Who we are

Together, we’re stronger with a focus on shared success. We are a community, not an assortment of owners. With strategic alignment, we have unified voice to share with Xponential Fitness.

Our goals are to:

  • Foster a spirit of cooperation and channel pro-active energies to resolve common problems.

  • Develop better approaches to operating our businesses.

  • Maximize the value of our studios.

Our mission is twofold:

  • Build, strengthen and protect the value and profitability of YogaSix® franchisees.

  • Foster transparency amongst the franchisor, their affiliates and franchisees.

IAYF CHAPTER

The IAYF is a chapter of the American Association of Franchisees & Dealers (AAFD).

We chose to partner the AAFD because it is a not-for-profit organization dedicated exclusively to supporting franchisees. This allows them to have a keen understanding of franchisee pain points, tailor resources and advocacy specifically to the needs of franchisees, delivering more effective support and representation.
