What size yoga studio do you typically consult with?

Rachel and Eric work with studios of all sizes, from single-teacher operations just getting started to multi-location businesses looking to scale. The work is the same: understand where you are, where you want to go, and build a clear path between them. Whether you have 10 students or 1,000, the fundamentals of a healthy studio are the same.

What does a consulting engagement look like?

It starts with a conversation. From there, engagements are typically structured around a defined scope: curriculum design, business model review, marketing strategy, teacher retention, or leadership development. Some clients engage for a single intensive session; others work with Rachel and Eric on an ongoing monthly basis.

Do you offer remote consulting?

Yes. The majority of consulting work happens remotely via video call, which allows Rachel and Eric to work with studio owners across the US and internationally. When in-person work is valuable (workshops, retreats, immersive reviews), it can be arranged separately.

What results can studios expect?

That depends entirely on the starting point and the work. Common outcomes include: a clearer brand and marketing message, a more sustainable curriculum structure, better teacher retention, improved enrollment systems for YTT programs, and founders who feel less burned out and more in control. Rachel and Eric bring nearly two decades of real-world studio experience, not theory.

How is YogaSoul's consulting different from generic business coaching?

Rachel and Eric have built and run a yoga school for nearly two decades. They know the specific dynamics of yoga as a business: seasonality, teacher relationships, lineage and brand authenticity, the tension between growth and intimacy. They are not generalist coaches who have adapted their frameworks to yoga. They built their framework inside yoga.

Rating: 5

Honest, specific strategy for your studio, from two people who’ve actually run one.

Running a yoga studio is harder than it looks from the outside, and most studio owners carry that weight quietly for years, wondering what they’re missing, whether the model is broken, or whether asking for help means admitting they failed. Most business consultants have never done it. Rachel and Eric have. They built Centered City Yoga into the largest yoga studio in Utah, with more than 50 teachers on the schedule, and sold it in 2025. They bring that directly to your situation. Whether you’re just opening your doors or managing multiple locations, the guidance here is honest, specific, and built around what you need.

Our Expertise

What changes once the
backend actually works.

From startup to scale-up, every challenge a yoga business faces has a solution. Here’s where owners consistently find the most traction.

🏠

You open strong, or grow without breaking

Launching or expanding with a real foundation under you: the right space, legal structure, pricing, and strategy so you don’t have to rebuild what you got wrong in year one.

⚙

Your backend stops costing you students

Scheduling, software, staffing structures, financial systems, the invisible machinery that either creates friction for every person who walks in, or makes everything feel effortless.

🎓

Your programs attract the right students

YTT and workshop offerings designed to fill, generate real revenue, honor the tradition, and build the kind of graduates who stay loyal to your school.

📢

You build a community, not just a client list

Marketing and retention strategies rooted in authenticity, social, email, referral, community events, that reflect your studio’s soul and keep students connected.

👥

Your best teachers stop leaving

Culture, compensation structures, and development paths that make your teachers as invested in your studio as you are, because you’ve made it worth staying.

🤝

You stop making the hard calls alone

Ongoing access to Rachel and Eric as the trusted advisors you can actually call, for the decisions that don’t have an obvious answer and can’t wait for a quarterly check-in.

Your Mentors

Meet Rachel & Eric

Husband and wife in life and business. Together they bring business strategy from two people who ran a studio, not just advised on one.

Yoga & Studio Strategy

Rachel Cieslewicz

C-IAYTWYF Grandmaster

Rachel has run the numbers at 2am, made the hard calls about staff and programming, and sat with the gap between the studio she imagined and the one she had. She consults from that place, not from a framework.

Rachel spent a decade building and running Centered City Yoga in Salt Lake City, the largest yoga studio in Utah, with more than 50 teachers on the schedule. She sold it in 2025. Not a decade ago. Last year. She knows what it currently takes to attract students who stay, and what quietly drains a studio that looks fine from the outside: the staffing decisions that didn’t go as planned, the programming changes that worked, the hard years that taught more than the good ones. She carries all of it into every engagement.

Business Systems & Operations

Eric Martin

Co-FounderWYF GrandmasterBuilt a 50+ Teacher Backend

Studios fail for the reasons you would expect: teaching that doesn’t hold students, a community that never quite forms. They also fail for one nobody warns you about. The backend quietly breaks down, and by the time it shows up in your numbers you have been bleeding for a year. Eric built the systems side of Centered City Yoga, where the schedule carried more than 50 teachers, and of YogaSoul. He has spent his career doing the same work at a scale where the mistakes cost considerably more.

He knows which operational choices seem fine until they don’t: the scheduling software that creates invisible friction, the pricing model that attracts the wrong students, the staffing structure that works at 200 students and collapses at 400. His specialty is finding those pressure points before they find you, and building the infrastructure that lets a good studio scale.

From Studio Owners

What studio
owners say.

Rachel and Eric bring something most consultants can’t, they’ve actually done the work. Their guidance is honest and practical.

They helped us see clearly what was holding us back and gave us a real roadmap. Our studio is in a completely different place than it was a year ago.

I was hesitant to ask for help, but Rachel and Eric made the process feel collaborative, not clinical. I finally feel like I know where my studio is going.

We’d been spinning our wheels for two years. One conversation with Rachel and Eric gave us more clarity than everything we’d tried before.

We were six months from opening and completely overwhelmed. Rachel and Eric helped us see exactly what mattered and what didn’t. We opened on time, on budget, and with a real plan.

I’d been running my studio for four years and felt like I’d hit a ceiling. One conversation with Rachel reframed everything. Three months later we were profitable for the first time.

Another year running your studio on instinct is another year of avoidable mistakes, the kind Rachel and Eric have already paid the tuition on so you don’t have to.
