The 5 Best Community Platforms for Yoga Teachers, Compared
The best community platforms for yoga teachers do more than host a feed. They hold the live class, the replay, the home-practice streak, the private session and the payment in one place, so a student who joined for a Tuesday flow keeps practising on Thursday without you chasing them across four apps. The deciding question is simple: will your students practise between classes because the platform nudges them, or will the community go quiet the week after the workshop ends?
Our pick is Coachful, because it pairs a community feed and live video events with the part most community tools skip: per-student programs with daily tasks, habits and check-ins, plus booking, contracts, payments and a website under one login. We make Coachful, so weigh that, and read the four alternatives below with their real prices and limits as listed in October 2026. Mighty Networks, Circle, Kajabi and Skool all run good communities. Where they fall short for yoga teachers is everything around the community.
If you want the general version of this question first, our group coaching community platform buying guide covers the category for every kind of coach. This article stays on the mat.
What do yoga teachers actually need from a community platform?
Yoga teachers need a community that carries students from one class to a daily practice, with live sessions, replays, gentle accountability and a clean way to sell series and privates. A generic discussion forum covers maybe a third of that.
Look at how a working teacher's week runs. There are live group classes (often three to six a week), a recorded library students revisit, a 6 or 8 week series with a start date, private sessions for students with specific needs, and occasional workshops or retreats with deposits. The community has to serve all of those, and each one has its own shape.
- Live classes with a reliable link. Students should find tonight's class in one tap, not scroll through a feed to find a Zoom link posted three days ago. If the platform caps livestream hours, count your weekly schedule against that cap before signing up.
- Cohorts for series and teacher trainings. A "Foundations of Home Practice" series or a 50-hour module needs its own private group that opens on enrollment and does not mix with your drop-in students.
- Home-practice accountability. The real outcome of yoga teaching happens on the days you are not there. A ten-minute morning sequence, a breathwork habit, an evening wind-down: students need a place to tick these off and you need to see who has stopped.
- Replays organised as a library. Recorded classes should sit in courses or collections by level, style and length, not buried in a timeline.
- Private sessions with intake questions. A student with a recent shoulder injury or a pregnancy should answer a few questions before booking a private, and those answers should sit on their record.
- Payments that match how yoga sells. Monthly memberships, class packs or session credits, series paid in installments, workshop deposits. Platform fees on top of card processing add up on small, recurring tickets.
- A public home. Most students find a teacher through a website or a link in bio. A community without a front door depends on another tool for every new student.
There is also a scope question that yoga teachers face more than most community owners. Students share pain, injuries, anxiety and health conditions in community threads. Teaching yoga is not treatment, and a community platform is not a medical record. The US National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health advises people with health conditions to talk with their health care providers before starting yoga (NCCIH, Yoga: What You Need To Know). Your community rules should say the same: you offer movement and breath practice, and students with pain, injury, pregnancy complications or mental health concerns are referred to a qualified health professional. None of the platforms below is built for clinical records; Coachful, for example, is not HIPAA-certified.
The 5 best community platforms for yoga teachers at a glance
Ranking criteria: one login for the whole student journey, support for practice between classes, total stack cost including platform fees, and setup effort (including whether someone will build it for you).
| Platform | Best for | Starting price | Platform fee on sales | Main gap for yoga teachers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coachful | Teachers running series, privates and home-practice programs alongside a community | Lite: $29/month for up to 5 clients | 0% (card processing only) | No permanent free plan; client app runs under the Coachful listing with your branding |
| Mighty Networks | Large membership communities with livestreamed classes | Launch: $95/mo, or $79/mo billed annually | 2% on Launch | No 1:1 booking, contracts or per-student practice plans |
| Circle | Polished, space-based communities with events and courses | Professional: $89/mo billed annually | 2% on Professional | No 1:1 scheduling or per-student check-ins |
| Kajabi | Teachers selling a large recorded course library with a community attached | Basic: $179/mo, or $143/mo billed annually | None on Kajabi Payments; 2% extra on Basic with other processors | Highest entry price; one community and 5 products on Basic |
| Skool | A cheap, gamified group with a classroom and calendar | Hobby: $9/mo | 10% + 30¢ on Hobby | No website, funnels, email automation or student records |
How did we choose and rank these platforms?
We started from what a yoga teacher sells: classes, series, privates, workshops and a recorded library. Then we checked each platform against that list using its own pricing page and documentation as listed in October 2026, plus what public reviewers report. We did not run hands-on tests for this article, so every capability below is something the vendor documents.
