Breathe Hot Yoga Bradford: Doubling Revenue with WellnessLiving
Breathe Hot Yoga Bradford is a boutique yoga studio in Bradford, Ontario, founded by Rosie White. Passionate about building a welcoming community, Rosie and her team have grown the studio into a thriving business.
“We’ve been hustling. We made it through COVID, and we keep building the business with workshops, events, and retreats,” Rosie shares.
Originally using Mindbody, Rosie switched to WellnessLiving in 2021 for its affordability and the custom-branded client app. Since then, the studio has nearly doubled its revenue while improving efficiency.

Meet Rosie White
Rosie’s yoga journey began as a way to manage anxiety. “About 15 years ago, I was struggling with debilitating anxiety. Yoga was one of the things I put in my toolbox to help me handle it,” she explains.
After moving to Bradford, she frequently attended a hot yoga studio—until it suddenly closed. Determined to keep the practice alive in her community, Rosie stepped up to open her own studio, all while continuing her career as a full-time schoolteacher.
“I opened this studio because I wanted to help people. We’ve grown quite the community. It’s amazing,” she says.
How Breathe Hot Yoga Bradford Stands Out
The studio offers a diverse mix of classes, from hot pilates and restorative yoga to unique experiences like Glow in the Dark Yoga, Reiki, and Cold Plunges. Rosie’s focus, however, is on connection.
“For me, it’s our intentions. It’s our heart,” she explains. “We value every human being who walks through that door. We’re a big family. A community. People feel it as soon as they walk in.”
To make yoga accessible, Breathe Hot Yoga Bradford offers an introductory deal of $65 for one month of unlimited classes, leading to an impressive 75-80% retention rate.
“I know that I’m never going to make a million dollars from this place, but I know that what I’m making is far more important than the financial piece. We’re helping people every day, and that’s an incredible feeling,” Rosie says.
Why Rosie Switched to WellnessLiving
Rosie initially researched WellnessLiving on her own, and after connecting with the team, she knew it was the right fit.
“I moved over because of the app and the cost. With WellnessLiving, I get both the Achieve Client App and the software for what I was paying for Mindbody. That was enticing,” she says.
The Features That Transformed the Business
White Label Achieve Client App
The White Label Achieve Client App is a custom branded mobile app that boosts revenue, elevates the client experience, and provides Rosie with her own mobile app with Breathe Hot Yoga Bradford’s brand logo and colors. Plus, clients can easily view the schedule, book classes, manage their client profile, purchase classes and workshops, and more. “I think the app has increased our revenue by close to double. It’s the convenience factor,” Rosie explains.
Making it easy for clients to book classes and workshops 24/7 from their mobile devices equals more bookings. The ease and convenience also make clients feel valued, helping to boost retention.
“It’s 100% easier for clients to book classes. I think most of my clients would be lost without the app now. They’ve said that. They love the app,” Rosie says.
Event Booking & Automated Marketing
With frequent events and workshops, Rosie uses WellnessLiving’s event booking feature to easily set up and promote events.
“Some of our events involve people from outside of the studio. It’s great that I can create events for them. Then I can give them a link, and it’s easy for them to promote it on their Instagram,” she shares.
The automated marketing suite saves time by sending class reminders, event notifications, and important updates via email, SMS, and push notifications.
“If we have to cancel a class or there’s a substitute teacher, we can let students know right away,” Rosie says. “That saves a ton of time for me and my instructors.”
Elevate Staff App & Reporting Tools
Rosie and her instructors use the Elevate Staff App to check in students, process payments, and manage the schedule with ease.
“It’s very convenient and allows me to have an overview so I can think and look ahead. It also helps me with planning,” she says.
Advanced reporting tools help Rosie analyze trends and track growth. “I always look at my yearly reports because I like to see how we’re doing in comparison to the same month of the previous year. That helps me to see where we can improve,” she explains.
Website Widgets & Reviews
The booking widget on the studio’s website makes signing up for classes easy, while the customer review feature helps build credibility and attract new students.
“It’s great! Other people can see the reviews easily,” Rosie says. She often turns client testimonials into Canva graphics to promote the studio on social media.
Running a Thriving Studio with WellnessLiving
For Rosie, WellnessLiving has made it possible to streamline operations without hiring a full-time front desk staff.
“WellnessLiving has helped me run a business without having to have a front desk. That’s a huge bonus,” she says.
With an intuitive mobile app, automation tools, and insightful reports, Rosie can focus on what matters most—helping her students thrive.
