Sound familiar?

"An enquiry came in on Friday. Nobody replied until Tuesday."

With YogaOSEvery enquiry sits in a pipeline. Follow-ups due today are listed each morning, with the WhatsApp message already written.

"A regular stopped coming and nobody noticed for a month."

With YogaOSEach morning the Outreach Queue finds clients who have gone quiet and drafts a personal message for your team to approve.

"The class was full, someone cancelled, and the spot stayed empty."

With YogaOSThe waitlist notifies the next person the moment a spot opens, and they book it themselves from the app.

Shala OS, for studios

From the first enquiry to the month's payroll.

Everything the front desk and the owner touch in a day lives in one place, so nothing has to be copied from one tool into another.

On-demand video in Shala OS

Your classes online, on your terms.

A recorded class can run at a set time every week, the way a live class does. A client who joins ten minutes late starts ten minutes in.

The same video can also sit in a library, be released on a date, or be assigned privately to one client.

  • One package pays for both. Each package can include studio classes, live video classes and library views.
  • Extra video credits. Sell credit packs to clients who want more.
  • Free previews and re-watch. A watched video stays free to re-watch for 48 hours.
  • Clear records. Staff see who watched what and what paid for it. Clients see their own credits and history.
  • Online-only memberships. For clients who never come to the studio.
AI assistant for Shala OS, an add-on

AI drafts. People decide.

The AI in YogaOS does the preparation for your team. It never speaks to a client on its own: a member of staff approves everything a client receives.

Ask Shala

Ask a question about your studio in plain words and get the answer from your own data. No report to build.

Outreach Queue

Every morning it finds the clients who need a word (new, lapsing, having a birthday, reaching a milestone) and drafts a personal message for each. Nothing is sent until someone approves it.

Follow-up drafts

When an enquiry is due for a follow-up, a suggested reply is ready. Edit it, send it on WhatsApp, move the enquiry to the next stage.

Read-onlyIt can look things up. It cannot change or delete anything.

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

  • Timetable and booking. They book and cancel themselves, and join a waitlist when a class is full.
  • Packages. Classes remaining and expiry, always visible, and a new package bought by card in the app.
  • Video. Live video classes and the library, with their credits and history.
  • Notifications for class reminders, a waitlist spot opening, invites to classes with space, and messages from you, on the phone and on Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch.
  • Their choice. Clients decide which reminders, invites and offers they receive.
  • Face ID and fingerprint login, in light and dark mode.

Why YogaOS

Why studios 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.

Not ready to talk yet? Take the guide.

Seven WhatsApp follow-ups that turn a yoga enquiry into a member. The exact sequence, with wording you can copy.

  • What to send in the first five minutes
  • Three follow-ups that do not feel like chasing
  • The message to send the evening after a trial class
  • How to bring back a regular who has gone quiet

We will email you about YogaOS now and then. Unsubscribe by replying "stop".

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 is this different from general gym or studio software?

General tools handle bookings and payments for any fitness business. Shala OS is built for a yoga studio: the enquiry follow-up on WhatsApp, the waitlist, packages with freezes and sharing, and recorded classes that run like live ones.

How do I move from my current software?

Export your client list as a spreadsheet from the software you use now and send it to us. We import it, then set up your classes, packages and team logins with you before you go live.

Does the AI send messages to my clients by itself?

No. It drafts messages and answers your team's questions. A member of your staff reads and approves anything before a client sees it, and you choose which kinds of outreach are switched on.

Can clients pay online today?

You can attach a Stripe payment link to any package today. Full self-checkout, where the client pays and the package activates by itself, is what we are building now.

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.