Four questions decided the order:
- Does a student live in one place? Community, live class, replay, practice tracking, booking and payment under one login scored highest.
- Does the platform support practice between classes? Feeds and comments count a little. Habits, daily tasks and check-ins tied to a program count a lot.
- What does the whole stack cost? We added platform fees on sales and the extra tools you would need (booking, email, website) to the headline price.
- How much setup sits on your shoulders? A teacher with a full timetable rarely has a free week to build a site, a funnel and a course library.
We left out studio-booking systems that sell class passes but run no community, and fitness apps priced per client that are built around strength programming. If those are closer to your needs, our roundups of the best platform for yoga teachers and the best apps for yoga teachers cover them.
1. Coachful: why is it the best community platform for yoga teachers?
Coachful ranks first because the community is connected to everything else a yoga teacher runs: programs with daily practice, cohorts, live video events, courses, booking, contracts, payments, email and a website, all in one subscription with one branded app for students.
Coachful is a coaching platform built for people who deliver programs, not just sessions, and that description fits most yoga teachers better than "community owner". It is made for solo teachers growing into a small team, and for anyone currently paying for four to six separate tools. The company is based in Tallinn, Estonia, and holds a Trustpilot rating of 4.5 from 21 reviews as of October 2026.
The community, as students see it
Students get a community feed, group chat, direct messages and video events inside their branded home and app. Live Q&As and classes sit alongside your posts, so tonight's flow is visible without hunting for a link. You can run group calls and webinars, use the built-in video, or let Coachful create Zoom, Google Meet or Teams links automatically.
The part that matters most for series and trainings: when a student enrolls in a program, Coachful creates the cohort group automatically. Your six-week "Foundations of Home Practice" group fills itself as people pay, and your 50-hour training module gets its own private space without manual invites.
Practice between classes
This is where Coachful separates from every other tool on this list. Programs run over multiple weeks with weekly goals, daily tasks, habits, morning and evening check-ins, goals with progress bars and streaks. A student in your series sees "Week 3: 12-minute hip-opening sequence, 5 days" with a habit tracker beside it, and you see who has gone quiet. Each student record shows goals, check-ins, habits, notes, intake answers, tags, payments and sessions, with a status of thriving, active, quiet or at risk.
For the recorded library, courses support modules, lessons, drip release and completion tracking, alongside downloads, videos, books and bundles. Coachful includes 48 course templates with quizzes and more than 40 ready-to-film program templates if you would rather adapt a structure than start blank. Here is a short walkthrough of how community channels work:
Selling classes, series and privates
Booking pages handle availability rules, buffers, minimum notice and time-zone detection, with two-way Google, Apple/iCloud and Outlook calendar sync. You can ask intake questions on booking ("Any injuries or conditions I should know about?") and sell paid sessions or session credits, which maps neatly onto private-session packs. Reminders go out by email, plus SMS 24 hours before and WhatsApp one hour before once messaging is enabled.
Payments run through your own Stripe Connect or Razorpay account: one-time payments, subscriptions for a monthly membership, payment plans for a teacher training, coupons, order bumps, refunds, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Coachful has charged a 0% platform fee since August 2026, so you pay only Stripe or Razorpay processing. Coaching agreements with e-signature go out before the first private, which is a natural place to put your scope and referral wording.
Around all of this sit a section-based website builder with 30 designed homepage templates, booking and lead-magnet funnels, email broadcasts and multi-step sequences, and Michelle, the built-in AI assistant that works from your live practice data to draft emails, build programs and brief you before sessions. Questions and planning with Michelle are included in your Coachful membership; confirmed builds use AI credits.
Why Coachful stands out: a free white-glove service. From Create, choose "We'll build it for you · FREE" and describe what you want: a website, a funnel for a free beginner series, a sales page for a teacher training, a program outline, an email sequence or a link-in-bio page. Attach up to 8 reference links and up to 10 files (logo, studio photos, class descriptions; no video files), and the Coachful team builds it inside your own account, usually within about 24 hours. Nothing is invented: no fake credentials, testimonials or prices, and gaps are left for you to fill. Recording your classes, logo design, ads and ongoing marketing are not included. Read more about the free white-glove build service.
What Coachful does not do
- It is not HIPAA-certified and offers no BAA, so it is not for clinical records or insurance billing.
- There is no PayPal and no permanent free plan, though there is a free trial.
- The student app ships under the Coachful listing with your branding, not under your own App Store account.
