Yoga Studio Class Setup Checklist

Running a successful yoga class requires meticulous preparation beyond just knowing your flow sequence. From the moment you unlock the studio door to when students arrive on their mats, there's a crucial setup window that sets the tone for the entire practice.

This Yoga Studio Class Setup Checklist is designed for yoga instructors, studio owners, and class assistants who want to ensure every session starts with professional consistency. Whether you're teaching vinyasa, restorative, hot yoga, or specialty classes, this checklist helps you create the perfect environment for mindful movement.

What this checklist covers

The template walks you through all essential pre-class tasks: checking room temperature and humidity controls, distributing props like blocks, straps, bolsters and blankets, cueing up your carefully selected playlist, verifying lighting and aromatherapy settings, and capturing student attendance with any modifications or injuries to note.

By digitising this process with Paperform, you can quickly complete the checklist on your phone or tablet before class, track patterns over time (like which props are most used or climate control issues), and even automatically notify studio management if equipment needs restocking or maintenance.

Why yoga studios choose Paperform

Yoga studios and wellness centres use Paperform for more than just checklists—it's their all-in-one platform for class bookings, teacher scheduling, waiver collection, workshop registrations, and retail product sales. The forms look beautiful, work seamlessly on mobile, and integrate with the tools you already use like Mindbody, Google Calendar, and your CRM.

For studios managing multiple instructors and class formats, having a standardised setup checklist ensures quality consistency across all sessions while giving teachers the autonomy to customise details. You can even use Stepper workflows to automatically alert your cleaning team if post-class cleanup is needed or notify inventory managers when prop stock runs low.

Start every class with confidence, knowing nothing has been overlooked—because when the space is ready, your students can focus entirely on their practice.
