Booking software for yoga and Pilates studios in the UK

What yoga and Pilates studios need from booking software

Yoga and Pilates studios run on recurring class schedules with fixed capacity — 12 mats, 8 reformers, 20 spaces. Booking software should handle group sessions, waitlists, and class passes without a spreadsheet.

Clients expect to see the weekly timetable, book a spot, and buy a pass in one flow. A branded booking page beats sending people to a generic app where they discover competitors.

Classes, capacity, and instructors

• Recurring weekly classes with set times and capacity limits.
• Drop-in, block booking, and private session options.
• Per-instructor calendars for teachers with their own following.
• Waitlists when a class fills — clients get notified if a spot opens.
• Block studio closures, bank holidays, and teacher holidays.

Passes, memberships, and drop-ins

Most studios sell class packs — 5, 10, or unlimited monthly. Prepaid passes and memberships on Individual and Team let clients buy online and redeem against class bookings.

Drop-in pricing for new clients lowers the barrier to first visit. Promo codes help fill quieter weekday classes.

Prepayment and no-shows

A no-show on a full class wastes a spot another member wanted. Require prepayment or a card on file for drop-ins; members on passes are already committed.

Sway supports online payments and deposits on all plans. Class packs and memberships reduce no-shows because clients have already paid.

How Sway plans fit your business

Sway offers flat monthly pricing with no marketplace commission — on your own page or through Sway discovery as more businesses join. Start free with your own booking page, then upgrade when you need unlimited bookings, website embeds, or team calendars.

Growing beyond word of mouth

Many yoga and Pilates studios start with referrals and a Google listing. A booking link on your website, Instagram bio, and Google Business Profile turns interest into confirmed appointments — and as Sway grows, clients can discover you on the platform too, without marketplace commission.

Sway gives you a branded booking page from day one. Individual plans and above can embed booking on an existing website, sync to Google or Apple Calendar, and send automated reminders.