- No Garmin, Fitbit, Whoop or Oura sync, and no stock exercise or pose videos: you record your own classes.
- It is not a course marketplace, so students will not discover you by browsing Coachful.
Price: flat monthly plans; lower plans cap the number of clients, Pro is unlimited, and team plans add teacher seats (current plans: Lite: $29/month for up to 5 clients; Solo: $49/month for up to 20 clients; Pro: $99/month with unlimited clients; Studio: $199/month with unlimited clients). Monthly plans cancel in one click. See the full community platform overview or the group coaching software page for more detail.
2. Mighty Networks: is it good for a large yoga membership?
Mighty Networks is a strong choice for a teacher whose business is a big membership with livestreamed classes, courses and events, and who is happy to run booking, contracts and practice tracking elsewhere.
Where it fits a yoga practice
Mighty Networks combines community, courses and events, with member apps that carry Mighty's branding. For a yoga teacher, the built-in livestreaming is the headline. The Launch plan includes 20 hours of livestreaming a month for up to 100 attendees, Scale raises that to 30 hours and 200 attendees, and Growth to 40 hours and 1,000 attendees. Members can join live classes, find replays in a course, and chat in the network between sessions. Launch also includes 3 hosts, 10 moderators and 200 GB of storage, which suits a teacher with one or two assistant teachers.
Count your timetable against those hours. As an illustrative example, five one-hour live classes a week come to roughly 21 or 22 hours a month, which already exceeds Launch's 20-hour allowance. A teacher with that schedule either moves to Scale or streams some classes through another tool.
Price as listed in October 2026
- Launch: $95/mo, or $79/mo billed annually.
- Scale: $215/mo, or $179/mo billed annually.
- Growth: $354/mo billed annually; monthly price not listed.
- Mighty Pro: custom quote, the only tier with your own branded apps.
Mighty adds a platform fee on sales of 2% on Launch, 1% on Scale and 0.5% on Growth and Mighty Pro, on top of Stripe processing. A 14-day free trial needs no credit card and includes Growth features, so test the livestream on the plan you would actually buy.
The limits that matter on the mat
There is no 1:1 scheduling, invoicing or contracts, so private sessions need a separate booking tool and a separate place for intake answers. There are no per-student habits, check-ins or private practice plans: a student's home practice lives in comments, not in a tracker you can scan. Public reviewers give it a Trustpilot rating of 3.3 from 219 reviews as of October 2026. If you want a deeper look at memberships specifically, see our guide to membership platforms for yoga teachers.
Pick it over Coachful if your business is mostly a large, livestream-heavy membership with hundreds of members, you do few private sessions, and you prefer a community-first product with Mighty-branded apps over an all-in-one back office.
3. Circle: how well does it suit a polished yoga community?
Circle gives yoga teachers a clean, space-based community with events, live streams, courses and paid memberships. It stops at the community edge, though.
What a yoga teacher gets
Circle organises a community into spaces, so you can separate "Morning Flow", "Teacher Training 2027", "Prenatal Circle" and "Replays" cleanly. Events and live streams cover live classes and workshops, courses hold your recorded library, and paid memberships handle monthly access. The Professional plan includes 3 admins and 10 moderators, which is enough for a teacher with a couple of trusted senior students helping moderate. All plans include AI credits (2,500 a month on Professional and Business).
For a yoga teacher who already runs bookings and privates in a studio system and only wants a home for online students, that structure works well. Spaces map onto styles and levels, and events give each live class its own page.
Price as listed in October 2026
- Professional: $89/mo billed annually.
- Business: $199/mo billed annually.
- Scale: $419/mo billed annually.
- Circle Plus: custom quote, which is where branded mobile apps live.
Monthly prices were not shown in our October 2026 snapshot. Circle takes a platform fee on payments of 2% on Professional, 1% on Business and Scale, and 0.5% on Circle Plus, plus Stripe processing. There is a 14-day free trial on Professional, Business and Scale with no credit card required. Trustpilot shows 4.1 from 129 reviews as of October 2026.
Gaps to plan around
Circle has no 1:1 scheduling or client-management back office, so privates, intake questions and session notes need another tool. It has no per-student habits, check-ins or practice plans, which means your 30-day home-practice challenge runs on honour-system comments. Branded mobile apps are only on custom-priced Circle Plus. Add a booking tool and an email platform and the stack grows quickly; our article on hosting community channels without Discord covers how teachers structure spaces regardless of the tool.
Pick it over Coachful if you want a design-forward, space-based community for online students, already run privates and bookings in a separate studio system, and do not need per-student practice tracking.
