Houston Yogis

You bring a class you already teach. We put it on the Houston Yogis calendar and take prepaid reservations, so people book and pay before class — and you're not collecting Venmo while you're trying to teach.

No. That's the whole point. Houston Yogis is your home on the web. Keep posting on Instagram exactly how you do — just point your link in bio to your Houston Yogis listing.

No — a phone is enough. You scan people's QR tickets with your phone's camera. No scanner, no hardware.

Give us the class details (what, where, when, how many spots), and teach. We handle the reservations, tickets, delivery, and refunds. Low admin — not zero responsibility: the class itself, and anything like a waiver or your own insurance, stays yours.

Option A — We run your ticketsFree to list
We take reservations through secure Square checkout, email each person a QR ticket, keep a record of who's coming, and pay you out. No fee to be on the calendar.

Option B — Keep your own linkListing fee
Already use Eventbrite, Partiful, or your own link? Keep it. Your listing's button points to your platform. You pay a flat listing fee to appear on the calendar and reach our audience.

Yes. That's Option B — we honor your existing link for a listing fee. We're not going to force you off tools you like.

For most classes, letting us run the tickets (Option A) costs you less than doing it yourself on Eventbrite — because the big platforms add a flat per-ticket fee that hits lower-priced classes hard. Run your own numbers on the calculator and see.

You do. It's your class.

On Option A, we take a small service fee on top of ordinary card processing — and we hold it below what the big ticket platforms charge. On Option B, it's a flat listing fee instead. Either way it's spelled out plainly up front; no surprises in your payout.

Twice a month, on a set schedule to start — that's our baseline so you always know when a payout lands. We're working toward faster, even same-day payouts as we bring more payment options online; when that's live for your setup, you'll get it.

You come aboard as a 1099 vendor — a normal contractor arrangement, the same way many teaching gigs pay. We settle on a payout method that works for you when you sign on, then we keep the records and handle the payouts on the set schedule.

Yes. Alongside fixed-price tickets, you get your own Houston Yogis support page — a personal page with a QR code and link where anyone can chip in a one-time amount you set the tiers for. Run a class as pay-what-you-can, take donations at a free session, or accept ongoing support — share the QR at the door or the link in your bio. Regular fixed-price prepaid tickets are still there for classes you'd rather sell a set seat for; use whichever fits the class.

Give us 24 hours' notice and we notify everyone who reserved and refund them in full. No penalty for a good-faith cancellation.

You make the call by a set time before start; everyone who booked is refunded. We can help you reschedule.

Standard policy is a full refund up to 24 hours before start, none after. But real life happens — we can work things case by case, give class credit, or make their ticket good for another event.

Nobody gets penalized for a no-show. Life happens, and someone who couldn't make it hasn't done anything wrong. Their prepaid spot isn't just gone — it can be honored at a future session, and we sort those out case by case so it stays fair to both you and them. You're still paid for the class you were ready to teach; no awkward "did you pay?" at the door, and no one leaves feeling shorted.

You decide whether to run it. We bring the audience and the tools — we don't guarantee turnout, and we won't pretend to.

Reservations close automatically at the capacity you set.

Scan tickets with your phone. No dedicated door person? Snap a photo of everyone's QR codes and email them — we turn that into your attendance record. An offline option for spots with no signal is on the way (we'll say so clearly once it's field-tested).

We resend it. Nobody needs to panic over a QR code.

You get a full copy of your attendee data automatically — bundled into your event reports and payouts, no login, no paywall. Unlike a big marketplace that keeps your list locked inside its walls, your customers come with you.

Short version: we only communicate to run the classes and ticketing described here — the ticket itself, changes, reminders, and the occasional Houston Yogis community update (with a clear opt-out), all disclosed to people at checkout. We don't sell data, and we don't use it for anything beyond running Houston Yogis. That's it.

Your future listings come down, and the records you were already given stay yours. No lock-in.
