Studio Flow

Commune Yoga, a growing urban yoga studio, was facing increasing operational pressure as their class schedule expanded and student demand rose. Managing bookings, payments, cancellations, and waitlists manually became time-consuming and error-prone — leaving less time for community building and teaching.

After switching to Studio Flow, an all-in-one scheduling and booking platform designed specifically for fitness studios, Commune Yoga transformed both their internal operations and the overall student experience.

This case study explores how Studio Flow helped Commune Yoga automate essential workflows, improve class attendance, and attract new students more easily than ever before.

The Challenge

Before using Studio Flow, Commune Yoga struggled with:

Manual scheduling & inconsistent booking Managing class sign-ups through email or Instagram messages quickly became overwhelming. Students often forgot to confirm attendance, and the staff had no clear real-time record of who was attending which class.
Payment tracking issues Payments were processed through a mix of bank transfers, manual cash payments, and messages confirming receipts — a system that often led to confusion and lost revenue.
Difficulty growing their student base Because booking wasn’t streamlined, many prospective students hesitated to attend. There was no easy way for newcomers to browse the schedule, sign up for classes, or explore membership options.

The Solution: Implementing Studio Flow

Commune Yoga adopted Studio Flow as their primary booking and scheduling system. Within days, the studio was equipped with:

A public class schedule Students could browse upcoming classes, see teacher names, view class descriptions, and book instantly from their phone.
Automated attendance tracking Teachers could see real-time class rosters, cancellations, and waitlist movement without manually updating spreadsheets.
Integrated payments Students could pay for drop-ins or memberships directly through the platform — allowing the studio to eliminate manual tracking entirely.
A cleaner onboarding experience New students could create an account, buy a membership, and join their first class without friction.
