solidarity scholarships

The Scholarship Fund

We pay for this solidarity scholarship fund via our sliding scale yoga classes - all payment from those classes (after paying our teachers), gets put into a scholarship fund. 

​

Creativity, movement, and healing should never be out of reach.  We offer tiered pricing to bridge the gap between financial barriers and wellness, and not because we don’t need the income—we do—but because solidarity matters. If your challenge is short-term cash flow (you will eventually have access to the funds, just not all at once), please reach out to set up a payment plan rather than using a discounted rate.

Please do not choose discounted rates simply because you prefer to pay less or feel anxious about future scarcity. If you have friends, family, or other networks who can support you financially, we encourage you to utilize that support. Make your decision based on facts, not feelings. There is no need to explain or justify your situation—if you need it, please ask. While the fund fluctuates day-to-day, we will always do our best to make it work.

​

"Pay What I Can": For those who are employed, can comfortably manage occasional luxuries (like a short vacation), and have access to emergency funds ask for a 15% – 30% discount if you need. A flexible option to keep classes accessible.
