5 star rating Janis 5 star review for Georgetown February 13, 2025

Beautiful studio with exceptional trainers and a wide variety of classes! Especially love the sound bath classes! Can not recommend them enough!

5 star rating Pragati N. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Northloop February 12, 2025

This is a proper yoga studio! In the age of performative spirituality and competitive mindsets, the teachers at Flow Yoga bring grounded, authentic, creative, and healing energy to every class. My favorite class is Meg's Sunday morning Mobility & Flexibility class but I'll also do anything taught by JJ Pepper.

5 star rating Paige L. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate February 12, 2025

Great studio! I love the classes and the vibe and it's very affordable. There are always a lot of options for classes too.

5 star rating Toral P. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate February 11, 2025

I move around and travel a lot so I’ve experienced lots of different types of yoga and studios - I have never loved a studio as much as I do Flow! The studio itself is a beautiful, airy space that already helps you orient yourself before class. The teachers are thoughtful, intentional and knowledgeable about yoga from a physical and spiritual lens - I never feel any pressure to keep up appearances in this studio and I’ve never felt more comfortable to take any variation. I am building so much more strength and mobility because the teachers here encourage you to feel your body and find the intent and activation in each pose rather than just making the text-book shape without truly connecting to your body. I can’t reccomend this studio more - it’s a strength, connection and awareness practice for the body and mind 🙏

5 star rating Nila 5 star review for Flow Yoga Northloop February 11, 2025

I am OBSESSED with this place. If I wasn't traveling / moving again I would have easily made this my go-to spot living in Austin. Every instructor, class and fellow student was so kind and warm. I can't wait to come back every time I visit Austin

5 star rating Brooke F. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate February 11, 2025

The studio is immaculately clean, all the instructors are so talented, passionate and friendly. Flow Yoga in Georgetown is truly a special gem!

The 4 pillars to our franchise structure

Our technology is the backbone of what makes our structure so successful. Our in-house team of engineers are constantly developing products and services for our studios that help them simplify their business and grow exponentially.

Flow Yoga Computer
Self Check-in

Our self check-in app is all about streamling the in-studio flow of traffic. Our studios went from having 3 studio staff on site and a line out the door to 1 or no staff and checkins that take less than 20 seconds.

Student AI (artificial intelligence)

The easiest avenue for revenue is upselling students who are already fans. Flow's Student AI learns every students interest and behavior then uses that knowledge to educate them on bigger memberships, events, trainings, retreats, etc through your website, emails, and ads.

Event Automation

Events and workshops are a big part of our revenue but managing and marketing them has always been a challenge. With our technology you publish your event on Mindbody and the event is automatically sent to your website, Eventbrite, Meetup, Google and Facebook Events.

Website

We'll upgrade your website to integrate with our systems, perform better on Google, and respond faster. With this, you'll be able to cancel your hosting services and reduce or eliminate your web developer costs.

The most challenging part of running a studio is probably the operations. Theres a lot of moving parts and not enough man power to keep everything running smooth. We are constantly developing and testing new processes to help studios run smooth.

Marketing Automation
Support

Our Austin based support team helps students, teachers and owners through chat, email and phone. From basic things like password resets, to student retention and backend software support for owners.

Training/onboarding

Across our studios we have over 150 team members at any given time. To help you deal with the ebb and flow of staff we have dozens training videos, documents and processes for your teachers, front desk, managers and you.

Programming

We have 10 years of data on classes, events and trainings. We'll work with you to develop the most ideal schedule for your studio based on what we know works and if needed we'll provide the content for trainings and workshops.

Event templates

We've run over 2,000 wellness events and have compiled a catalog of events that we know can be successful. We'll provide you with outlines, descriptions, images, even suggested days, times and prices for each event.

Expense management

All of our studios survived 2 years of shut downs during covid with no bailouts by closely managing expenses and running our finances lean. Because of our size, we also get volume discounts on many services. We can go through expenses with you to find areas to optimize and see if there are opportunities for Flow to consolidate or reduce individual expenses.

For growing your studio we'll take an aggressive approach to sales and marketing, focusing not just on getting new students in the door, but also maximizing revenue from your existing students.

Marketing Automation
Marketing automation

We heavily utilize our Student AI and Marketing Automation to sell the right service to the right student, at the right time. Our system uses dynamic sections of your website and automated emails to keep students engaged, encourage them to upgrade and educate them on upcoming events and trainings.

Paid ads

We have a library of paid ads and landing pages that work quite well. We can set these up for your brand so you can easily manage them on your own.

SEO

The goal is to get as much organic traffic to your website and studio as possible. We have nearly 20 years of experience getting non-paid traffic to small businesses. We'll focus on improving your website, social media, google listings and map listings to grow the studio quickly and organically.

Upselling

Statistically, its 5 times easier to earn additional revenue from existing customers than from new customers. We use dozens of campaigns to keep existing students engaged and interested in new and upgraded services.

When adding new studios to our network we're looking to see what services, products and processes from other other studios might benefit that studio and vice versa

Marketing Automation
Retreats

As we start to expand into retreat spaces our studios have exclusive access to all inclusive retreat centers where you can host your yoga and wellness retreats.

Teacher Training

We have incredible teacher training content that works for both in-studio and online trainings. These trainings can add an additional $100,000 - $200,000 in annual revenue to your studio. The content is turn key and gives you everything you need to run your trainings.

Class experience

From famous yogi tea after class to infused cold compresses in shavasana and plush, cozy lounges, we bring the very best student experiences from each studio and share them with our other studios.

Cacao bar

Our cacao bars bring our studios an additional $10,000 - $20,000 in monthly revenue while building community with the students and teachers. Our bars are modular and plug and play to easily add to any studio.

We've been around the block, a few times, and we pour that experience into crafting perfect classes and very special studios

We do things a little different

We're life long yogi's and have seen how yoga and wellness can quite literally change peoples lives. The community, mobility, stress relief etc etc etc can transform a whole community. When we built Flow in 2012, we built it for the love of yoga but we learned that to sustain it we needed to think more like a business. So we returned to our roots, building startups, to turn Flow into one of the fastest growing and most profitable yoga studios - and having a 10x impact on our community.

Today we're on a mission to grow this impact and make it profitable for everyone involved - from the teachers and facilitators to the studio owners like you.

We do this by heavily investing in engineering, marketing, operations and artificial intelligence to free up our in-studio team to focus on impact. In fact our engineering team alone is larger than most companies. Wait - this is a yoga brand? The most savvy yoga brand you've ever seen.