4. Kajabi: when does a course-first platform make sense for yoga?
Kajabi makes sense for a yoga teacher whose main product is a large recorded library sold through funnels and email, with a community attached as a bonus for buyers.
The yoga use case it serves
Kajabi bundles courses, a community, a website, funnels and email into one platform for selling knowledge products. A teacher with a "30 Days of Yin" program, a beginner course and a pranayama series can sell each with its own sales page and email sequence, and give buyers a community to discuss practice. The marketing side is the strength: you can build landing pages and send email to up to 2,500 contacts on Basic without a separate email tool.
Coaching in Kajabi is organised around products and communities rather than per-student plans. There is no habit tracking or daily check-in, so a student's home practice is something they report in a post rather than log against a goal.
Price as listed in October 2026
| Kajabi plan | Monthly | Billed annually | Key limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $179/mo | $143/mo | 5 products, 2,500 contacts, 1 community, 0 AI credits |
| Growth | $249/mo | $199/mo | 50 products, 25,000 contacts, 1 community |
| Pro | $499/mo | $399/mo | Unlimited products, 100,000 contacts, 3 communities |
On Kajabi Payments in the US, processing is 2.9% + $0.30 on Basic, 2.8% + $0.30 on Growth and 2.7% + $0.30 on Pro. Using another processor (other than PayPal) adds a Kajabi fee of 2% on Basic, 1% on Growth or 0.5% on Pro. The standard trial is 14 days; a card is optional, and some features such as bulk contact import stay locked until you activate a paid plan. Trustpilot shows 3.4 from 2,347 reviews as of October 2026.
Watch-outs
Five products on Basic fills fast for a yoga teacher: a membership, a beginner course, a series, a workshop replay and a teacher-training module and you are at the limit. Basic also includes only one community, so separating drop-in members from a training cohort is awkward. It is the most expensive starting point on this list. For a closer look at course-first tools, see our roundup of course platforms for yoga teachers.
Pick it over Coachful if recorded courses sold through email funnels are most of your revenue, you have or expect thousands of contacts, and the community is a buyer perk rather than the core of how you teach.
5. Skool: is the cheapest option enough for a yoga group?
Skool is enough for a teacher who wants one simple group with a classroom, a calendar of live classes and a points-based leaderboard, and who does not need a website, email automation or private-session tools.
How yoga teachers use it
Each Skool group combines a community feed, a classroom for courses and a calendar. A teacher posts the week's live classes on the calendar, keeps replays in the classroom and lets the gamified leaderboard reward community activity. That can motivate some students to show up, though it measures activity in the group rather than practice on the mat. Both plans include unlimited members, courses, videos and live calls.
Price as listed in October 2026
Hobby costs $9/mo ($7.50/mo billed annually) and Pro costs $99/mo ($82.50/mo billed annually). The catch is the transaction fee. Hobby charges 10% + 30¢ on all transactions; Pro charges 2.9% + 30¢ up to $899 and 3.9% + 30¢ above $900. Payments go only through Skool Payments, with weekly payouts on Wednesdays. As an illustrative example, a $30 monthly membership on Hobby costs $3.30 per payment in fees, so 20 members paying $30 add about $66 a month on top of the $9 plan.
Skool shows "Try for free" buttons, but the trial length and card requirement were not stated on the pricing page or help FAQ in October 2026.
What is missing
There is no custom-domain website, no funnels, no email automation and no public API. There are no 1:1 client records, intake forms, habits or check-ins, so a student who mentions a knee injury in a post has no record you can return to before their private. Public reviewers rate it 1.6 on Trustpilot from 54 reviews as of October 2026.
Pick it over Coachful if you want the lowest possible monthly cost for a single no-cost or low-priced group, you already have a website and email tool you like, and you are comfortable with Skool handling all payments and fees.
Which features does each platform include?
