About CoreBookings
Australian studio software, built by people who’ve taught the class
We’re the small Sydney team behind CoreBookings (formerly KRIYA). We build booking and studio management tools for independent yoga, Pilates and movement studios — without enterprise bloat or lock-in contracts.
Our story
From a real studio problem to a platform studios rely on
In 2019, yoga teacher and software engineer Frank Pineiro co-founded KRIYA after watching studio owners struggle with tools that were too expensive, too complicated, or simply not built for how a studio actually runs.
Teaching gave us a front-row seat to the messy Tuesday mornings: full classes, waitlists, memberships and payments. We kept the team small on purpose so we could stay close to that reality. In 2025 we began the CoreBookings rewrite — a faster, cleaner platform built on everything we learned from years of running KRIYA.
What we believe
Simple software for independent studios
Studio owners don’t need another bloated platform. They need something that works when the class is full and the waitlist is moving.
Built for studio life
Bookings, memberships, passes, payments, teachers and clients in one place — designed around how independent studios actually operate.
Fair and transparent
No lock-in contracts. No per-student fees. No surprise charges. Clear pricing that stays out of the way.
Direct human support
We build and support the platform ourselves. When you get in touch, you’re talking to the same team that ships the product.
The team
Small team. Direct access.
Based in Sydney and working with studios across Australia. We keep the circle small so support stays personal and the product stays focused.

Designed for how studios actually run
Whether you teach reformer Pilates, Vinyasa, term-based programs, or a mix of online and in-studio classes, CoreBookings adapts to your structure — not the other way around.
We’ve set up single-room yoga spaces, multi-location studios, martial arts clubs, kids’ programs and more. If people book it and you run it, we’ve probably already handled it.
