We often think we are the only ones struggling or the only ones in great financial despair. But as we've learned in the past (and I guess since lockdown), often times there are students in our community who have to stop yoga because of their financial status. We as a studio and for this reason, keep our costs as low as possible but it does often mean that when students leave and can't afford their monthly yoga, the studio takes a great knock and it affects us all. (Sad truth on the modern world)
It has been absolutely amazing to see in the past our compassionate yoga students always donating classes and funds where they can in ordered to gift others with mats, classes and times of support!!! Those students have come back with even more offerings and the giving keeps giving and the web of community reminds us that we are never truly alone in our struggles or the only ones.
Sooooo yogis....
We've got a suggestion and would like your thoughts, suggestions and public expertise on the matter.
Instead of raising class prices beyond ridiculous (like our fuel lol), we would like to start a coffee and yoga coupon session that our students get the opportunity to either donate towards or purchase for another student or even teacher?
What do you think?
You might say it's just coffee, it won't change the world...but in small ways....we will change people's days and if you've ever had a coffee bought for you, you know how special it can be :)
