Why yoga teachers are leaving Mindbody

If you teach a few classes a week and sometimes a retreat, you don't need a $139/month studio platform. You need a way to know who's coming, hold space when classes fill, and let students reschedule without WhatsApp chaos.

Who's In gives yoga teachers a free shareable link for every class. Students tap, RSVP, get a confirmation. When you hit your mat-count cap, the waitlist runs itself — drops out, next student in, automatic notification. Recurring weekly classes are a one-time setup. Retreats with deposits use the same flow with paid checkout.

It's the same software a Mindbody-using studio owner gets — but priced for an independent teacher running 5 classes a week, not 500.

Sound familiar?

You're not alone. These are the challenges we hear every day.

WhatsApp groups for headcounts don't scale

By the time you've scrolled back through 47 messages to tally Tuesday's class, three new students have replied to last week's thread.

Avg yoga group chat: 200+ messages per week

Mat space is finite, replies are infinite

Your studio holds 18 mats. Twenty people said yes. Now you're picking who gets in by reply timestamp, manually, on a Saturday morning.

Capacity-mismanagement is the #1 complaint in yoga student reviews

Recurring classes mean recurring admin

Every Tuesday and Thursday, every week, forever. Setting up a new RSVP form each time turns a 45-minute class into 90 minutes of work.

Independent teachers spend 4–6 hrs/week on class admin

Last-minute cancellations leave waitlist guessing

A student drops out at 7am for the 9am class. The next person on your waitlist is at work and won't see your text until lunch — by which time they've missed it.

40% of waitlist promotions need to happen in <2 hrs to fill

Features that match how yoga classes actually run

Not a watered-down studio platform. Built specifically for independent teachers.

Recurring weekly classes

Set up Tuesday 7pm Vinyasa once. The platform creates every week's class automatically. Edit the studio location, capacity, or price for one week without breaking the recurring series.

Auto-promoting waitlist

Set your mat-count cap. When students cancel, the next person on the waitlist gets an automatic email AND moves to confirmed. You don't lift a finger.

Morning-of reminders

Every confirmed student gets a friendly email the morning of class. They show up. You sent zero reminders manually.

Stripe-backed paid classes

Drop-in fee, class pack, retreat deposit. Stripe handles checkout. Funds go straight to your account — Who's In never holds your money.

QR check-in at the studio door

Scan students in as they arrive. Late arrivals show up as late. No paper sign-in sheet. CSV export at the end of the month for your accountant.

Zero student app — works in any browser

Students tap your WhatsApp link, RSVP in 2 taps, done. No download, no signup, no password. They can find their class link in their email or your booking page.

From group chat to fully booked, in 90 seconds

The setup most yoga teachers do once, then never touch.

1

Create the class

Title, location, time, mat capacity. Mark it recurring if it's weekly. Add an optional drop-in fee. Done in under 2 minutes.

2

Share the link

Drop the WhatsApp share button into your community group, post the QR code on your studio door, embed it on your Linktree. Students RSVP without an account.

3

Show up and teach

Reminders, waitlist, check-in, payments — all running in the background. You arrive 5 minutes early, scan students in, teach, leave.

How real yoga teachers use Who's In

Three setups that cover 90% of independent practice.

Weekly drop-in classes

Recurring Tuesday + Thursday Vinyasa. 18-mat cap. Free for now (community phase). Waitlist auto-promotes when someone drops. Morning-of reminder. QR check-in at the door.

Paid weekend workshops

Sunday 2-hour deep-flow workshop, $35 drop-in. Stripe checkout. Refund policy clear at signup. 12-mat cap with a paid waitlist. Email reminders at 7 days, 24 hrs, and morning-of.

Retreat deposits + waivers

4-day Bali retreat, $400 deposit. Custom signup question for dietary needs. Wallet pass for the welcome event. Family pricing for couples. Cancellation policy with 60-day notice — accepted at signup.

Why yoga teachers leave their old setup

Not anti-Mindbody — just sized for an independent teacher's reality.

vs Mindbody

$139/month plus per-payment fees, plus an app your students have to download and learn. Brilliant for a 50-class studio. Overkill for someone teaching 5 classes a week.

vs Google Forms

No waitlist, no auto-promotion, no reminders, no payments. You're back to manually counting responses and emailing the spillover.

vs WhatsApp polls

No capacity caps, no waitlists, no record once a week passes. And the moment someone misses the chat thread, they're not on your list.

“I taught 4 classes a week through a WhatsApp group for two years. Setting up Who's In took me 20 minutes. The waitlist alone gave me back two hours every weekend. I'm not going back.”

Frequently asked

Real questions from yoga teachers.

Do my students need to download an app?
No. Students tap your link in WhatsApp, your Linktree, or your email — they RSVP in two taps and get a confirmation. No app, no signup, no password. They can manage their RSVP from the link in their email.
Is there a fee for free community classes?
No. The Events tier is free forever for free events. Unlimited classes, unlimited students, unlimited reminders. The only fee is 2.7% on paid bookings — and that's only when you charge for a class or retreat.
Can I have a class pack — pay for 10, attend any 10?
Yes. The Studio plan ($15.83/month annual or $19/month monthly) adds class packs, intro offers, member portals, and instructor profiles. Most independent teachers start free and upgrade only when they need packs.
What happens when a student cancels last-minute?
If you've set a waitlist, the platform automatically emails the next student on the list and moves them to confirmed. They get a "you're in for tonight" email. You don't have to do anything. The morning-of reminder still goes out to the new attendee.
How does Stripe checkout work for retreats?
You add a price (deposit, full payment, or both with a payment plan). Students pay through Stripe checkout. The money lands in your Stripe account directly — Who's In never holds it. Refunds, payment plans, and Apple Pay are built in.
