Yoga Bar leads at 38.8% citation share this edition, just 0.7 percentage points ahead of The Whole Truth, with Gemini selecting The Whole Truth first at 57.1% while ChatGPT and AI Mode prefer Yoga Bar.

The move

Yoga Bar led at 38.8% citation share, up 2.1 percentage points from the previous edition, with The Whole Truth just behind at 38.1%.

The engines split: Gemini placed The Whole Truth first at 57.1%, while ChatGPT selected Yoga Bar at 30.6% and Google AI Mode selected Yoga Bar at 44.9%.

Happilo was the biggest single-edition mover in the negative direction, falling 5.1 percentage points to 10.9% and dropping one rank position.

Plix and MyMuse both recorded 0% citation share this edition.

What it means

A category leader at 38.8% is definitively fragmented, placing this vertical below the threshold where any single brand has a stable citation advantage, and the 0.7 percentage point gap between the top two brands means the lead is essentially statistical noise.

The Gemini preference for The Whole Truth at 57.1% represents a 16 percentage point premium over Yoga Bar on that engine, which is a commercially significant divergence for operators whose target audiences discover products primarily through Gemini-driven search.

Happilo's 5.1 percentage point decline, combined with its 19% cautious-sentiment score, the highest in the vertical, suggests that citation quality, not just citation volume, is degrading for that brand, a pattern that tends to compound if the underlying source narrative is not addressed.

The complete disappearance of Plix and MyMuse from citation this edition, recording 0% share, is more consequential than a typical rank decline because AI engines have effectively stopped referencing these brands, a position that requires active source-rebuilding to reverse.

Operators in this vertical have more citation-gap opportunity than in most others, but the absence of a dominant anchor brand means investment must be made in category-defining content and communities, not just brand-specific pages, to build durable citation presence.
