  • Spill the Booch - Ep. 8: Backyard Om Invasion: The Tale of a Classic Karen Crime

    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:

    Your backyard is your sanctuary… until your neighbor turns it into her personal yoga studio. In this episode, Mara and the Booch crew tackle a Reddit tale of incense clouds, calming nature sounds (okay wait — this doesn't sound so bad), and one yogi neighbor named Karen (of all the names) who’s way too comfortable crossing property lines. Cue the sprinkler warfare strategies, manure-based revenge plots, and the shocking moment we discover that Terri… might actually be a closet Karen. It’s petty, it’s punchy, and it’s proof that sometimes the most dangerous pose is the boundary overstep.

  • Spill the Booch - Ep. 7: Mat Over Matrimony, Bridal Bliss Blocked by a Yoga Retreat

    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:

    When yoga clashes with wedding bells, who wins—the bride or the mat? In this week’s drama-filled episode, Mara and the Booch crew dive into their very first Am I the A**hole story, where a bride’s dream wedding date collides with her mom’s annual yoga retreat… and things spiral fast.


    Is Mom the villain? Is the wedding industrial complex to blame? Or is this a textbook case of “issues in the tissues” — Terri's version for when old emotional baggage bubbles up in the most inconvenient ways? The coaches weigh in with their takes on family boundaries, retreat planning nightmares, and some surprisingly sound conflict resolution advice.


    And that’s not all — this episode serves up legendary revenge plans for “VIP guests” who bail on your big day, including the now-infamous Noodle Dad and other unhinged ideas you’ll just have to hear to believe.

  • YC Weekly Roundup - From Sticky Notes to Systems: Why Your Project Management Is Failing

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


    In this week’s YC Weekly Roundup, the team dives deep into the messy truth about project management in yoga studios—why more than half of independent studios ditch their systems within a year, and how to avoid joining that statistic. The coaches share their own missteps (yes, multiple failed Asana attempts), the dangers of binary thinking, and the simple starting points that actually stick. You’ll also hear a lively debate on cancellation policies, “yes fees,” and valuing your time, plus tips on breaking out of overwhelm as a new studio owner. Whether you’re running your studio from sticky notes or scaling up with templates, this conversation will help you get organized, stay consistent, and grow without losing your sanity.

  • Spill the Booch - Ep. 6: Press Play & Pray - Blindsided by a DVD & the Splits

    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: What happens when you show up for a vinyasa class… and the teacher is a video with no cues, no supervision, and a finale in the splits? Mara and the Booch Bunch break down this Reddit horror story—complete with fake sun salutations, joyful plow (??), and zero warmup before the dramatic split drop.

    From studio trust issues to the fine line between yoga flow and full-on spiritual babble, this episode is equal parts wtf, wisdom, and wheeze-laughs.

    Grab your kombucha and press play—just hopefully not in place of your yoga teacher.

  • Spill the Booch - Ep. 5: Red Flag Roundup - What Students Really Think About Your Studio

    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.


    Think your studio’s welcoming? Your pricing transparent? Your classes exactly as described?


    Think again.


    In this episode, Mara and the Booch Crew unpack a wildly relatable Reddit thread where students spill the tea on their biggest yoga studio red (and green) flags—from culty vibes and questionable upsells to hot rooms hotter than advertised. We’re talking:


    • Studios that say “power flow” but deliver a nap

    • The chaos of sketchy pricing and new-student gatekeeping

    • Mirrors, mala beads, and the fine line between spiritual and sus


    Whether you’re running a studio, teaching at one, or just trying to avoid joining a kombucha-fueled cult, this one’s got the unfiltered feedback you need to hear.
