Today I went to yoga class. I’ve been attending classes somewhat regularly for the last two weeks. Great instructors, a sense of community, a mental and physical break in the middle of the day — what more can you ask for?

How about… more information. 

The yoga experience differs in a class of two compared to a class of ten compared to a class of 20. Some people like small classes while others like larger classes. 

Space is another factor – will there be enough space so I’m not whacking my neighbor during sun salutations? Or looked at another way, how can we best use the space we have for the number of people attending the class?

Yoga studios could use Divvy to increase their students’ visibility into how crowded a class could be. They can also receive reports to see which classes were the most attended. This information can then be used to refine class offerings, enabling the studio to provide a better experience for its students.

Students can use Divvy to pay for the classes when they sign up, thus freeing them to just enjoy yoga when they arrive. The administrative overhead associated with yoga class has been addressed.

Greater certainty around class size, a streamlined student experience, and better data for long-term strategic planning enables both studios and students to win.  

Namaste.
