Community
At The Hot Yoga Spot, we value our community above all else. Our yoga instructors, students and franchisees are our top priorities. We do everything possible to support our yoga family and to build a strong community within and across our different locations. This includes workshops, retreats, fundraisers, events at local establishments and other ways to foster student growth, develop our teaching team and empower our business owners.
Class Variety
The Hot Yoga Spot realizes every studio owner will be passionate about different types of yoga and each community will gravitate toward various teachers and styles. We understand each studio will be a special place and we honor the unique identity of every location. We provide you with the tools and guidance to create an effective and diverse class schedule that caters to your clients and your teaching staff.
Website & Marketing
Enjoy a quality website and marketing strategies with little work on your end. The Hot Yoga Spot continuously updates its website to make it easy for clients to navigate and for increasing visibility through SEO. Owners are provided access to our proven marketing material and strategies to effectively impact your community and advertise your business. This will allow you to spend more time focusing on the fun classes and community building as we handle the more challenging, behind the scenes aspects of owning a business
Instructor Trainings and Retreats
As part of our national network, your studio and community will enjoy quality instructor trainings, mentorship programs and invitations to national and international yoga retreats. We handle the logistics and planning and do the work for you. Not only will your staff and community be given several opportunities throughout the year to join The Hot Yoga Spot on these adventures, you will receive a percentage of the revenue generated – without any effort. The Hot Yoga Spot team will even host trainings at your studio to build your community and teach you how to lead these yourself to further elevate your business.
Retail Relationships
The Hot Yoga Spot has cultivated relationships with the industry's leading retailers. We have negotiated fair rates and low minimum quantities that can be enjoyed by all our franchisees. This allows you to stock your retail boutique and order quality goods for reasonably low prices.
Low Overhead
Our business model is structured with a low overhead. The business is closed during the day when classes are not in session and instructor compensation is based on attendance. For that reason, overhead is less and wasted fees are eliminated.
