By becoming a sustaining member, you will be part of a community that cares about supporting the health and well–being of our yoga teaching community — including equitable pay for teachers, affordable space rental for those in the insight and healing arts, and more. Your donation will allow us to continue to provide quality yoga classes and workshops that keep our members healthy and happy.
We want to be as transparent as possible!
We are non-commercial in nature– our interest is in scaling on a grassroots level, not in a venture capital-kill-your-young kind of way. We believe in sustainability, and as such we wish to provide: a single teacher $40,000 for a part time salary, a studio manager $20,000 as part time salary, as well as cover the brick and mortar expenses, we would require 28 students at the $288 Monthly Unlimited rate.
To take a closer look at what one of our local boutique fitness facility charges, and you’ll see that perhaps yoga is woefully undervalued compared to the market. Lets look at what Solid Core offers:
- 4 Classes/Month: $36/class
Total cost: $144/month. At Solid Core, classes do not roll over. - 8 Classes/Month: $25/class
Total cost: $200/month. Classes do not roll over. - 12 Classes/Month: $20/class
Total cost: $240/month. Classes do not roll over. - Monthly Unlimited: $18/class (based on 16 classes)
Total cost: $288/month. Classes do not roll over.
As you can see, if you’re coming for 3 classes a week, you’d be encouraged to donate $240 a class at $20 a class. You can see that perhaps this ramps up quickly for a 6x a week practice. No wonder it’s so hard to scale! We actually want to see you!
