Many community yoga studio owners reach a point where they feel like they are doing everything.

Teaching classes.
Answering emails.
Posting on social media.
Processing refunds.
Updating schedules.
Managing teachers.

Running a community yoga studio requires wearing a lot of hats, especially in the early stages. But as the studio grows, the owner’s role needs to evolve too.

In this solo episode, Michael Jay shares a simple exercise he uses with community yoga studio owners to help them understand exactly what work is happening inside their business before they hire help.

The process starts by documenting every task happening inside the yoga studio for one full week. From there, those tasks are organized into categories like marketing, administration, operations, and community building.

Once everything is visible, it becomes much easier to see what the owner should keep doing, what should be delegated, and what tasks could even be outsourced.

For many community yoga studio owners, this exercise reveals the exact role the studio needs next — whether that’s an assistant manager, an operations administrator, or project-based support.

When the right people are handling the right work, the owner can focus on leadership, marketing, and strengthening the community inside the yoga studio.

If you’re feeling stretched running your community yoga studio, this episode offers a simple framework to bring clarity, build support, and move the business forward.
