Simple Student Retention Tips for Your Yoga Studio

When we talk to yoga studio owners, they often tell us that they started a studio to share the benefits of a personal yoga practice with the support of a like-minded community. There’s a reason the word practice is so common in yoga. The rewards of practicing yoga build upon themselves over time, with consistent, loyal dedication.

The same principle of practice applies to the business side of running a yoga studio. Your studio will see long-term benefits when it has a student retention practice in place, resulting in a loyal membership base. If you can integrate some simple student retention strategies into your day-to-day operations, just like a yoga habit, you’ll see long-term returns.

Research shows that it costs yoga studios 10 times more to attract a new student than it does to retain a current one. We talked to yoga studios to find out what they do to retain students and created a detailed guide with simple retention tactics you can begin implementing at your studio this week.

One of the key tips we heard over and over is this: student loyalty is earned by making the student feel valued. Students prioritize the quality of the instruction, but they stay for the long-term because they have an emotional connection to your studio. In fact, the most loyal student may think of their teacher as a mentor, trusting them to guide the advancement of their practice.

Taking time to listen to students, guide them, send personalized notes and customize their experience to help them advance, can all help students feel connected.
