Yoga studio owners face unique challenges as they bridge the space between health, fitness, wellness, and — of course — entrepreneurship. Managing the financials, leading a team of yogis, and creating a practice that keeps people coming through the doors is no simple feat. But you, you fearless practitioner are up for the task! And, of course, fitDEGREE is here to help with the management of your yoga studio. There are the naysayers out there who think yoga studios can’t be profitable businesses, but the numbers say otherwise. Yoga, in fact, is big business in the U.S. There are around 55 million people practicing yoga in the United States (source) and the average yogi spends $62,640 over their lifetime on classes, workshops, and accessories — or nearly $90 per month. They practice regularly, with a majority (44%) going 2-3 times a week.
