SimplePractice is for mental health therapists. Mindbody is for studios. Jane App is for Canadian clinics. SadhanaFlow is the only practice management software built for IAYT-certified yoga therapists — with AI protocol generation, yoga-specific intake forms, and home practice assignment out of the box.
The universal pain points yoga therapists face aren't about finding the best software — they're about the fact that no software was designed for this profession at all.
Most yoga therapists run on: Acuity + Google Forms + Google Docs + Zoom + Wave. None of these talk to each other. None are HIPAA-compliant. And you're paying for all of them separately.
SimplePractice, Jane App, and Practice Better have zero yoga therapy intake fields pre-built. Every new tool means rebuilding your physical limitations, contraindications, and dosha assessment fields from zero.
Mindbody starts at $179/month — designed for multi-staff studios with class schedules. A solo yoga therapist seeing 10 clients a week has no business paying $179/mo for tools they'll never use.
Standard SOAP note formats exist in every tool — but none have fields for asana prescribed, pranayama, kosha evaluation, home practice assignment, or IAYT-competency-aligned treatment planning.
The therapeutic relationship doesn't end at the session. Yoga therapy requires adherence tracking between sessions — something no general-purpose tool has ever considered building.
Anthem and several Blue Cross plans now cover yoga therapy. But SimplePractice's billing is built for mental health CPT codes. Yoga therapy codes (97110, 97530, S9451) require painful workarounds everywhere except here.
Every competitor has something. None of them have what yoga therapists actually need. Here's the full picture.

Each tool has a clear reason it falls short for yoga therapy — not because they're bad products, but because you were never their customer.
The difference isn't just pricing. It's that every workflow in SadhanaFlow was designed around how a C-IAYT certified yoga therapist actually works — from first intake to ongoing practice.
Pre-built intake fields for physical limitations, contraindications, asana experience, movement history, primary health goals, and dosha assessment. Zero customization required to start seeing clients.
Answer intake questions once. SadhanaFlow generates a personalized yoga therapy protocol — asana sequences, pranayama, modifications, and home practice prescription — in minutes, not hours.
Upload your own asana demonstration videos with SadhanaFlow's built-in asana library. Clients see exactly how to perform each pose — your cues, your style, your practice.
Every client gets a branded practice page with their protocol, embedded video demos, and session notes. Automated reminders keep adherence high between sessions.
Session note templates designed around yoga therapy documentation — not generic SOAP templates retrofitted from mental health EHRs. Record what actually matters to your practice.
$49/month. Not $69, not $179, not a studio plan priced per staff member. If you're a solo yoga therapist, you pay for one solo practitioner tool.
I spent three years trying to make SimplePractice work for my yoga therapy practice. Every form, every note, every protocol — built from scratch every time. SadhanaFlow had my intake process ready in 20 minutes.