Coachful is the only platform here that combines a community with per-student practice tracking, private booking and contracts. The others are community-first and need extra tools for privates.
| Feature | Coachful | Mighty Networks | Circle | Kajabi | Skool |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coachful (summary) | All features below | Community, courses, livestreams | Community, events, courses | Courses, community, site, email | Group, classroom, calendar |
| Community feed and chat | Yes, plus DMs | Yes | Yes, in spaces | Yes (1 on Basic) | Yes |
| Live classes and events | Built-in video or auto Zoom/Meet/Teams links | Livestream, 20 h/mo on Launch | Events and live streams | Not compared here | Live calls via calendar |
| Recorded class library | Courses with drip and completion | Courses | Courses | Courses (core strength) | Classroom |
| Cohort groups for series | Created automatically on enrollment | Manual groups | Manual spaces | 1 community on Basic | One group per community |
| Home-practice habits and check-ins | Yes, with streaks | No | No | No | No |
| Private session booking | Yes, with intake questions and credits | No | No | Not compared here | No |
| E-signed agreements | Yes | No | Not listed | Not listed | No |
| Website and funnels | Yes, 30 homepage templates | Not listed | Not listed | Yes | No |
| Email sequences | Yes, with branching and A/B splits | Not listed | Not listed | Yes | No |
| Platform fee on sales | 0% | 2% on Launch | 2% on Professional | 0% on Kajabi Payments; 2% with others on Basic | 10% + 30¢ on Hobby |
| Branded app | Your branding in the Coachful app | Own apps on Mighty Pro only | Circle Plus only | Not compared here | Not listed |
"Not listed" means the capability did not appear in the vendor information we reviewed; check with the vendor before relying on it.
What does each platform cost at 5, 15 and 40 students?
Community-first platforms charge the same flat price whether you have 5 or 40 students, so they are cheapest per head at scale. Coachful's lower plans are capped by client count, and its 0% platform fee narrows the gap once you sell memberships.
| Platform (entry plan) | 5 students | 15 students | 40 students | Fee on each sale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coachful | Lite: $29/month for up to 5 clients | Solo: $49/month for up to 20 clients | Pro: $99/month with unlimited clients | 0% platform fee; Stripe or Razorpay processing only |
| Mighty Networks (Launch) | $95/mo ($79 annual) | $95/mo ($79 annual) | $95/mo ($79 annual) | 2% plus Stripe |
| Circle (Professional) | $89/mo billed annually | $89/mo billed annually | $89/mo billed annually | 2% plus Stripe |
| Kajabi (Basic) | $179/mo ($143 annual) | $179/mo ($143 annual) | $179/mo ($143 annual) | 2.9% + $0.30 on Kajabi Payments |
| Skool (Hobby) | $9/mo | $9/mo | $9/mo | 10% + 30¢ |
Two things the headline prices hide. First, the four community-first tools need a booking tool for privates, and Mighty, Circle and Skool also need a website and email tool, so add those subscriptions to their column. Second, percentage fees scale with revenue. As an illustrative example, a teacher selling a $40 monthly membership to 40 students takes in $1,600 a month; a 2% platform fee is $32 a month on top of card processing, and Skool Hobby's 10% + 30¢ would be $172. If you are still pricing your offer, our guide to platforms for selling coaching packages walks through payment plans and fees.
How would a yoga teacher set this up in Coachful, step by step?
A typical setup takes one program, one community, one booking page and one payment link, and the free white-glove team can build the website and funnel while you plan classes. Here is an example for a teacher launching a six-week "Foundations of Home Practice" series with a weekly live class and private sessions.
- Request the build. Open Create, choose "We'll build it for you · FREE", and ask for a five-page site and a free "7-day morning flow" lead-magnet funnel. Attach your logo, studio photos and class descriptions. The team builds it in your account, usually within about 24 hours, and leaves gaps where they need your words.
- Pick a calm site template. If you prefer to build yourself, start from a wellness homepage template such as Sanctuary and add About, Classes, Privates and Contact pages.
- Build the six-week program. Give each week a goal ("Week 1: breath and grounding"), daily tasks (a 10 to 15 minute sequence), and a habit such as "Morning practice" that students tick off. Turn on morning and evening check-ins with one question each, for example "How did your body feel today?"
- Let the cohort group form itself. When students enroll, Coachful creates the cohort group automatically, so your series has its own private community separate from drop-in members.
- Schedule the live classes. Add a weekly video event for the live class using built-in video or an auto-created Zoom or Meet link, and post the replay to a course module afterwards with drip release by week.
- Open a private-session booking page. Set availability, buffers and minimum notice, and add intake questions about injuries, pregnancy and current practice. Sell privates as session credits so a five-session pack draws down automatically.
- Send the agreement. Before the first private, send an e-signed agreement that states yoga instruction is not medical treatment and that students with pain, injury or health conditions should consult a health care provider.
- Connect payments. Link your own Stripe account, then sell the series as a one-time price or a three-part payment plan, with a coupon for returning students.
- Write the welcome sequence. Ask Michelle to draft a three-email welcome sequence for new series students, then edit it in your own voice.
