Yoga Teacher Scheduling App: Timetable Slots, Cover by Style and Desk Shifts

Yoga teachers are scheduled to classes on a timetable, not to shifts, and the hard part is finding cover at 6am for a hot class. Describe your timetable, teachers and the styles each one can teach, and Mythex builds a scheduling app where the team sees who teaches what and cover requests go only to people who can take them.

Who it's for

Studios with a mix of employed and freelance teachers who arrange cover in a group chat, where the request for a prenatal class reaches twelve people and the three who are qualified see it last.

What you can build

Teachers assigned to weekly timetable classes
Qualifications per style: hot, prenatal, yin, aerial
Cover requests sent only to qualified teachers
Front desk shifts around the busiest classes
Term-by-term timetable changes
Monthly classes taught per teacher for pay

Schedule classes, not shifts

A teacher's week is a set of recurring classes: Monday 7am vinyasa, Thursday 6pm yin. Build the schedule as the timetable with a teacher on each slot, repeating each week until the term changes. Front desk and cleaning are the only true shifts, and they should follow the timetable: the desk needs someone thirty minutes before the busiest classes, not across a flat nine-to-five.

A cover list by style

Record which styles each teacher is trained and insured to teach. When a teacher marks themselves unavailable, the app sends the cover request only to qualified teachers who are free at that time, and the first to accept takes the class. Students booked into that class can then be told about the change of teacher. This one feature is usually worth building the app for.

Availability and holidays

Freelance teachers often teach at several studios. Ask them to confirm availability for the next term before the timetable is published, and to request holidays in the app so cover is arranged ahead. Mistake to avoid: publishing the term timetable before teachers confirm, then reshuffling in week two.

Classes taught and pay

Because each class records who actually taught it, including cover, the app can count classes taught and, if bookings are in the same database, students per class. That makes the monthly pay calculation for per-class or per-student rates a report, not an evening with a calculator.

A prompt to start from

Build a teacher scheduling app for my yoga studio. Assign a teacher to each weekly timetable class, record the styles each teacher is qualified for, and when a teacher marks unavailable, send a cover request only to qualified teachers who are free; the first to accept gets the class. Add front desk shifts around peak classes, holiday requests, and a monthly report of classes taught per teacher.

Questions

Can it find cover when a teacher is ill?

Yes. The app sends a cover request to teachers qualified for that style and free at that time, and assigns the first one to accept.

Can teachers see their schedule on their phones?

Yes, in any phone browser. On Pro, Mythex can also turn the app into Android and iPhone apps that open your published app.

Can it calculate teacher pay?

It can count classes taught per teacher, including cover, and students per class if bookings are in the same app. Describe your pay rates and it produces the monthly figures.

Do I need to code?

No. You describe how your studio schedules teachers and change it by chatting.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Free needs no credit card and gives daily credits to build and publish. Pro is $25/month.
