As of January, Yoga Club DFW became the first donation-based yoga studio in southern Dallas.
Donation-based yoga is designed to make the benefits of this mind-body fitness system available to everyone. The standard yoga business model has students paying $12, $20, or more per class in their search for stronger, more flexible bodies and inner-peace. In contrast, the donation-based system makes yoga available to everyone, no matter their financial situation.
More than 20 million people nationwide practice yoga, receiving health benefits that range from alleviation of lower back pain and improved sleep to help coping with the symptoms of PTSD. Yoga is a fitness and wellness system more and more are looking toward for help, and yet, the high prices associated with yoga make it a luxury.
"I was told donation-based yoga did better in higher income areas like North Dallas," says Alex Hamby, owner and lead instructor at the power and yin yoga studio in Cedar Hill. "But I couldn't make sense of this idea that you had to have money, and lots of it, to practice yoga."
Through a donation-based system, individuals seeking to practice will pay what they can. Yoga Club DFW recommends a $15.00 contribution per each class. Those who participate are further invited to donate according to the number of classes they take per week.
1x per week … $12.00 –
$15.00 per class
2x per week … $8.00 – $13.00 per class
3x per week … $5.00 – $10.00 per class
4 or more … around $5 per class
Those needing a little more help can pay in the range of $3.00 – $5.00 per class. Or, you can join monthly for just $59.
