Cityoga: Yoga progress pants

Cityoga: Yoga progress pants
Average: 8 (72 votes)

Problem: Cityoga studio noticed that new students often quit before completing their first month of classes. When asked why, their insight was revealed: they didn’t see quick results after the first few classes.

Solution:To prove that yoga brings results from day one, we created special Yoga Progress Pants that allowed new students to visibly measure their stretching progress. Every time they practiced, they could measure with the printed ruler how far their fingers, chest or nose reached. Witty phrases challenged them to stretch further and thus continue practicing at Cityoga.

Results: After the promo Cityoga reduced the number of new students who quit: every third beginner continued practicing after the first month of classes.

Looks like a good idea.

I'm guessing the pants would sit different on different days and so not be accurate, but I'd also guess people might tend to cheat themselves into seeing progress; even if just a little, subconsciously. So good.

Nice idea for yoga beginners--I know the feeling! Cute phrases, too!

Hmm, i would be an old master from the start without a single lesson of yoga.
May be it works with old stiff people. But a don´t trust the fotos of the youngsters at this board.
