Check-in software for meditation studios

Drop-in sits, intro courses, retreats, and teacher-led series — managed with a calm front desk. Built for studios running mindfulness, vipassana, and loving-kindness streams side-by-side.

What keeps meditation studios up on a Tuesday

  • Drop-in sits that should be low-friction — and no tablet at the entrance suits your aesthetic.
  • Intro courses (8-week MBSR) that need fixed-cohort billing.
  • Day retreats and weekend retreats that need deposit-plus-balance billing.
  • Donations alongside paid classes — two pricing models, one roster.

How SessionHQ fits meditation studios

Phone-first check-in

No tablet needed. Members PIN-check on their phone at the door.

Fixed-cohort courses

MBSR and other structured courses run as fixed-block passes. One price, 8 weeks.

Donation-based sits

Pay-what-you-can sits supported as zero-price passes with optional Square tips.

Built around how you already talk

  • "Sit" is the base class type; "retreat" and "course" layer on top.
  • "Dana" (donation) pricing coexists with fixed-price streams in many studios.

Typical passes for meditation studios

  • Drop-in sit (single session)
  • 8-week MBSR course
  • Weekend retreat (fixed date)

FAQ

Can I run donation-based sits?
Yes — zero-price pass with an optional Square tip at check-in.
Do you support weekend retreats with deposits?
Retreat booking takes a deposit up front; balance at check-in on the retreat date.
Does this feel clinical?
Kiosk can be toned-down — a simple PIN flow, no stock imagery. We lean quiet by default.
