The Weekly Roundup

Welcome to the YC Weekly Roundup - a show hosted by The Yogapreneur Collective coaches.

This week’s Roundup is a rollercoaster through the hottest (and most controversial) studio owner topics: AI, social media, and retention. Carol, Terri, Josh, and Bridget dive into how to actually use AI as your business co-pilot, why “quitting social media” might not be the silver bullet, and the real reasons clients cancel memberships (hint: it’s not money or time). From custom GPT sales assistants to handwritten notes that wow, the coaches unpack where studios are winning—and where they’re leaving thousands on the table. If you’ve ever wondered how to blend high-tech tools with timeless human connection, this episode is for you.

Welcome to Spill the Booch—the show where we spill tea (and sometimes kombucha) on the funniest, weirdest, and most WTF moments from the yoga and wellness world.

In this episode:

This week on Spill the Booch, Mara and Coach Carol unpack a Reddit classic: should a husband be expected to wake up at 6:30 AM to drive his pregnant wife to yoga—or is she totally capable of getting herself there? 🚗🧘‍♀️

It’s a showdown of sleep vs. chivalry, commitment vs. boundaries, and exactly where the line is between selfish and self-protective. Expect hot takes, relatable studio-owner parallels, and a rapid-fire game of “Yogi or Nope” featuring the most unhinged student requests (spoiler: kombucha rent and crystal blessings made the list).

Because yoga may be zen… but relationships? Not always.

Welcome to the YC Weekly Roundup - a show hosted by The Yogapreneur Collective coaches.

This week’s Roundup gets real about one of the toughest parts of running a yoga studio: what to do when your team pushes back on everything you try to change. Should you burn it all down and start fresh—or double down on boundaries and systems? The coaches swap stories about uncomfortable staff meetings, leadership growing pains, and how fear (and shame) show up for owners. From hiring strategies to teacher pay debates to leading with mission-driven clarity, this episode is packed with raw insight, practical solutions, and just the right amount of tough love.

Welcome to Spill the Booch—the show where we spill tea (oops, I mean booch) on the funniest, weirdest, and most WTF moments from the yoga and wellness world.

In this episode:

Yoga might be ancient, but the gimmicks? Oh, they’re brand new — and getting wilder by the minute. This week on Spill the Booch, Mara and the crew unpack the rise of “puppy yoga” (adorable in theory, messy and morally murky in practice) before spiraling into a hilarious debate on why yoga seems to attract every marketing stunt under the sun.

From goat gong baths to taco Tuesday flows, silent disco vinyasa to Taylor Swift savasana, we’re rating the best, worst, and burn-it-with-fire class ideas. Plus, Josh barges in late just to declare, “Puppy yoga is stupid” — and honestly? He’s not wrong.

If you’ve ever wondered where the line is between a mindful practice and a circus act, this episode is your permission slip to laugh, cringe, and maybe re-think your next “trendy” studio event.

Welcome to the YC Weekly Roundup - a show hosted by The Yogapreneur Collective coaches.

This week’s Roundup dives into one of the toughest parts of studio ownership: ending employee relationships. From firing friends to avoiding “hostage situations,” the YC coaches share hard-earned lessons on leadership, boundaries, and loyalty vs. alignment. But it’s not all heavy—after Terri’s dramatic mid-sentence mic drop, the crew shifts gears to fresh strategies for keeping members engaged long after they join. From heart-centered email sequences to rethinking direct-to-membership models, this episode is packed with practical advice (and a few laughs) on building a studio culture that lasts.

Welcome to Spill the Booch—the Studio Cult TV show where we spill tea (and sometimes kombucha) on the funniest, weirdest, and most WTF moments from the yoga and wellness world.

In this episode:

Mara and the entire Booch crew tackle a Reddit relationship classic with a hot yoga twist: a boyfriend spirals after seeing a hot yoga studio photo and decides Bikram attire = “swingers club.” We unpack what’s actually normal in a 40°C class (spoiler: small outfits, big sweat), how studio culture has shifted from booty shorts to high-tech fabrics, and why mirrors are about self-acceptance—not thirst traps.

Expect laughs, a little relationship coaching, and one unforgettable mantra: “Love my 🍑 as it is.” We also debate the MOST inappropriate hot-yoga outfit (latex bodysuit? denim romper? …Borat suit?!), plus the absolute BEST reaction ever from one crew member discovering for the first time, live on air, what a Borat suit actually is. The reaction = priceless.

Hit play for humor, hot takes, and the reminder that in yoga (and relationships), you don’t experience reality—you experience your filter. Subscribe to Studio Cult TV, drop your wildest studio stories, and tell us: what’s YOUR red-flag outfit for hot yoga?

Welcome to the YC Weekly Roundup - a show hosted by The Yogapreneur Collective coaches.

In this week’s Roundup, the team dives deep into one of the buzziest (and most misunderstood) words in business: scaling. What does it actually mean for a yoga or wellness studio, and when is it the right move? The coaches break down the difference between growth and true scale, the hidden risks of scaling too quickly, and why complacency can quietly sabotage your success. Expect candid stories, tough-love insights, and even a fisherman’s parable that’ll have you rethinking your next big move.

Welcome to Spill the Booch—the Studio Cult TV show where we spill tea (and sometimes kombucha) on the funniest, weirdest, and most WTF moments from the yoga and wellness world.

This week on Spill the Booch, Mara and the Booch crew dive into a Reddit post asking: “Why do yoga teachers always assume you’re unhappy?” What starts as a debate on intention-setting quickly spirals into a full-blown Yoga Teacher Bingo of awkward cues and cringey class phrases—think “breathe into your armpit,” “windmill yourself everywhere,” and yes, way too many mentions of the word anus.

From culty undertones of intention-setting to the comedy of lost-in-translation yoga cues, we unpack whether teachers are inspiring, projecting, or just… saying things they shouldn’t.

Grab your mat (and maybe a bingo card) because this episode is equal parts hilarious, eye-opening, and painfully relatable to anyone who’s ever been trapped in a class where “moist” made an appearance.

Welcome to the Weekly Roundup - a show hosted by The Yogapreneur Collective coaches.

This week’s Roundup dives into some of the trickiest (and juiciest) challenges studio owners face. Terri, Carol, Josh, and Marija debate whether banning phones in the lobby is a battle worth fighting, and how to handle a teacher demanding double pay just weeks before YTT kicks off. They break down what studio owners really need to consider when running a teacher training—from budgeting and contracts to whether it’s even profitable in the first place. Plus, the crew shares smart strategies for sales conversations, objection handling, and staying calm when things get awkward. Real talk, real numbers, and real laughs—this one’s packed.

Welcome to Spill the Booch—the Studio Cult TV show where we spill tea (and sometimes kombucha) on the funniest, weirdest, and most WTF moments from the yoga and wellness world.

This week on Spill the Booch, Mara and the Booch crew unpack a Reddit drama that starts with “Am I overreacting if my girlfriend lied about her ex?”—and unravels into studio dating policies, trust issues, and wine-fueled confessions.

From Terri’s unexpectedly monologue on “the male species” to tales of man-buns, wine-spills, and studio love triangles gone wrong, the Booch crew pulls back the curtain on just how messy (and occasionally true-crime–worthy) yoga studio relationships can get.

It’s equal parts hilarious, unhinged, and eye-opening—because in the wellness world, sometimes the tea is just as hot as the yoga room.