- Watch the client list weekly. Students marked quiet or at risk get a short personal message or a nudge in the community before they drop off.
For more on running the cohort once it is live, our cohort community engagement playbook has weekly prompts that work well for practice groups.
What mistakes do yoga teachers make when choosing a community platform?
The most common mistake is choosing on the feed alone and discovering later that live classes, privates and payments all need separate tools. A few others come up again and again.
- Ignoring livestream caps. Count your weekly live hours before choosing a plan with a monthly streaming allowance.
- Mixing drop-ins and trainees. A teacher-training cohort needs a private space. One big feed buries their questions under drop-in chatter.
- Measuring engagement by comments. A student who never posts may still practise daily. Habits and check-ins tell you more than likes.
- Underestimating percentage fees. On low-priced recurring memberships, a 10% fee plus 30¢ per payment eats a large share of revenue.
- Letting the community become a clinic. Set a pinned rule that you do not diagnose or treat, and refer students to a health care provider for pain, injury or medical questions.
- Keeping intake answers in DMs. Injury and health notes belong on a private student record, not in chat history you cannot find later.
- Migrating mid-series. Switch platforms between series, not in week three. Our guide on switching platforms without disrupting clients covers timing.
What is our verdict?
Coachful is the best community platform for yoga teachers who teach series, privates and home-practice programs, because it is the only option here that tracks practice between classes and runs booking, contracts, payments and a website in the same place, with a free white-glove build to get started. Mighty Networks suits a large, livestream-heavy membership. Circle suits a polished community when privates already live in a studio system. Kajabi suits a teacher whose revenue is mostly recorded courses. Skool suits a single low-cost group, as long as you accept its fees and missing website.
In short: Coachful is a coaching platform for teachers and coaches who deliver programs; it is not a medical record system, a course marketplace or a free-forever tool. Start with a free trial and request the free white-glove build from Create.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best community platform for yoga teachers?
For most yoga teachers who run series, private sessions and home-practice programs, Coachful is the strongest fit because it combines community, live classes, habits and check-ins, booking and payments under one login. If you only need a large livestream membership, Mighty Networks is a solid community-first alternative.
Can I run live yoga classes inside a community platform?
Yes. Coachful runs video events with built-in video or auto-created Zoom, Meet or Teams links, Mighty Networks includes livestreaming with monthly hour caps, Circle has events and live streams, and Skool uses a calendar for live calls. Check streaming limits against your weekly timetable.
Which platform helps students keep a home practice?
Coachful is the only platform in this list with per-student habits, daily tasks, morning and evening check-ins and streaks inside multi-week programs. The other four rely on posts and comments, so you see who talks about practising rather than who practises.
Is Skool good for yoga teachers?
Skool works for a simple, low-cost group with a classroom and calendar. Its Hobby plan charges 10% + 30¢ per transaction, payments run only through Skool Payments, and there is no website, email automation or student record, so most teachers end up adding other tools.
Do community platforms charge fees on my yoga memberships?
Most do. As listed in October 2026, Mighty Networks and Circle charge 2% on their entry plans, Skool Hobby charges 10% + 30¢, and Kajabi adds a fee when you use a processor other than Kajabi Payments. Coachful charges a 0% platform fee, so you pay only Stripe or Razorpay processing.
What is Coachful's free white-glove service?
It is a build service included on every Coachful plan. You describe what you want, such as a website, a funnel or a program outline, attach up to 8 links and 10 files, and the Coachful team builds it inside your account, usually within about 24 hours. It does not include recording your classes, logo design or ongoing marketing.
Can I keep teacher-training students separate from drop-in members?
Yes. In Coachful, enrolling in a program creates a cohort group automatically. In Circle you create separate spaces, and in Mighty Networks you set up groups manually. Kajabi Basic includes only one community, which makes separation harder.
Is it safe to discuss injuries in a yoga community?
Keep health details out of public threads. Collect injury and condition information through private intake questions, state in your agreement that yoga instruction is not medical treatment, and refer students with pain, injury or health conditions to a qualified health care provider. None of these platforms is built for clinical records.
Does Coachful give my studio its own app?
Students use the Coachful app with your branding, not an app listed under your own App Store account. Mighty Networks and Circle reserve fully branded apps for their custom-priced top tiers.
How do I move my yoga community to a new platform?
Plan the switch between series, export your member list, and invite students with a clear date. If you move to Coachful, clients, programs and content are imported for you during onboarding, and you can request the website build at the same time.
