Flying Tree Yoga required a simple method to keep classes organised, take attendance quickly, and provide members with an easier way to stay connected with the studio.
These are small parts of the day, but they occur repeatedly. Staff need to know which classes are running, who attended, and what information members require before and after class.
When those steps are located in different places, the studio team ends up doing more checking and updating than necessary.
The challenge: classes create small jobs all day
Running the class itself is only one part of the work.
The studio also has to keep the schedule clear, ensure staff know what is happening, record who attends, and provide members with the information they need.
- Class dates and times
- Instructor schedules
- Class availability
- Member attendance
- Quick check-in
- Attendance history
- Member access
- Studio information
If attendance has to be written down and entered again later, the same class creates work twice.
If members have to contact staff for simple information, those questions also divert the team from teaching and assisting people at the studio.
The solution: connect the class before, during, and after it happens
Booking Ninjas set up three main components for Flying Tree Yoga: Class Scheduling, Attendance Tracking, and the Member Portal.
Together, they create a much simpler class flow.
The studio keeps class times, instructors, and the planned session in one schedule.
The member-facing experience provides individuals with a clear place to access the information shared with them.
Staff can record attendance through the app while the class is happening.
The attendance remains connected to the same studio data instead of becoming another list to enter later.
How the Flying Tree Yoga setup solved the daily problems
| Studio need | Booking Ninjas setup | What became easier |
|---|---|---|
| Keep classes organised | Class Scheduling | The studio has one place to keep the class schedule, session details, instructors, and availability organised. |
| Record who attended | App Attendance | Staff can record attendance as part of the class instead of writing it down and rebuilding the record later. |
| Give members easier access | Member Portal | Members have their own place to access the studio information and member-facing tools Flying Tree Yoga chooses to provide. |
Attendance can happen while the class is happening
This is one of the most practical improvements in the setup.
Attendance should not become a second job after the class is over.
With app-based attendance, the team can record who is present while working with the class instead of maintaining a separate paper or spreadsheet list to update later.
That eliminates one repeated step from every session.
Across a busy class schedule, those small saved steps accumulate and provide staff with more time for the individuals in front of them.
Members get their own place too
The staff side is only half of the experience.
Flying Tree Yoga also has a Member Portal, giving members their own space within the setup instead of making the studio team the only way to access useful information.
The portal can display the member-facing information and actions Flying Tree Yoga chooses to make available.
This keeps a simple idea at the centre of the setup: staff have the tools they need to run the studio, while members have a separate experience tailored for them.
Booking Ninjas explains the wider portal model in What Is a Member Portal?
The studio gets a setup made around its own classes
Flying Tree Yoga does not need a massive system full of tools it never uses.
Its useful setup is much simpler: organise classes, take attendance easily, and provide members with a good place to interact with the studio.
The class schedule, attendance process, users, and member-facing experience can align with how Flying Tree Yoga actually operates.
Booking Ninjas provides the Salesforce foundation and the tools beneath it, but Flying Tree Yoga still determines how the studio experience should function.
What became easier for Flying Tree Yoga
Staff have one regular place to manage when classes occur and who is running them.
Attendance can be recorded through the app instead of being written down and entered again later.
The studio does not need a separate attendance trail sitting outside the main system.
Members have their own portal rather than relying on staff for every interaction with the system.
The class routine can transition from schedule to attendance without staff having to rebuild the same information between steps.
The team can focus more on teaching, welcoming members, and building the community around each class.
Start with what the studio actually needs
Flying Tree Yoga is also a good example of why every Booking Ninjas setup does not need to look the same.
For this studio, Class Scheduling, App Attendance, and Member Portal address the main daily workflow.
If the operation requires more later, the same Salesforce-based platform can expand into booking, payments, memberships, reporting, communication, or other apps without making Flying Tree Yoga start again with another disconnected system.
However, those additional modules do not need to be added before they address a real problem.
