Bookings for yoga and pilates studios: places, teachers and private sessions

A studio might offer a group pilates class at 18:00 and a private session with the same instructor. If both appear as available times, a clash occurs even when the calendar looks tidy. A class has a scheduled session and a capacity, while a private appointment reserves the professional’s time exclusively. People booking need to see that distinction.

Three decisions before opening class bookings

Define the actual number of participants per room, the teacher for each class and the time needed between sessions. Separate gentle yoga, vinyasa, mat pilates and individual sessions if their preparation or duration differs. Explain the level, required equipment and arrival time for a first visit. Students should know whether the format and level suit them before booking a place.

Booking a class or a private session

For a class, a student chooses a published session and books one of its available places. For a private session, they choose a service, a professional and a compatible time slot. Feny keeps both journeys within the business, connecting calendar, catalogue and client details. The public page presents the appropriate choice while the studio checks attendance and upcoming appointments from its workspace.

Where it helps more than a link to an empty calendar

Test the last available place

Create a small-capacity test class and a private session with the same instructor at a different time. Book all the places from a phone and check that no extra place or conflicting private appointment becomes available. Then publish the final schedule and share the link. This test is more useful than importing an entire term’s classes at once.
