How do I play?

Here’s how to play:

1. Pick up a 3-pack of guest pass referral cards in a colorful envelope at the studio’s back desk. The back of each guest pass features a QR code that directs you and your guest to this page. Here, you will find step-by-step directions on how to play, prizes, tips for success, eligibility, terms & rules, and FAQ.

2. Fill out each card with your name and fitDEGREE referral code. Your referral code is found on the dashboard or “Home” of your fitDEGREE app (see example below).

3. Hand out the cards to your family, in-laws, colleagues, insurance broker, dental hygienist, pastor, massage therapist, BFF, friends, and anyone else who would enjoy a yoga class or sound bath session. You do not need to attend the classes together.

Note: If your guest has already attended a class at the studio in any capacity, they are not eligible to participate as a guest in the March Madness Challenge. See the Rules section below for details.

What’s next?

Thanks for asking! It’s your guest’s turn. Each guest will:

1. Enter their name on the guest card.

2. Create an account and enter your provided Referral Code at account creation.

3. Book a class using the Drop In payment option.

4. Enter the promo code (listed on the guest’s card) at checkout.

5. Bring the card to the studio when they attend class and drop it in the white drawing box.

6. Mark off a square under your name. The student should find your name on the March Madness chart (image below) in the studio and place an X under your name.

F.A.Q

If you have more questions not addressed here, please email us at hello@crownyoga.co!

  • There is no limit!

    Initially, you will get 3 guest passes. If you give those out and want more, ask your teacher or reach out to Sarah (hello@crownyoga.co) for more passes! There is no limit on the number of guests you can bring—but without the physical pass, the referral won’t be valid.

    The more friends you bring in, the greater your opportunity for rewards grow, and our community flourishes together!

  • No.

    We want as many new folks to walk through our doors (and try our classes) as possible! Our goal is to grow our community and keep you all excited and rewarded for participating in that effort!

  • No. Your guest must be new to the studio.

  • Uh, YEAH! 👍

    For each referral/guest who purchases a new student intro package (the Starter Pass), a membership, or a class pack, you'll receive a $10 credit applied directly to your account! These credits are flexible and can be used for a variety of purchases. This is part of the challenge, but is always in place throughout the year.

    Important: Please reach out to the studio (hello@crownyoga.co) to make sure we caught the membership referral so that we can credit your account!

  • Wow—great question! See the Tips section, below.

  • Branch out. All guests must be new to the studio. If they’ve attended using a guest pass, drop-in pass, or any class pack or membership, they are ineligible to play in this challenge (and are still always welcome back to the studio).

  • Get creative. Consider extending invitations to people outside your immediate circle—colleagues, your stylist, nanny, teacher, mom-friends, or local community members you interact with. Who do you know that could use some self-care love right now?

  • Wellness enthusiasts. Ideally, offer guest passes to those passionate about self-care, mindfulness, restorative practices, health and wellness, physical activities, or those who could benefit from these practices. Yoga is an excellent complement to activities like trail running, cycling, or CrossFit, especially on rest days.

  • Simply: Just do it. Each guest you bring earns both you and them an entry into the drawing, plus even more prizes for you as a Member. The more friends you invite, the higher your chances of winning!

  • Get social. If you're part of wellness-focused Facebook groups or Instagram communities, consider offering your guest passes there. You can also share them on your own social media to gauge interest. Our typical demographics are women in their mid-30s to late 50s with diverse backgrounds, abilities, and experience levels.

  • Starter Pass gold. When your guest purchases a the Starter Pass (intro offer), membership, or class pack, you'll receive a $20 account credit and they will get $10 off. There is no limit on how many times you can earn this credit. For more details, check the "Goal: Invite Guest Who Purchases a Plan" section above!

  • Add Friends in FitDEGREE. Once your guests join, tap the social icon (💬) and search their first and last name in the Search bar at the top. When connected, you'll be able to see if your friend/guest is registered for the same classes as you. (Pro tip: You can also invite regular Crown Yoga members from your classes to be “friends” in the fitDEGREE app!)
