Selling a YogaSix Franchise

Boutique Yoga Franchise Resale & M&A Advisory for YogaSix Owners

By Mercedes Shaffer, Managing Director | Highwater Partners

Selling a YogaSix franchise is a specialized transaction that requires boutique fitness expertise, disciplined valuation, and national buyer exposure. YogaSix operates within the modern yoga and group fitness segment, where recurring memberships, instructor quality, studio utilization, and brand consistency are closely evaluated by buyers, lenders, landlords, and the franchisor. Experienced M&A representation is essential to protect value and execute a successful transaction.

At Highwater Partners, we specialize in franchise resale and M&A advisory across fitness, wellness, health, and lifestyle sectors, representing YogaSix franchise owners nationwide. We advise owners on single-studio sales, multi-unit portfolio exits, and strategic divestitures, delivering a professional, highly structured process designed to maximize value and reduce execution risk.

True to our name, Highwater Partners serves clients at the highest level, combining disciplined execution with senior-level advisory and deep respect for the responsibility of representing an owner’s business.

Why Selling a YogaSix Franchise Requires Specialized M&A Expertise

YogaSix franchise resales involve category-specific and operational considerations, including:

• Franchisor approval and formal transfer requirements

• Buyer net worth, liquidity, and boutique fitness or studio-operating experience

• Instructor recruitment, certification, and retention

• Membership revenue stability, retention, and churn analysis

• Class utilization, schedule optimization, and studio capacity

• Digital booking systems and membership technology

• Lease assignment, landlord consent, and boutique studio real estate economics

These factors directly affect valuation credibility, buyer qualification, financing, and transaction timelines. A general business broker may understand service businesses—but a boutique yoga franchise M&A advisor understands YogaSix.

How YogaSix Franchises Are Valued

YogaSix franchise valuations are driven by recurring membership revenue, class utilization efficiency, and operational consistency, not gross revenue alone.

Key valuation considerations include:

• Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) or EBITDA

• Active membership base and retention trends

• Average class attendance and instructor compensation

• Ancillary revenue (retail, workshops, premium classes)

• Lease terms, rent ratios, and remaining option periods

• Owner involvement versus manager-led studio operations

• Brand compliance and anticipated reinvestment

At Highwater Partners, we apply M&A-grade financial normalization and valuation methodologies, ensuring the studio is positioned credibly for qualified buyers and lenders.
