Founder-led beta with Olivia Jeffers

Software for generous studios.

A calmer way to run dana, memberships, work-study, policies, and transparent teacher pay.

Two payment models

Western pricing. Eastern generosity. Honoring both cultures.

In the late 1800s, Eastern traditions like yoga began entering the Western dance, movement, and studio world; many studios still inherit that booking model. But for thousands of years, yoga moved warm hand to warm hand: teacher to student, community to community, through dana - time, money, volunteer service, food, cleaning, or care offered gladly and willingly.

The Triple Gem

The Triple Gem values embedded in software.

Buddha

Inner buddha nature

Creating spaces for people to connect to their inner buddha natures through yoga practice.

Calling and expression

Creating places for people to discover their callings and giving outlets for expression, including teaching classes and community leadership.

Gathering and connection

Offering community gathering spaces where people can be known, supported, and connected.

The studio story

Built for studios where generosity is real.

Free community classes, by-donation practice, work-study, facilitator-led gatherings, and role-based access should not live in side spreadsheets.

Karma Yoga is the first studio shaping Sangha from real operations: policies, classes, late cancels, Instagram, and teacher pay.

Olivia explains why Karma Yoga moved to Sangha: community-first offerings, dana, and clearer teacher payroll.

Features

The way we actually do it, built into the software.

Pay-by-donation offerings

Money and service can both be held honestly.

Work-study in the system

Service blocks and access grants live beside the schedule.

Policy settings in context

Late-cancel and access rules show up before anyone has to ask.

Transparent teacher pay

Paystubs show which classes were paid and why.

Instagram feed integration

Studio posts can meet students inside the member experience.

Stripe Connect ready

Student-to-studio payments stay clean and separate.

Key marketing innovations

A studio operating model, not just a booking page.

Sangha gives studios language and infrastructure for the real ways access, pricing, contribution, community, and accountability overlap.

Student usability

Let pricing and roles grant the right access and perks, so students, teachers, and staff see a studio relationship instead of fake membership workarounds.

Community context in the product

The app can carry studio identity, public offerings, Instagram updates, and member access in one responsive PWA.

One access model for the whole studio

Pricing, roles, memberships, passes, teacher privileges, work-study, and complimentary access can all resolve in one place without fake $0 products.

Pricing and roles give access and perks

A teacher can receive class access through their role and pricing perks, like 20% savings on workshops, without selling them a fake $0/month membership.

Drag-and-drop event creation

Teams can create and adjust classes, workshops, appointments, and rentals directly on the calendar instead of translating studio time into separate forms.

Community values

Honor the mixed economy of practice, contribution, generosity, and belonging without hiding it in payment workarounds.

Built for hybrid economies

Sangha supports Western pricing and Eastern dana side by side, so studios do not have to flatten generosity into coupons.

Dana is a first-class payment model

Money, volunteer service, cleaning, facilitation, food, and care can be recorded as real contribution without pretending everything is a dollar discount.

Access grants, not fake memberships

Complimentary access from role, work-study, or community policy is tracked as permission, not as a paid membership, hidden coupon, teacher $0/month plan, or made-up sale.

Paid revenue stays clean

Memberships, passes, bookings, workshops, and Stripe Connect payments stay separate from dana and service-based exchange.

Admin support

Give owners and teams the operational tools to schedule, explain, audit, and protect the whole studio.

Designed from real studio operations

Karma Yoga patterns shape the product: recurring classes, special events, role-based access, contribution tracking, policies, and teacher pay.

Policies resolve dynamically

Access, discounts, comped memberships, cancellation rules, and special cases can follow the right studio policy at the moment they are needed.

Room rental support

Studios can book rooms as real rentable space instead of hiding rentals inside appointments under a fake teacher account.

Full space schedule view

Classes, workshops, appointments, and rentals can be seen together so teams do not tab between calendars and accidentally double book a room.

Recurring scheduling with lunar cycles

Studios can build Google Calendar-like recurrence for classes and rituals, including lunar patterns for celebrations like Ekadashi or full moon practice.

Integration-native by design

Sangha is cooperative at the core: we rely on trusted tools to do what they do best, so studios keep useful data flowing and Sangha can focus on studio operations.

Transparent teacher economics

Teachers can see how classes, workshops, role benefits, and policy decisions connect to access and pay.

Studio-owned financial flow

Student-to-studio money can move through Stripe Connect while Sangha keeps SaaS billing and community exchange separate.

Auditable decisions

When access or savings are granted, the system can point back to the role, pricing rule, policy version, and inputs that created the decision.
