The Weekly Roundup

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.

Hosted by Mara and featuring members of the YC team, each episode brings real talk, wild stories, and juicy behind-the-scenes takes from life inside the yoga industry.

In this episode:

Yoga is all about balance… but this episode? Absolutely not. From rogue body parts making surprise cameos to clogs-wearing studio owners sprinting through strip malls, we’re spilling the most unhinged, awkward, and laugh-out-loud tales from the mat. Mara is joined by Carol and Terri as they swap wild studio stories, weigh in on musical mishaps (Coolio in Savasana, anyone?), and reveal what not to wear in hot yoga. Spoiler alert: it might be a thong. Or a diaper. Buckle up, Booch crew—this one’s dripping in sweat and sass.

In this episode:

You know that one sacred yoga rule? Never trust a fart in happy yoga. Well… someone didn’t get the memo. In this laugh-til-you-cry episode of Spill the Booch, Mara and Coach Carol unpack a Reddit tale so unhinged, so unforgettable, it’ll make you second guess that burrito you had for lunch. A poor soul lets one slip during class and ends up in a full-blown poopocalypse—black leggings, dim lights, and all. From there, we spiral (with love) into personal horror stories, studio poop emergencies, fainting students, and why white pants are the ultimate villain in the wellness world. If you’ve ever had something go very wrong in class (or just want to feel better about your most embarrassing moment), this one’s for you.

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

In this episode, Bridget, Terri, Josh and Carol dig into a coaching topic that keeps coming up again and again—because it’s that important: converting intro offers into memberships. They unpack the irreplaceable power of in-person sales conversations, the true role of your front desk team (spoiler: it's not just to say hello), and why relying solely on automations is leaving money on the table. Plus, they dive into the click-to-cancel saga, teachable moments from Beyonce, and how to transform cancellations into brand evangelism. Whether you’re solo at the front desk or managing a growing team, this one is a masterclass in increasing retention and connection.

In this episode:

What do you do when you open a brand new yoga studio… and literally no one shows up? In this episode of Spill the Booch, Mara is joined by Marija and YC Coaches Carol, and Terri to unpack a Reddit post from a student stuck in one-on-one awkward class limbo—and wondering if this whole yoga thing was a mistake. The crew dives deep into the harsh realities of launching in a small town, how to market on a shoestring budget, and what to do when your community would rather shovel manure than sign up for your slow flow. Expect real advice, sass-laced strategy, a little hot dog suit desperation, and some truly unhinged entrepreneurial energy. This one’s for every teacher who’s taught to a single soul—and every studio owner who’s ever stared at an empty signup list and thought, “what have I done?”

Episode #17 of Amplify Your Impact: From Burnout to Boundaries—How Kristin Sapp Reclaimed Her Role as CEO (and Mom)

⚠️ Warning: Real-life entrepreneurship is raw, and so is this show. We record live, unedited, and unfiltered.

In this episode:

Kristin Sapp, longtime yoga studio owner and founder of Orange Lotus Yoga, joins Josh to pull back the curtain on the real journey of building a purpose-driven business while raising kids, battling burnout, and facing every entrepreneur’s nightmare: doing it all, alone. From the messy middle of launching her studio with no business background to finally stepping into her CEO seat with the help of a team she trusts, Kristin gets real about the decisions that changed her life—and the ones that almost broke her.

Whether you're debating if it's time to ask for help, juggling business and babies, or rethinking your relationship with “balance,” this episode will hit home.

• You don’t need to know it all—but you do need to start. Most successful entrepreneurs leap before they’re fully “ready.”

• Asking for help isn’t weakness—it’s the move that sustains your business and your sanity.

• Your business can’t thrive if you’re burnt out. Building a strong team and keeping your personal practice alive isn’t optional—it’s survival.

About Our Guest: Kristin Sapp

Kristin is a powerhouse female entrepreneur, mom of two, and owner of Orange Lotus Yoga Studio. She’s been in the game since 2011, creating an inclusive, welcoming studio experience while evolving her brand and offerings to keep up with the times—and her clients' needs.

• Owner of Orange Lotus Yoga in Exton, PA for 14+ years
• Transformed a Bikram-only studio into a thriving multi-modality business offering yoga, hot pilates, sculpt, and more
• Known for balancing personal integrity with sustainable growth and team development
• Advocates for ethical entrepreneurship and women reclaiming leadership in wellness spaces

Kristin uses her platform to model what’s possible when you lead with heart and let go of the martyrdom narrative. She’s passionate about helping people transform through movement—and believes that paying your team well and making money as a wellness entrepreneur are not mutually exclusive.

In this very first episode of Spill the Booch, we dive headfirst into the chaos, cringe, and culty energy of yoga studio “nope” moments. From parking nightmares and bloody beginner headstands to unsolicited Sanskrit serenades and trauma-baiting teachers, Mara, Josh, Carol, and Marija unpack what not to do when running a studio. Plus, a surprise acoustic moment from Josh that might just transport you to an Oasis—and a booch explosion that left chia seeds stuck to the ceiling. Literally.

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

This week’s Roundup goes deep into the emotional trenches of studio ownership. Josh, Terri, and Carol tackle the hard-hitting question so many owners wrestle with: What the heck am I doing with my business? From making instinctive, gut-level decisions to overcoming analysis paralysis and burnout, the coaches break down the power of clarity, letting go of “cancers” in your studio, and why your next hire probably isn’t another teacher (hint: it’s front desk). If you’re stuck in a swirl of overthinking or unsure what’s next, this one’s your wake-up call—and your permission to take bold action.

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

In this week’s Roundup, Josh, Bridget, and Carol unpack one of the sneakiest profit-killers in the boutique fitness world: drop-ins. From hilarious “you’re fired” studio rules to real-life pricing breakdowns, they dismantle the myths around drop-in culture and lay out why MRR (monthly recurring revenue) is the only sustainable path forward. They also dive into bookkeeping fears, QuickBooks fails, and why outsourcing your accounting doesn’t mean giving up control. Whether you’re team nerd or team numbers-what-now, this episode is your financial gut check—with laughs, clarity, and tough love included.

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

This week’s Roundup dives deep into one of the most misunderstood and overlooked issues in the yoga and wellness industry: your product—aka your class experience. The coaches unpack why most studios don’t do actual product development, and how lack of consistency, unclear class types, and misaligned teaching styles lead to broken sales funnels and poor member retention. Expect real talk on tough love leadership, redefining teacher expectations, and how clarity in your product directly impacts everything from lead gen to pricing. Plus, Terri shares why even her least favorite class can still be a powerful product when it’s done right.
