For most yoga studio profiles the best primary category is Yoga studio — use it when: yoga classes. Choose Pilates studio instead if pilates classes. Fitness categories should describe the venue and the main class format. A gym that runs a few yoga classes is still a gym; a yoga studio with a weights corner is still a yoga studio.

Primary category
- Yoga studio — Yoga classes
- Pilates studio — Pilates classes
Secondary (additional) categories
Add one only if the condition is genuinely true at this location. Fewer, accurate categories beat a full list of nine.
- Meditation center — only if: meditation classes
- Yoga instructor — only if: teacher training
Categories to avoid
These are often added to yoga studio profiles but usually describe a different or broader business:
- Gym
- Physical therapist
Address or service area?
Usually a storefront: show the full address exactly as it appears on your signage, and keep it identical on Google, Apple Business Connect, Bing Places and your website. Service-area vs storefront rules.
Starter services to add
Categories say what you are; services say what you do. Good first entries:
- Drop-in classes
- Beginner courses
- Private sessions
Check before you change anything
Search “yoga studio” on Google Maps in your own area, open the top few profiles and note their primary category (shown under the business name). Use what's common as a sanity check, not a template — your categories must describe your business. Ready to switch? How to change your category safely.
