Yoga Studio Pricing Strategies: Drop-ins, Packs, and Memberships

Yoga Studio Pricing Strategies: Drop-ins, Packs, and Memberships

Mar 29, 2025

Pricing your yoga classes isn’t just about numbers — it’s about balance. You want to make yoga accessible, stay competitive, and keep your business sustainable. Whether you’re just opening your studio or revisiting your pricing model, having a flexible, smart strategy is key.

Let’s break down the most effective yoga studio pricing models — and how Qest AI helps you manage them with ease.

1. Drop-In Classes: Flexibility for Newcomers

Who it’s for:

  • First-timers

  • Occasional yogis

  • Visitors to town

Drop-ins are the most flexible option and help bring in new faces. They should be reasonably priced — slightly higher than the per-class rate of a pack — and easy to book online.

Qest AI tip: Automate email follow-ups after a drop-in to offer a discounted class pack.

2. Class Packs: A Balanced Middle Ground

Who it’s for:

  • Students who attend semi-regularly

  • Budget-conscious yogis

  • Gift purchasers

Offer 5-class, 10-class, or 20-class packs that expire after a certain time period (e.g. 60 or 90 days). They give your clients flexibility while keeping revenue more predictable.

Qest AI tip: Set up automatic expiry reminders and notify students when their packs are running low.

3. Unlimited Memberships: For Your Core Community

Who it’s for:

  • Daily practitioners

  • Highly engaged clients

  • Your studio’s biggest fans

Monthly or yearly unlimited memberships create consistent revenue. Add perks like guest passes, priority booking, or free events to add value.

Qest AI tip: Use recurring billing and loyalty tracking to make this seamless and rewarding.

4. Trial Offers: Convert New Students

Who it’s for:

  • First-time students

  • People unsure about committing

Popular options include:

  • 1 week unlimited for $20

  • First 3 classes for $30

  • $1 first class

It lowers the barrier to entry and helps clients build routine.

Qest AI tip: Use automated sequences to upsell from a trial to a class pack or membership after their third visit.

5. Tiered Pricing for Different Demographics

Consider offering:

  • Student discounts

  • Senior pricing

  • Corporate wellness packages

  • Community classes (pay what you can)

Qest AI tip: Create and assign pricing rules by client tags — no need to handle it manually at check-in.

6. Events, Workshops & Specialty Classes

Separate from your regular pricing model, special events can carry a premium fee and attract new audiences.

Examples:

  • Full Moon Flow & Sound Bath ($25)

  • Partner Yoga Workshop ($40 per pair)

  • 30-Day Challenge Package ($99)

Qest AI tip: Easily create one-off events with different pricing, booking limits, and instructor setups.

Finding the Right Mix

Most successful yoga studios offer a combination of:

  • Drop-ins (for flexibility)

  • Packs (for commitment)

  • Memberships (for loyalty and sustainability)

Your pricing strategy should reflect your brand, your students’ lifestyles, and your business goals.
