with a Pay now link.
  • Roles. Admin, manager, staff and student, with courses that can be shared between managers.

Four rings show a student where they stand

An example for a 200-hour course. You set the hour targets for each course once, and every screen uses the same numbers.

The YogaOS app

Your students carry the course with them.

Your students download the YogaOS app and log in. They see your academy, with your name, logo and colour.

  • Progress. Four rings show the hours done against the hours required.
  • Courses and lessons. Video lessons that unlock in order, with quizzes and their results.
  • Attendance. They mark themselves present during an in-studio session.
  • Practice and reels, and messages from the academy.
  • Payments. What is due, with Pay now by card, and a reminder in the app and by email before each instalment.
  • Notifications on the phone and on Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch. Tapping one opens the right screen.
  • Face ID and fingerprint login, in light and dark mode.

Why YogaOS

Why academies choose YogaOS.

Studio software runs the front desk. Course platforms sell lessons. YogaOS is built for a yoga business that does both, and for the people who move between them.

Only in YogaOS

The whole yoga path in one system

A studio, a teacher-training academy and freelance teachers, with one login for the client who moves from drop-in to trainee to teacher. Others sell a studio tool and leave the training to a course platform.

Only in YogaOS

Training hours from real attendance

Trainees mark attendance in the app during an in-studio session and the hours count towards their certificate straight away, beside lessons, quizzes and practice. No spreadsheet to reconcile.

Rare elsewhere

Follow-up on WhatsApp, already written

Enquiries are answered from your own WhatsApp number with the message ready to send. Most studio software offers email and SMS only.

Built in

The money side, not just payments

Tax-ready invoices, expenses, marketing cost, instructor payroll and inventory feed one set of reports, so you see what a class earns and what a new client cost.

Built in

AI that drafts, people approve

Ask Shala answers your team from your own records, read-only. Outreach drafts wait for a person to approve them before any client sees them.

Fair terms

Your Stripe, no contract, no extra cut

Online payments go straight to your own Stripe account, with no YogaOS fee added on top. Pay month to month, or yearly with two months free.

What would you save?

Dr. Sundara Beam Rao Kasi

Made in a yoga studio, not in a software lab.

YogaOS was created by Dr. Sundara Beam Rao Kasi, the founder of 1000 Petaled Lotus Yoga Academy and Kasi Yoga in Dubai.

It began as the software for his own studio and teacher-training academy, because the general booking tools did not fit how a yoga business works. It still runs both every day, which is how each feature is tested before it reaches yours.

Try it free for 14 days, or book a walkthrough.

We set YogaOS up with your classes and packages for a 14-day free trial, or first show it to you on a real studio's data. We reply by WhatsApp or email within 48 hours to fix a time.

No card and no commitment. We reply by WhatsApp or email within 48 hours, and use your details only for this.

Questions people ask.

Can I try YogaOS before paying?

Yes. Choose the free trial in the form below. We set YogaOS up with your classes and packages, and you use it with your team for 14 days. No card is needed, and if you do not continue, nothing is charged.

Do you take a share of my sales?

No. Clients pay into your own Stripe account and YogaOS takes 0% of it. You pay only the monthly plan and Stripe's own card fee.

Is there a discount for Yoga Alliance schools?

Yes: 20% off the monthly plan for Yoga Alliance registered schools and members. Mention it in the form and we apply it when we set you up.

How does attendance count towards training hours?

In-studio sessions are on the academy timetable. A student marks attendance in the app during the session and the hours are added to their record straight away. There is no separate attendance sheet to reconcile.

Can I set my own hour targets?

Yes. You set the in-studio and online hour targets for each course once, and every screen uses the same numbers. A 200-hour and a 300-hour course can run side by side.

Where do the lesson videos live?

You can use your own YouTube, Vimeo or Google Drive links at no extra charge, or let us store and stream them with the video hosting add-on.

How do students pay?

Each student has an instalment plan with the amounts and dates you choose. They pay online through your own Stripe account, or you record a payment made another way.

Can we start in the middle of a course?

Yes. We import your students, and you can mark the lessons and hours they have already completed so their progress starts in the right place.

Can I have an app under my own name?

Not yet. Today your clients use the YogaOS app, which shows your name, logo and colour once they log in. A separately listed app under your own name is in our pipeline.

Is there an annual contract?

No. Plans are billed month to month and you can cancel at any time. If you choose to pay yearly, you get two months free and we waive the $249 setup fee.

What is the founding rate, and what happens after a year?

The first 25 studios, 25 academies and 25 teachers to join pay the founding rate, locked for their first 12 months. After that the plan moves to the standard price shown here, and we tell you a month before. Studios already with us at $39 a month keep that rate.

What does YogaOS not do yet?

Late-cancel and no-show fees and email campaigns are what we are building next. New clients can already sign themselves up by buying an intro offer or a course seat on your website. An app listed under your own studio's name comes after that. We would rather tell you now than after you switch.

What happens after I send the request?

We contact you by WhatsApp or email within 48 hours to arrange a one-to-one walkthrough and talk through your set-up.
