Our Story

Yoga Code Studios

I’m a yoga teacher and software engineer based in Sydney. In 2019 I started KRIYA with my university friend Ashish because we watched studio owners wrestling with systems that were either too expensive, too complicated, or simply not built for how a real studio works.

Teaching yoga gave me a front-row seat to what studio owners actually need: something honest, reliable and built around their workflow — not the other way around. Writing code gave me the tools to build it. We kept the team small on purpose. In 2025 we began the CoreBookings rewrite — a faster, cleaner platform built on everything we learned from six years running KRIYA.

Built Around Real Studios

We’ve worked closely with independent Australian studios since 2019. Studio owners don’t need another bloated platform — they need something that works on Tuesday morning when the class is full and the waitlist is moving. CoreBookings handles bookings, memberships, passes, payments, teachers and clients in one place. No lock-in contracts. No per-student fees. No surprise charges.

The Team

Small team. Direct access. No outsourced support.

Our team is based in Sydney and works closely with independent studios across Australia. We build and support the platform ourselves — so you always know who you’re talking to.

Designed for Studio Life

Every studio runs a little differently. Whether you’re running reformer Pilates, teaching Vinyasa, selling 10-week term passes or mixing online and in-studio sessions — CoreBookings adapts to your structure, not the other way around.

We’ve set up studios of every shape: single-room yoga spaces, multi-location dance academies, martial arts clubs, kids’ programs and everything in between. If it moves and people book it, we’ve probably already handled it.
