Re:  YogaWorks, Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-1 for Shares of Common Stock

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

This agreement is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the Underwriting Agreement) between YogaWorks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), and Cowen and Company, LLC (Cowen), Stephens Inc., and Guggenheim Securities, LLC, as representatives (the Representatives) of a group of underwriters (collectively, the Underwriters), to be named therein, relating to the proposed public offering (the Public Offering) of shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Common Stock) of the Company.

In order to induce you and the other Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, and in light of the benefits that the Public Offering will confer upon the undersigned in its capacity as a securityholder and/or an officer, director or employee of the Company, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with each Underwriter that, subject to the exceptions set forth in this agreement, during the period beginning on the date hereof through and including the date that is the one-hundred and eightieth (180th) day after the date of the Underwriting Agreement (such period, the Lock-Up Period), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of, or announce the intention to otherwise dispose of, any shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, Common Stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated under the

Securities Act of 1933, as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time (such shares, the Beneficially Owned Shares)) or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, (ii) enter into any swap, hedge or similar agreement or arrangement that transfers in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of the Beneficially Owned Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition, or (iii) engage in any short selling of the Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, the undersigned further agrees that the foregoing provisions shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed shares of Common Stock the undersigned may purchase in the Public Offering.

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, (i) the Representatives agree that, at least three business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of shares of Common Stock, the Representatives will notify the Company of the impending release or waiver, and (ii) the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver.  Any release or waiver granted by the Representatives hereunder to any such officer or director shall only be effective two business day after the publication date of such press release.  The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this letter to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

The restrictions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph shall not apply to:

(1)                                 if the undersigned is a natural person, any transfers made by the undersigned (a) as a bona fide gift to any member of the immediate family (as defined below) of the undersigned or to a trust the beneficiaries of which are exclusively the undersigned or members of the undersigneds immediate family, (b) by will or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned or (c) as a bona fide gift to a charity or educational institution;

(2)                                 if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, any transfers to any stockholder, partner or member of, or owner of a similar equity interest in, the undersigned, as the case may be, if, in any such case, such transfer is not for value;

(3)                                 if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, any transfer made by the undersigned (a) in connection with the sale or other bona fide transfer in a single transaction of all or substantially all of the undersigneds capital stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other similar equity interests, as the case may be, or all or substantially all of the undersigneds assets, in any such case not undertaken for the purpose of avoiding

the restrictions imposed by this agreement or (b) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity so long as the transferee is an affiliate (as defined below) of the undersigned and such transfer is not for value;

(4)                                 transactions relating to Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock acquired in open market transactions after completion of the Public Offering, provided that no such transaction is required to be, or is, publicly announced (whether on Form 4, Form 5 or otherwise) during the Lock-Up Period;

(5)                                 the entry or amendment, by the undersigned, at any time on or after the date of the Underwriting Agreement, of any trading plan providing for the sale of Common Stock by the undersigned, which trading plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act, provided, however, that such plan does not provide for, or permit, the sale of any Common Stock during the Lock-up Period and no public announcement or filing is voluntarily made or required regarding such plan during the Lock-Up Period;

(6)                                 any transfers made by the undersigned to the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations pursuant to the Companys equity incentive plans or arrangements disclosed in the Prospectus (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement);

(7)                                 if the undersigned is a trust, any transfers made by the undersigned to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust and such transfer is not for value;

(8)                                 any transfers by operation of law, including pursuant to a domestic order or a negotiated divorce settlement;

(9)                                 any transfers of the Companys securities to the Company pursuant to agreements under which the Company has the option to repurchase such securities or the Company has a right of first refusal with respect to transfers of such securities; and

(10)                          any transfers pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of Common Stock involving a change of control of the Company;

provided, however, that (a) in the case of any transfer described in clause (1), (2), (3), (7) or (8)  above, it shall be a condition to the transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to Cowen, acting on behalf of the Underwriters, not later than one business day prior to such transfer, a written agreement, in substantially the form of this agreement (it being understood that any references to immediate family in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the undersigned and not to the immediate family of the transferee) and otherwise satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives, (b) in the case of any transfer described in clause (1), (2), (3), (6) or (7) above, if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or Beneficially Owned

Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or Beneficially Owned Shares during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned shall include a statement in such report to the effect that, (A) in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (1) above, such transfer is being made as a gift or by will or intestate succession, (B) in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (2) above, such transfer is being made to a stockholder, partner or member of, or owner of a similar equity interest in, the undersigned and is not a transfer for value, (C) in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (3) above, such transfer is being made either (a) in connection with the sale or other bona fide transfer in a single transaction of all or substantially all of the undersigneds capital stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other similar equity interests, as the case may be, or all or substantially all of the undersigneds assets or (b) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity that is an affiliate of the undersigned and such transfer is not for value, (D) in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (6) above, such transfer is being made to satisfy tax withholding obligations, (E) in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (7) above, such transfer is being made to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust, and (c) in the case of any transfer described in clause (10) above, in the event that the tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Companys securities owned by the undersigned shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, immediate family shall mean a spouse, child, grandchild or other lineal descendant (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of the undersigned; and affiliate shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this agreement prohibits the undersigned from exercising any options or warrants to purchase Common Stock (which exercises may be effected on a cashless basis to the extent the instruments representing such options or warrants permit exercises on a cashless basis), it being understood that any Common Stock issued upon such exercises will be subject to the restrictions of this agreement.  In addition, the restrictions on transfer and disposition of the securities of the Company during the Lock-Up Period shall not apply to the repurchase of the Companys securities by the Company in connection with the termination of the undersigneds employment or other service with the Company.

In order to enable this covenant to be enforced, the undersigned hereby consents to the placing of legends or stop transfer instructions with the Companys transfer agent with respect to any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.

The undersigned further agrees that it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand or request for or exercise any right with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of any shares of Common Stock or other Beneficially Owned Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or other Beneficially Owned Shares.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this agreement and that this agreement has been duly authorized (if the undersigned is not a natural person), executed and delivered by the undersigned and is a valid and binding agreement of the undersigned.  This agreement and all authority herein conferred are irrevocable and shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned (if a natural person) and

shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in such state.

If (i) prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, either the Representatives notify the Company in writing that they do not intend to proceed with the Public Offering or the Company notifies the Representatives in writing that it does not intend to proceed with the Public Offering, (ii) the Underwriting Agreement is not executed by [ · ], 2017, or (iii) the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated for any reason prior to payment for and delivery of any Common Stock to be sold thereunder, then this agreement shall immediately be terminated and the undersigned shall automatically be released from all of his, her or its obligations under this agreement.  The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions.
