With YOGO’s Teacher Swap feature, teachers can easily swap classes among themselves – less admin work for you, more flexibility for everyone.
First, make sure the feature is activated:
- Go to your YOGO Admin → “Settings” → “Teacher Swap”.
- Enable the checkbox: “Teachers can create teacher swap requests for themselves on classes”
Now your team can request shift changes directly through YOGO Teacher.
The requested teacher and you as the admin will receive an email with the swap request. Both the admin and the teacher being asked to cover the class can accept or decline the request.
Admins can also see all pending requests in the dashboard overview in YOGO Admin—so you always stay in control.
✨ The Teacher Swap feature is available with the Studio and Studio Premium YOGO plans. Need an upgrade? Just reach out to us.
This is how your teachers request a substitute
Share these instructions with your team:
- Log in to YOGO Teacher.
- Click on the class you need a substitute for.
- Then click the button with the two arrows in the top right corner.

- Now you can select the person who should take over the class for you.
- You and the admin will receive an email notifying you that the request is pending. The email also includes a link to cancel the request.
- The requested person will receive an email with all necessary information and a link to either accept or decline the request.
- In YOGO Admin, pending requests are visible immediately upon login. You can click blue to approve or red to decline.
- Once the request is approved or accepted, the schedule is updated automatically, and the class is also assigned to the correct person in the payroll report 🥳
Important: This feature allows your team to swap classes independently.
Although you as the admin can approve or decline requests, your approval is not required for a swap to go through once the function is activated.
