MY YOGA NETWORK BUSINESS PLAN 10 The main competitors of My Yoga Network in California include Ananda Dhira Yoga, Beach Yoga SoCal, and California Yoga Center.  Financial Statistics - Ascension $ % Gross Patient Revenue %130,980,000 90.7% Non-Patient Revenue $16,736,110 15% Total Revenue $147,916,110   Net Income (or Loss) $634,168 0.6 Global Industry Concerns Current global industry concerns for the My Yoga Network include COVID-19 restrictions and medical provider shortages. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused treatment restrictions for hospitals which has led to financial instability for healthcare organizations. In addition, the COVID-19 global pandemic has caused widespread healthcare industry issues as there are mass employee burnouts, shortages, and illness or death (Swamy & Agoramoorthy, 2021). This global phenomenon has put a strain on My Yoga Network’s operations and has drastically hurt the service industry. This could prevent the Wellness center from being able to operate at max capacity or even shut it down together which will greatly affect the bottom line. In addition, the aging baby-boomer population is a big issue that’s leading to a larger population of patients needing care and a smaller workforce as many providers are retiring. This industry concern could cause issues for the Wellness center as it may be more difficult to staff the facility with medical providers as time goes on (Swamy & Agoramoorthy, 2021). Target Markets The target audience and full-time of the company are older people and less likely to be students, means the Yoga center will be able to sustain itself even during large breaks and winter seasons when tourist in California is less ( Tanri & Windasari, 2023).

Our platform facilitates the seamless connection between qualified yoga therapists and medical professionals, offering a full ecosystem that distinguishes us from conventional healthcare providers by taking a holistic approach to healthcare delivery ( Woong & Goh, 2021).
