I am a first generation American in my family raised by a single mother. I grew up seeing her struggle to survive and provide for us with no access to wellness opportunities in our community. Self care was a luxury. It is because of my own family experiences that I feel so called to run our space in a way that provides opportunities for those in the community who struggle with access to wellness opportunities.
Our vision with our wellness events and classes is to make them accessible to all who feel the pull towards the practice. Our intent is for wellness to be financially available to all and for all to be welcomed despite any personal circumstance or hardship. Because of this, we offer a sliding scale payment system. For a sliding scale to work without burdening our practitioners or each other, it relies on the principles of truthfulness, not taking what is not freely given, and generosity. We understand this price may vary each session permitting you to give a little less and sometimes a lot more.
​
Yoga Recommended Sliding Scale
$5-$10-$15
Nobody turned away for lack of funds
​
Children's Wellness Class
$75-$85 for six week session
