For Yoga & Pilates Instructors

YOUR CLASSES. YOUR STUDENTS.
YOUR SCHEDULE.

You built your reputation. Your students show up for you. So why does the studio own the relationship and keep most of the money? NForge lets you build your own class schedule, collect pre-payments, and teach via HD video to students anywhere. Completely free.

The problem

SOUND FAMILIAR?

The studio owns your students

You teach the class. You build the rapport. Students show up because of you. But the studio holds the booking list, collects the payments, and keeps 40-70% of the fee. If you leave, the students stay with the studio. You have no email list, no direct contact, no way to take your community with you.

Seasonal attendance drops crush your income

January is packed. February drops. Summer is unpredictable. December is dead. Your income follows attendance, and attendance follows seasons, weather, and holidays. One bad month takes weeks to recover from. There is no buffer.

Class cancellations waste your time

You arrive at the studio. Two students showed up out of ten registered. The studio cancels the class. You drove 30 minutes for nothing and you're not paid. This happens regularly, especially for off-peak time slots. Without pre-payment, there's no commitment and no compensation for your time.

Online classes need a tech stack you don't have

You want to offer an online morning flow or an evening yin session. But that means a Zoom subscription ($13-22/month), a booking form, a payment link, and a way to email joining instructions. Four tools for one class. The complexity kills the idea.

Your Instagram following doesn't pay the bills

You have 5,000 or 15,000 followers. They watch your stories. They like your posts. But converting followers into paying students requires a direct path from "I want to attend" to "I have booked and paid." Without a simple booking and payment system linked to your content, your audience stays an audience, not a revenue stream.

The solution

HOW NFORGE FIXES THIS

BUILD YOUR OWN CLASS SCHEDULE. OWN YOUR STUDENTS.

Create your class schedule in NForge with five recurrence patterns. Your classes, your times, your pricing, your capacity limits. Students book directly with you, pay you, and you own the relationship. Every booking gives you a student profile. Build a community that belongs to you, not a studio.

5 scheduling patterns (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, custom)
Students book and pay directly with you
You own every student contact and booking record
Set your own pricing and class capacity
Automated reminders reduce no-shows

PRE-PAID BOOKINGS ELIMINATE CANCELLATIONS

When a student books your class, they pay upfront. The spot is secured before the class starts. Students who have paid show up. Payments are processed by Stripe and reach your bank within 24 hours.

Payment collected at the point of booking
Students commit with their wallet, not a "maybe"

HOW PRIYA BUILT AN INDEPENDENT YOGA BUSINESS IN 4 MONTHS

Priya taught yoga at three studios across South London. She taught 10 classes a week, drove between locations, and kept about 35% of the class fees after the studios took their share. She had no direct student contact list.

In January, Priya set up NForge and created her own schedule: Vinyasa flow on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings (online). Yin yoga on Tuesday and Thursday evenings (online). She kept her weekend in-person classes at one studio while she built her online base. She shared her NForge booking links on Instagram. Within the first week, 22 students booked classes. They paid at booking. Pre-paid. Committed.

By February, her online classes were averaging 15-20 students each. Her Wednesday morning Vinyasa flow hit 28 students, more than any studio class she'd ever taught. Students from Manchester, Edinburgh, and Dublin were attending. People she would never have reached from a studio in Peckham. Every single one paid upfront. Zero no-shows.

In March, Priya dropped two of her three studio commitments. The studio income she lost (GBP 600/month after the studio's cut) was replaced by online income (GBP 2,400/month through NForge). She kept one Saturday morning in-person class for the community energy. She teaches fewer hours, earns more, and owns her business.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does NForge work for yoga and pilates classes?

Yes. NForge works for any class format: yoga, pilates, breathwork, meditation, barre, and more. Schedule your classes, accept pre-paid bookings, and host sessions via HD video or manage in-person attendance.

Can I set a small class size for an intimate experience?

Yes. You control the capacity for each class. Set it at 8 for a small group. Set it at 40 for a large flow. Each class can have its own capacity, pricing, and schedule.

How do students join an online class?

Students receive a joining link via email after booking. At class time, they click the link and join in their browser. They don't need to download an app, create an account, or deal with any technical setup. If they can open an email, they can attend your class.

Can I use NForge alongside my studio teaching?

Yes. Many instructors use NForge for their independent online classes while continuing to teach at studios. There are no contracts, no exclusivity requirements. Use NForge for your own classes and keep your studio commitments separately.

How does the NForge marketplace help me get students?

When you create a class, it gets a public listing page on NForge. Students searching for yoga or pilates classes (locally or online) can discover your classes, view the schedule and pricing, and book directly. You also get a public coach profile — your bio, specialities, classes, and anything you sell in one page — plus a listing in the searchable coach directory. It's a discovery channel that works without paid advertising.

Can I link my NForge classes from Instagram?

Yes. Each class has its own shareable booking link. Put it in your Instagram bio, share it in stories, or include it in posts. Students tap the link, see the class details, and book with payment in a few taps.

STILL PAYING MONTHLY
FOR SOFTWARE?

Every month you spend on platform subscriptions is money out of your pocket. NForge has classes online and in person, AI-written programmes, client management, automated payments, and a marketplace that sends new clients your way. It costs you nothing until a client pays you.
